The aim of this paper is to establish a series of links between some of the main religious formulas that arise in Judaism and Christianism and the romantic and confluent love characteristic of modern societies. To carry it out, firstly, we analyze love in historical Judaism, reflecting on the Ahavah formula, the predominant formula in this religious context. Secondly, to study the Christian drift of love, we first analyze how the emergence of this new religious faith (Christianism) provokes a change in the Jewish way of understanding it (love). Subsequently, we analyze some of the three main formulas in which love materializes in Christianism: Agape, Caritas, and Amor Sui. Regarding modern love, we first carry out a contextualization focused on the processes of secularization and individualization, and their impact on it. Afterwards, we present the main features that define both romantic and confluent love, and finally, we analyze the Judeo-Christian characters inherited for such types of love. The methodology used focused on a literature review and theoretical reflection based on this review. The research carried out allows us to establish sociological continuities between Judeo-Christian religious love and modern secular love in the terms used throughout the paper.
本文的目的是在犹太教和基督教中出现的一些主要宗教公式与现代社会特有的浪漫和融合之爱之间建立一系列联系。为此,我们首先分析了历史上犹太教中的爱情,反思了这一宗教背景下的主要公式--"阿哈瓦"(Ahavah)公式。其次,为了研究基督教对爱的偏离,我们首先分析这种新宗教信仰(基督教)的出现如何引起犹太人对爱(理解)方式的改变。随后,我们分析了基督教将爱具体化的三个主要公式:Agape、Caritas 和 Amor Sui。关于现代之爱,我们首先对世俗化和个性化进程及其影响进行了背景分析。随后,我们介绍了浪漫爱情和同居爱情的主要特征,最后,我们分析了这类爱情所继承的犹太教-基督教特征。我们采用的方法主要是文献综述和在此基础上的理论思考。通过所开展的研究,我们得以在犹太教-基督教宗教爱情与现代世俗爱情之间建立起社会学上的连续性。

The burgeoning field of public theology has garnered significant scholarly attention. Amidst its multifaceted discussions, a recurring theme asserts that theology plays a vital and irreplaceable role in public discourse. This perspective contends that engaging with matters of public concern from a theological standpoint not only contributes meaningfully to public discourse but also shapes our understanding of the world, human existence, and the divine. Within the African context, particularly in South Africa, gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing societal issue despite government and organizational efforts. This article delves into the potential role of pastors as public figures in addressing the persistent challenge of GBV. It explores the implications of pastors assuming public roles within an African context and how this engagement can be instrumental in combating GBV. By drawing on literature related to public practical theology, pastoral care, and GBV in South Africa, the article advocates for proactive public interventions by pastoral ministries. Through synthesizing insights from existing scholarship, it contributes to ongoing discussions at the intersection of theology, pastoral practice, and societal issues, with a specific focus on addressing GBV in the unique South African context.
蓬勃发展的公共神学领域引起了学术界的极大关注。在其多层面的讨论中,一个反复出现的主题是神学在公共话语中发挥着不可替代的重要作用。这种观点认为,从神学的角度来处理公众关注的问题,不仅能为公共话语做出有意义的贡献,还能塑造我们对世界、人类生存和神的理解。在非洲,尤其是南非,尽管政府和组织做出了努力,但基于性别的暴力(GBV)仍然是一个紧迫的社会问题。本文深入探讨了牧师作为公众人物在应对性别暴力这一长期挑战方面的潜在作用。文章探讨了牧师在非洲背景下承担公众角色的意义,以及这种参与如何有助于打击基于性别的暴力。文章借鉴了与南非公共实践神学、牧养关怀和性别暴力相关的文献,倡导牧养事工积极主动地进行公共干预。通过综合现有学术研究的见解,文章对神学、教牧实践和社会问题交叉点的持续讨论做出了贡献,并特别关注在独特的南非背景下解决性别暴力问题。

Developing Christ as Consolatory Example in the Christ Encomium 在 "基督启示录 "中将基督塑造成安慰人的榜样

