In 1492 Columbus “discovered” the “New World”. The discovery brought several challenges with it. One of these challenges concerns the sphere of religiosity because it introduced a theological problem, namely the question about how to deal with non-Christian “pagans” in that or those continent(s). Whereas the school of Salamanca soon developed strategies in form of treatises, as it is the example of “On the Indians”, the Protestant reformers now deserve a special examination. Martin Luther (1483-1546), who triggered the Protestant reformation, does not seem to have had much interest in the New World and the salvation of its peoples. The situation was different with Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531): although he does not seem to have had knowledge of Columbus’ discoveries, he could develop ideas on how to deal with non-Christian pagans due to his humanist background. The last ones could be applied to the “Indians” as well. John Calvin (1508-1564), on the other hand, put much emphasis on God’s revelation in Christ but, like Zwingli, he also emphasised God’s freedom with regard to the Holy Spirit. Görge K.
