Tausen(given by Ellen Hall)
The Reformer of Denmark, was a peasants son. The boy early gave evidence of vigorous intellect; he thirsted for an ed ucation; but this was denied him by the circumstances of his parents, and he entered a cloister(abbey/monastery). Here the purity of his life, together with his diligence and fidelity, won the favor of his superior. Examinaton showed him to possess t alent that promised at some future day good service to the church. It was determined to give him an education at some one of the universities of Germany or the Netherlands. The young student was granted permission to choose a school for himself, with one proviso, that he must not go to Wittenberg. The scholar of the church was not to be endangered by
the poison of heresy. So said the friars.Tausen went to Cologne, which was then, as now, one of the strongholds of Romanism. Here he soon became disgusted with the mysticisms of the schoolmen. About the same time he obtained Luthers writings. He read them with wonder and delight, and greatly desired to enjoy the personal instruction of the Reformer. But to do so he must risk giving offense to his monastic superior and forfeiting his support. His decision was soon made and erelong he was enrolled as a students at Wit
tenberg.On returning to Denmark, he again repaired to his cloister. No one as yet suspected him of Lutheranism; he did not reveal his secret, but endeavored, without exciting the prejudices of his companions, to lead them to a purer faith and a holier life. He opened the Bible, and explained its true meaning, and at last preached Christ to them as the sinners righteousn ess and his only hope of salvation. Great was the wrath of the prior, who had built high hopes upon him as a valiant
defender of Rome. He was at once removed from his own monastery to another and confined to his cell under strict supervision.To the terror of his new guardians several of the monks soon declared themselves converts to Protestantism. Through te bars of his cell Tausen had communicated to his companions a knowledge of the truth. Had those Danish fathers been skilled in the church s plan of dealing with heresy, Tausens voice would never again have been heard; but instead of consigning him to a tomb in some underground dungeon, they expelled him from the monastery. Now they were powerless. A royal edict, just issued, offered pr otection to the teachers of the new doctrine. Tausen began to preach. The churches were opened to him, and the people tronged to listen. Others also were preaching the word of God. The New Testament, translated int
o the Danish tongue, was widely ci rculated. The efforts made by the papists to overthrow the work resulted in extending it, and erelong Denmark declared its acceptance of the reformed faith.
Danish EncyclopediaTausen, Hans (1494-1561), da reformator. Han stammer rimeligvis fra fyn sk lavadelsslægt, blev optaget I Johannitterordenen I Antvorskov og lærte på studierejser til Tyskland lutherdommen at kende. Stærkt optaget af de nye ideer vendte han hjem ca. 1525 og sendtes til ordensklostret I Viborg for der at komme på bedre t anker. Her fik han imidlertid lov at prædike I klosterkirken, og der dannedes hurtigt en evangelisk menighed om ham; da ornenen blev betænkelig, brød han ud, tog
bolig I borgmesterens hus og prædikede under åben himmel, siden I grå brødrekirken.H an indførte også dansk salmesang. Kong Frederik I tog ham under sin personlige beskyttelse og gjorde ham til sin kapellan, hvorved han var sikker mod det katolke bisperpartis uvilje, der undertiden tog særdeles håndfaste forme. Han polemiserede I denne tid livligt mod katolikkerne, ordinerede præster og gifteded sig. 1529 kaldtes Tausen af kongen til præst ved St. Nikolaj kirke in København hvor der nu holdtes evangeliske gudstjeneste. På herredagen I Kbh 1530 fremlagdes de
43 kbh.ske arti kler som en evangelisk bekendelse. I hvis affattelse Tausen havde betydelig andel. Den kongeløse tid efter 1533 var ret farlig for Tausen, men han blev dog I København. Mod at love biskoppen lydighed og afholde sig fra personlie angreb. På denne ti d udarbejdede han en oversættelse af de 5 Mosebøger(Genesis, Deut, Numbers etc) og sin kirke pastille. Efter reformationens indførelse blev han læsemester I hebraisk ved universitetet, da han ikke foreløbig kunne undværes I København 1542 blev han bi skop I Ribe og virkede her med stor nidkærhed for refromationens
praktiske gennemførelse. Han er Danmarks førende reformator, ikke just I kraft at sin orginalitet, men af sin personlig djærvhed og klarhed.