While Paul Holloway’s scholarship on Philippians has been important, his classification of Philippians as a letter of consolation has gained relatively little traction. Interestingly, however, Holloway follows Karl Barth in labelling a large section of the letter, Phil 1:27–2:16, a ‘hortatory digression’, which could be seen to diminish the extent of consolation in this part of the letter. In this article, I seek to develop Holloway’s work to argue that the Christ encomium in Phil 2:6–11 has elements of consolatory discourse that relates to other parts of the letter. Phil 2:6–11 illustrates and exemplifies how comfort (παράκλησις), consolation (παραμύθιον), and joy (χαρά) can be derived by individuals and communities in the face of opposition or destitution (cf. Phil 1:27–2:4). I propose that Christ undergoes a form of voluntary desolation in 2:6–8 but then receives something different from consolation in his glorious exaltation and the bestowal of the divine name. Although Paul and the Philippians will not receive universal worship like Christ, they can imitate him by following in this trajectory of becoming like God, thus receiving divine consolation and transformation.
虽然保罗-霍洛韦(Paul Holloway)对腓立比书的研究非常重要,但他将腓立比书归类为劝慰书的研究却相对较少。但有趣的是,霍洛韦追随卡尔-巴特(Karl Barth),将书信的一大部分,即腓1:27-2:16,称为 "劝勉性离题"(hortatory digression),这可以被视为削弱了这部分书信中安慰的程度。在本文中,我试图发展霍洛韦的研究,论证腓2:6-11中对基督的赞美具有安慰性话语的要素,与书信的其他部分有关。腓 2:6-11说明并例证了个人和群体在面对反对或贫困时如何获得安慰(παράκλησις)、安慰(παραμύθιον)和喜乐(χαρά)(参见腓 1:27-2:4)。我认为,基督在 2:6-8 中经历了某种形式的自愿荒凉,但随后在他荣耀的升华和神名的赐予中得到了不同于安慰的东西。虽然保罗和腓立比人不会像基督那样接受普遍的敬拜,但他们可以效仿基督,沿着这条轨迹成为像神一样的人,从而接受神圣的安慰和改变。

Doing the Word: Reawakening the Church to Save Society in Southern Africa 践行圣言:唤醒教会拯救南部非洲社会

Southern African societies are presently beleaguered by manifold socio-economic, political, and environmental challenges. Ordinary people long for answers to questions about how to mitigate these challenges. Meanwhile, the Church mostly preaches the gospel and establishes and grows denominations across the world. Proclaiming the gospel in word is good; however, without demonstrating the gospel with transformational deeds, the Church remains Salvationist and partially missionary. Bearing in mind that the integral mission of the Church is advancing the gospel holistically, fractional mindfulness of the gospel, hearing the words without performing the corresponding deeds, is defacing its identity. Today, this situation is problematic and helpless, as society is in dire need of a wholesome Church that acts in accordance with its own faith and values and attends to the soul, the body, and all other facets of life. Much has been published about the integral mission of the Church, though little has been said about its role in social action. By qualitatively reviewing the literature and observing the Southern African context and some biblical examples, this paper finds the integral mission to be the predominant and comprehensive purpose of the existence of the Church. While the Church could be aware of its mandate, it should be reawakened so that it becomes a doer of the Word and stands out as the salt and light of the world by contributing to addressing the needs of society.
南部非洲社会目前正受到多重社会经济、政治和环境挑战的困扰。普通人渴望得到如何缓解这些挑战的答案。与此同时,教会大多在世界各地宣讲福音,建立和发展教派。用言语宣讲福音固然是好的,但是,如果不以变革性的行动来展示福音,教会就仍然是救世主,只是部分地在传教。考虑到教会的整体使命是全面推进福音,对福音的片面关注,只听其言而不做其行,是对教会身份的玷污。今天,这种情况是有问题的,也是无奈的,因为社会迫切需要一个健康的教会,按照自己的信仰和价值观行事,关注灵魂、身体和生活的其他方面。关于教会的整体使命已经发表了很多文章,但对教会在社会行动中的作用却鲜有论述。通过对文献进行定性审查,并观察南部非洲的背景和圣经中的一些例子,本文发现整体使命是教会存在的主要和全面的目的。虽然教会可以意识到自己的使命,但它应该被唤醒,从而成为圣言的践行者,并通过为满足社会需求做出贡献而成为世界的光与盐。

The Dead in Vernacular Magic Practices among Bosniaks 波什尼亚克族乡土魔法习俗中的死者

Based on fieldwork research among the Bosniak (Muslim) population in rural areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this article starts with the technique of summoning the dead, aimed at obtaining information about missing goods. It argues that the practice of summoning the dead, like practices aimed at magically harming others, is based on the same moral rules that govern everyday relations between the living and the dead. While these rules are generally followed and observed in everyday life, they can also be deliberately inverted to one’s own advantage or to the disadvantage of others. Ultimately, I argue that the dead prove to be moral agents who act when moral norms are violated.
本文基于对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那农村地区波什尼亚克族(穆斯林)人口的实地调查研究,从召唤死者的技巧入手,旨在获取有关遗失物品的信息。文章认为,召唤亡灵的做法与以魔法伤害他人为目的的做法一样,都是以规范活人与亡灵之间日常关系的道德规则为基础的。虽然这些规则在日常生活中得到了普遍的遵循和遵守,但它们也可能被故意颠倒,从而对自己有利或对他人不利。归根结底,我认为,事实证明死者也是道德主体,他们会在道德准则遭到违反时采取行动。

