Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the tension in Kierkegaard’s Christian discourses between Kierkegaard’s overt emphasis on Scriptural authority and Kierkegaard’s imaginative Scriptural use, through an analysis of the discourse series, “Thoughts That Wound from Behind—for Upbuilding.” The paper argues that Kierkegaard employs Scriptural language both imaginatively to create distanciation and directly to create confrontation, without differentiating how Scriptural authority functions in these two uses. The paper concludes that when Kierkegaard emphasizes Scriptural authority, he is really emphasizing the authority of “Christian concepts” stabilized in Christian tradition, and that he utilizes Scripture freely and imaginatively to challenge readers with those authoritative concepts.

在欺骗与权威之间:克尔凯郭尔在《为建设而从背后缠绕的思想》论述中对圣经的运用
摘要:本文通过对克尔凯郭尔的基督教话语系列《从背后受伤的思想——为了建设》的分析,探讨了克尔凯郭尔对圣经权威的公开强调与克尔凯郭尔对圣经的想象性运用之间的紧张关系。本文认为,克尔凯郭尔运用《圣经》语言既富有想象力地制造距离,又直接制造对抗,而没有区分《圣经》权威在这两种用法中的作用。本文的结论是,克尔凯郭尔在强调《圣经》的权威时,实际上是在强调那些稳定在基督教传统中的“基督教概念”的权威,他自由而富有想象力地利用《圣经》,用这些权威概念挑战读者。
