Abstract

Set within the biblical narrative of Sarah and Abraham is the figure of Hagar – Sarah’s slave. The significance of Hagar is often overlooked. This article re-examines her story and identifies her own matriarchal status as an intelligent and resourceful woman of faith. Noting that God and Hagar knew each other by name, the author (an experienced hospital chaplain) demonstrates how Hagar’s experience can help both clinicians and patients in a mental health environment. Hagar is a model of transcendence – living above the circumstances that hinder our abilities to flourish.

给上帝取名的女人:在精神病院里遇到夏甲
在《圣经》关于撒拉和亚伯拉罕的叙述中,有一个夏甲的形象--撒拉的奴隶。夏甲的重要性常常被忽视。这篇文章重新审视了夏甲的故事,确定了她作为一位聪明机智的信仰女性的母权地位。作者(一位经验丰富的医院牧师)指出,上帝和夏甲彼此知道对方的名字,并展示了夏甲的经历如何能够帮助心理健康环境中的临床医生和病人。夏甲是超越自我的典范--她的生活超越了阻碍我们蓬勃发展的环境。
