《希伯来圣经》中的神迹与现代犹太思想

《希伯来圣经》中有很多关于神迹的描写,这些神迹被后世学者进行了不同的注解和诠释,奠定了犹太集体意识中理解神迹的基础。《希伯来圣经》中的神迹对现代犹太思想有着一定的影响,开拓出宗教文化独到的认识,推动了现代犹太哲人思想的孕育。神迹在建构犹太集体记忆中都有着举足轻重的作用,是犹太文化史的一面旗帜。     

国外马克思主义希伯来圣经研究概论

20世纪下半叶以来,马克思主义指导下的希伯来圣经研究在国外呈现出相当强劲的发展势头。研究者深入探讨希伯来圣经文本与其周边语境的关系、与意识形态的关系、与阶级的关系,亦对圣经文本予以多方面的文学剖析和审美考察。哥特瓦尔德在其《亚卫的众支派》中运用唯物史观对希伯来圣经做出独到而精辟的论析,罗兰·博尔被公认为该领域年富力强的后起之秀。这批学者擅长运用生产方式、经济基础、上层建筑、阶级斗争、意识形态、异化、劳动价值等马克思主义的关键性术语,重构以亚卫宗教为核心的古代以色列社会历史,促成了希伯来圣经研究的范式转型。他们必将取得更辉煌的成就,对当代学术发生更深广的影响力。     

《圣经》与中国文化

《圣经》是一个意义充满的文学宝库。《圣经》是一个思想反省的神圣资源。《圣经》是一部基督教在中国的发展史。《圣经》是全球化与本土文明的双向沟通的中介。     

《古新圣经》考

现存最早最完整的《圣经》汉译本是贺清泰《古新圣经》,而且它也是最早的汉语官话《圣经》译本.这部几近完整的《圣经》对今天的《思高圣经》产生了不可忽略的影响.笔者对该文本做一初步探究,从藏本以及文本内容方面入手,日后有待更深层的研究.     

论希伯来圣经中的“X-■”结构

"X-■"结构,是希伯来圣经中的一个固定短语结构,它由■,即"女儿"(daugh-ter)一词与其它名词(多为专有名词)或复合名词叠加而构成。对于这一希伯文短语的语法分析,学界的观点从最初的"从属关系",到"同位结构关系",再到"性质描述关系",前后历经了三个主要阶段。从而,不同时期、不同版本的《圣经》对该结构的翻译也存在很大差别。本文将从该希伯来文短语的语法结构着手,详细分析该短语在整个语句中的含义,试阐发其语法关系背后所体现出的文学特征及其神学内涵。     

由《圣经》内的梦识别《圣经》是怎样一部书

《圣经》是基督教的正式经典。《圣经》内有不少梦,总体可分为两类,一类是上帝直述圣言圣喻的梦,另一类是象征表述的梦。所有的梦,其目的在于昭示上帝的神圣、全知、全能和对信徒的眷顾。《圣经》内对梦也有不同认识,有经文指出,“不要相信自己所作的梦”,“信梦的人必误入迷途”。显而易见,《圣经》不是上帝的圣言圣喻或启示,《圣经》是来自人间许多一作者涉及面广阔的不同著述汇集而成的一部书。     

《圣经》选语

圣经主保,圣热罗尼莫有言:不认识圣经,就是不认识耶稣基督。曾记何时,对天主圣言--圣经的研讨、默想和分享,在大陆教会中,犹如雨后春笋般兴盛起来,这是令人欣喜的现象。修院作为教会发展的摇篮,在这方面,尤应成为教会认识圣经,认识基督的园地。因此下面所记录的一些圣经分享片段,也算是本人在这方面的一个尝试,愿与主内各位分享、共勉。     

斯坦顿与《妇女圣经》

斯坦顿为早期女权运动的先驱者之一。她不仅领导了19世纪末的妇女解放运动,而且,其著《妇女圣经》,从根源上抨击了犹太教与基督宗教传统中的父权制。她指出圣经是造成妇女从属的根本原因,同时,质疑圣经为上帝之"神圣启示与话语"。她激进的个人主义传统与女性主义理论,力透纸背,对后来的宗教、性别与妇女研究,意义深远。     

Human Conception in Antiquity: The Hebrew Bible in Context

Abstract

This article explores ideas concerning human conception as reflected in the Hebrew Bible in particular. After reviewing above all biological texts from ancient Indian, Greek and Roman sources, the various clues as to how human conception may have been understood in the ancient Hebrew context are thoroughly investigated. The notion that Aristotelian ideas of preformationism and pneuma inform the Hebrew Bible is refuted. Instead, both divine and female contributions to conception appear to be more prominent.     

