中国现代的基督徒是如何读圣经的--以吴雷川与赵紫宸处理《圣经》的原则与方法为例

中国文化的古老历史和宗教的多元化决定了他们面对的是一个“多元宗教经典”构成的世界,不同时代的社会处境也对他们的信仰提出了各种挑战,会创造怎样一种阅读圣经的方法,用来诠释基督教经典并确立自己的身份意识。本文选取吴雷川与赵紫宸为个案的研究对象,以他们读《圣经》的原则与方法为例,考察中国现代基督徒知识分子是如何看待和阐释经文,试图以此为亚洲处境下的圣经诠释学提供研究的一个范本。     

后殖民圣经批评的基本主题

20世纪90年代以来,后殖民理论指导下的圣经批评在国际学术界取得了引人瞩目的成就。本文归纳出该领域研究的5个基本主题:探讨后殖民圣经批评理论;揭露殖民者圣经阐释与殖民主义的共谋关系;透视古今帝国与圣经正典生成及阐释的关系;谋求边缘话语的主体性地位;聚焦于对待帝国的态度,重新评价圣经卷籍。同时联系具体研究成果,对以上主题的内涵做出深入辨析。     

弥赛亚观念考论

本文以《旧约》、古代后期犹太文献和《新约》为研究对象,考察了弥赛亚观念衍变的脉络和特征,对不同时期的现世首领式弥赛亚、理想君王式弥赛亚、末世救主式弥赛亚、政治首领和军事统帅式弥赛亚,以及耶稣和保罗的弥赛亚观念做出多方面的辨析。认为耶稣承袭古犹太传统而自命为弥赛亚,但摒弃以往观念中的犹太民族主义倾向和政治性、世俗性、功利性动机,而大力张扬了普世主义和绝对宗教精神。保罗的弥赛亚观念进而致力于阐释耶稣生平(尤其受难和复活)对于超越历史和地域之普世民众的共同意义,为日后征服了整个世界的基督教奠定下重要的神学根基。     

Turning a blind eye: Meritocracy moderates the impacts of social status on corruption perception

Findings on the effect of social status on corruption perception are mixed. To make sense of the mixed results, three studies were conducted to examine whether meritocracy moderates this effect. In Study 1, we measured all variables using a questionnaire-based correlational design. In the preregistered Study 2, we adopted an experimental design in which we manipulated social status using a false feedback paradigm and measured corruption perception and meritocracy. In Study 3, we manipulated meritocracy using a scrambled sentence task and measured its effect on the relationship between social status and corruption perception. The results consistently demonstrated that meritocracy could moderate the influence of social status on corruption perception. Specifically, social status was negatively associated with corruption perception when meritocracy was weak, whereas the association was not significant when meritocracy was strong. Our results suggest that meritocracy critically affects acknowledgment of the pervasiveness of social injustice and even deters the disadvantaged from fighting against corruption.
