Abstract

Military chaplains are involved in the moral formation of military personnel. They have to do justice to the internal perspective on morality of their religion, while honouring the plurality of perspectives. The objective of this article is to examine how the contribution of military chaplains to the moral formation of military personnel can be substantiated from a Protestant theological perspective. We first discuss Tillich’s Protestant principle, which functions as a starting point and criterion in the moral discourse. We then show how Bonhoeffer combines a view of reality inspired by faith and a serviceable attitude towards reality. Finally, we focus on the role of theology and the role of the military chaplain as theologian in the moral formation of military personnel with the ideas of Volf and Croasmun. We conclude that Protestant theological perspectives on morality are vital to the moral formation of military personnel.

从新教神学角度看军事牧师对道德形成的贡献
军事牧师参与军事人员的道德形成。他们必须在尊重多元观点的同时,公正地对待其宗教的内在道德观。本文的目的是研究如何从新教神学的角度来证实军事牧师对军事人员道德形成的贡献。我们首先讨论蒂利希的新教原则,它是道德话语的起点和标准。然后,我们展示了朋霍费尔是如何将信仰所激发的现实观和对现实的服务态度结合起来的。最后,我们以沃尔夫和克罗斯曼的思想为基础,着重探讨了神学的作用以及作为神学家的军事随军牧师在军事人员道德形成中的作用。我们得出结论,新教神学的道德观对军事人员的道德形成至关重要。