我国当代医药文化的伦理精神及其建构

当代医药文化是科技、经济与人文一体的复杂系统,其伦理精神应当集焦点于人,以实现医药科技为人的基本价值和目的;伦理精神是医药文化内在制度的核心,医药行业的良好秩序依赖于伦理精神及基于它的合理制度。在“现代性”的背景下,面临被“解构”的医药文化伦理精神建构更应侧重伦理的规范化和制度化,制度与德性共行,共同促进我国当代医药文化伦理精神的建构。     

浅谈医学文化中的人文精神培养

20世纪以来,传统医学教育在指导思想上、教育理论上和实践中人文精神存在不足。这是由于长期以来我国的医学教育过分注重医学生的专业知识教育而忽视人文素质教育,专业知识与人文精神分离的结果。因此,着重从医学文化的角度去思考医学的本质和目的,探讨在医学教育中加强人文精神的培养。     

Reading the Bible in the Lutheran Tradition

Abstract: In theological and ethical discussions, Lutherans appeal to a “Lutheran hermeneutic.” The content of this hermeneutic often is assumed more than defined. When defined, often a theological short‐hand is employed: the Word of God, law and gospel, grace through faith alone, and the like. This article suggests a more complex context for Lutherans reading the Bible and engaging in hermeneutics. There are “orientational dimensions” which create an environment for this biblical exegesis, interpretation, and proclamation. Noticing these orientational dimensions can deepen our understanding of the Lutheran tradition and also its ecumenical rootage.     

The Mission of the Church in the Contemporary World in Light of the Decisions of the Holy and Great Council

This article discusses the place of mission in the Orthodox Church. The document “The Mission of the Orthodox Church in Today's World,” which was approved by the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church held in Crete in 2016, is still in the process of reception, as are the other documents, but it constitutes, without doubt, a new era in Orthodox missiology – as indeed the Great and Holy Council in Crete represents a new era in Orthodoxy. The interrelatedness of unity and mission is not a question of methodology or strategy. It is an ontological one: it is related to the very essence of koinonia as fellowship in the triune God, and to the specific aspect of κοινονια as participation in God's economy in and for the world. Mission is commitment to the work of the triune God incarnated in Jesus Christ. Both are God’s gift and command. It is only in unity with the Holy Trinity that the church is able to fulfil its vocation.     

The Holy Spirit in Mission

God initiated mission and intends to achieve it by work of the Holy Spirit. Thus, mission—which God commands his church to accomplish—belongs to God, not to human agency. Prior to ascending to heaven, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to his disciples, and asked them to wait in Jerusalem. This Holy Spirit is given to enable them to be witnesses of Jesus from Jerusalem to the end of the world. This implies that the church has to partner with the Holy Spirit to fulfil this mission. Missionaries need to consciously work together with Spirit and be directed and guided by the Spirit.     

Understanding the Controversy over Gender Language in Bible Translation

Abstract

This article attempts to explain the language issues behind the current controversy over gender inclusive translations of the Bible. Specifically, it focuses on changes in modern English whereby “a growing segment of the population [i.e., women] no longer can sense being addressed by a text that uses supposedly 'generic' masculine language to refer to them.” The reason, according to this author, is that in English “the masculine grammatical gender has largely shifted into a function that exclusively designates males.” Since the Christian Church believes that the Bible, as the Word of God, is the word through which God addresses his people, a translation that employs generic masculine language no longer satisfies the needs of all believers “to feel addressed by God's voice in the text” that is read and heard.
