古《灵宝经》的服五芽与五行之数北大核心SSCI

服五芽,即服食五方真气或生气。五芽,也称“五牙”,《黄帝内景经·常念章第二十二》“存漱五牙不饥渴”,梁丘子注：“《灵宝》有服御五牙之法。五牙者,五行之生气,以配五脏元精。”梁丘子,即唐代白履忠。他认为服食五芽出于《灵宝经》。     

论古灵宝经对佛教“劫”的观念的吸收和改造——以《灵宝五篇真文》与“劫运”的关系为中心

古灵宝经借鉴佛教"劫"的观念并创立了"劫运"学说。"劫"的观念本身属于印度佛教宇宙论最典型的表现形态。近年有研究者提出古灵宝经"劫运"学说实际上否定了其《灵宝五篇真文》作为宇宙本源的性质。将古灵宝经相关论述置于佛道两种根本不同的宇宙论中来考察,可以发现古灵宝经对佛教"劫"的观念并非简单的模仿或全盘吸收,而是以道教宇宙论为基础对其做了具有关键意义的取舍和改造。因而其"劫运"学说恰恰是对《灵宝五篇真文》宇宙论意义的极大丰富和拓展。弄清古灵宝经"劫运"学说的真正含义及其本质,对于我们完整而准确地理解古灵宝经一系列根本性教义思想具有十分重要的意义。     

北宋医理进展及渊源考述:以五脏辨证体系为线索

张仲景时期五脏证治概念界定边缘清晰,又能化整为零,分散于各具体证治。之后经六朝隋唐,杂病领域的积累致使内部有重新整合的刚性需求。而承载多层五脏辨证新说的七篇《大论》的出现切合发展时机。进入北宋之后,七篇《大论》没有立刻产生影响,直至仁宗时,由于国家校正医书局整理刊刻新《素问》才流行开来。随之而来,医家不断发挥新说。标志当时学术高度的是钱乙的《小儿药证直诀》,书中将化博为约、重新审察旧说、注重五脏辨证等北宋医学之新象发挥得淋漓尽致。北宋医理的突出进展,是发生于五脏辨证的学术脉络之下。     

Reading Preferences for Counseling and Values: A Sample of the ASERVIC Membership

This article presents the results of an ASERVIC (Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling) membership survey included as an insert (Maples, 1997) in the newsletter Interaction in the spring of 1998, requesting information related to topic preferences for the organization's journal Counseling and Values. The project had 4 goals: (a) to determine what topics a sample of the ASERVIC membership wants to read about in Counseling and Values, (b) to determine what topics Counseling and Values is currently publishing, (c) to determine the extent to which the articles being published are satisfying the preferences of the membership sample, and (d) to determine to what extent the articles being published in Counseling and Values have changed since the organization's name change in 1993.

Making Space for a Dialogical Notion of Religious Subjects: A Critical Discussion From the Perspective of Postsecularity and Religious Change in the West

In this article I address some topical themes from the ongoing discussion on contemporary religious change in the West and how it poses conceptual challenges to the study of religion. The academic discussion on religious change is vast and my observations are, of course, by necessity limited to my particular interest and argument in this article. On the one hand, I draw on some of the literature that has evolved within and around the concept of postsecularity and, on the other, on more general literature on contemporary religious change. Based on some selected observations, I underline the need to critically rethink how we conceptualize both religion and religious subjects. In my view, current research fosters a greater attentiveness of complexity with regard to religion, but simultaneously it requires us to take seriously a dialogical notion of religious subjects that provides a conceptual account of a subject constituted by being located within and emerging through ongoing social process. This dialogical notion provides a better tool for how current social and cultural reconfigurations of religion are simultaneously played out as a diversity of identities that challenge received categories, such as the religious and the secular.     

何以为神：明清岭南巫医社会形象探究

明清时期岭南巫鬼之风颇盛,巫医活跃在百姓的日常生活中。出于维护社会稳定的考虑,明清朝廷将巫医视为荒诞不经的惑众者,并对其进行严厉打压。于是,在官方的有意塑造下,巫医呈现出了一种自私自利的“黑暗”形象。然而,抛去官府的外衣后,文人笔下的巫医则越来越“常态化”,且巫医的社会身份也在一定程度上得到了地方文士的认同。而在民间百姓的生活中,巫医又扮演着“社会治愈者”的角色,并逐渐被塑造为地方神灵。巫医“化身为神”这种现象的背后,正是其在地方社会得到认可的重要体现。

     

In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit: A Critical Reflection on the Trinitarian Theologies of Religion of S. Mark Heim and Gavin D'Costa

Abstract:  S. Mark Heim and Gavin D'Costa are two significant contemporary authors grounding a theology of religions in the doctrine of the Trinity. This article critically examines their respective interpretations of the doctrine of the Trinity, and their deployment of this doctrine in appreciation of religious difference. Heim, in his attempt to provide a theological validation for the world religions, departs from more traditional formulations of the Trinity. Ironically, this departure means that he fails to describe the world religions in their own particularity, that is, as they would describe themselves. D'Costa, by contrast, maintains a sound trinitarian position, and raises the question of Christian responsibility toward the world religions from precisely this theological grounding. He does not conceptualize the religions within a theological framework, but does demonstrate that engagement with the religions constitutes an obedient ecclesial response to the Trinity.     

Tempo and Temperament: A Music Lesson on the Significance of Time for the Art of Pastoral Care

This article will focus on the relationship between tempo and temperament and the power of music to facilitate healing, especially for individuals who struggle with temperament or mood disorders, by examining briefly how individuals diagnosed with depression may be helped by listening to or performing music as a form of treatment. Current research into the “science” of music is providing concrete evidence for the reality that musicians and music therapists have long intuited to be true–music does have the capacity to facilitate healing by influencing brain activity and altering moods (Cambell and Doman 2011; Levitin 2007, 2008; Mannes 2011; Powell 2010; Pruyser 1983; Rose 2004). Insofar as music is an integral part of most worship traditions, it provides a common ground for conversation that may seem more natural and less formidable to ministers and lay people alike than the structures of conventional counseling or care-giving relationships, especially for those who have a tendency to be suspicious of all things psychological.