Journeys without End: Narrative Endings and Implied Readers in Acts of the Apostles and Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius of Tyana 没有尽头的旅行:使徒行传》和菲罗斯克拉图斯的《提亚那的阿波罗尼乌斯传》中的叙事结尾和隐含读者

This contribution compares the final sections of Acts of the Apostles and Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius of Tyana. Through this comparison, I aim to show that these two writings resemble one another in their attention to travel as a literary theme. Both Acts and Life employ this theme to communicate their message and, in their narrative endings, set up their implied readers as travelers who are meant to continue the journeys of the protagonists in these writings. At the same time, Acts and Life differ in how exactly they envision their readers to continue the journeys of their protagonists. I will argue that these similarities and differences can be explained by the shared social and intellectual climate that Acts and Life inhabit: both writings result from discourses on travel and self that were rife among intellectuals in the Roman Empire in the first three centuries of our era, irrespective of their ethnic, legal, or cultural affiliations.
这篇论文比较了《使徒行传》的最后部分和 Philostratus 的《提亚那的阿波罗尼乌斯传》。通过比较,我旨在说明这两部著作在关注旅行这一文学主题方面非常相似。使徒行传》和《阿波罗尼乌斯的生平》都运用了这一主题来传达信息,并在叙事的结尾处将隐含的读者设定为旅行者,让他们继续这些作品中主人公的旅程。同时,《使徒行传》和《人生》在设想读者如何继续主人公的旅程方面也有所不同。我将论证,《使徒行传》和《人生》所处的共同社会和思想氛围可以解释这些异同:两部作品都源于关于旅行和自我的论述,这种论述在我们这个时代前三个世纪的罗马帝国知识分子中盛行,无论他们的种族、法律或文化归属如何。

The Preacher as Artist: An Exploration of Sermon Creation as Art-Making 作为艺术家的传道者将布道创作视为艺术创作的探索
IF 0.8 3区 哲学 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-05-14 DOI: 10.3390/rel15050604

Preaching is one of the most creative things a pastor does. This essay explores how a theology of creativity, the imagination, and the arts can encourage preachers to embrace proclamation as creative work. The invitation to preachers to engage their creativity and imagination in preaching rests on the theological claim that creativity is intrinsic to human beings as made in the image of God the Creator. To create is to realize a core human vocation and to deepen knowledge of God. The imagination is a primary avenue to such knowledge, since the imagination is a faculty that allows for a holistic grasp of realities both seen and unseen. An artistic approach to preaching is appropriate in that art functions in similar ways to preaching: like preaching, art explores the depths of human existence, creates wholes out of fragments, and makes connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. The dispositions of the artist are vital for preachers, especially the courage and risk-taking required in art-making as a venture into the unknown. These functions of art and qualities of the artist lead to reflections concerning the particular challenges involved in being a Christian artist, and to the role of beauty in the knowledge of God and hence in preaching.
讲道是牧师最有创造性的工作之一。本文探讨了创造力、想象力和艺术神学如何鼓励传道人将讲道作为创造性的工作。邀请传道人在布道中发挥他们的创造力和想象力,是基于这样一种神学主张,即创造力是人类按照造物主上帝的形象创造出来的内在本质。创造是为了实现人类的核心使命,加深对上帝的认识。想象力是通往这种知识的主要途径,因为想象力是一种能力,可以全面把握看得见和看不见的现实。以艺术的方式传道是恰当的,因为艺术的功能与传道相似:与传道一样,艺术探索人类存在的深处,从碎片中创造整体,并将看似不同的现象联系起来。艺术家的特质对传道者至关重要,尤其是艺术创作作为对未知世界的探索所需要的勇气和冒险精神。这些艺术的功能和艺术家的品质引发了对基督教艺术家所面临的特殊挑战的思考,以及对美在认识上帝和传道中的作用的思考。

On the Foundation Period of the Maronite Tradition 论马龙派传统的奠基时期

The Maronite Church states that it is an Antiochene and Syriac Church. This article traces, in chronological and discursive fashion, the emergence of the Maronite tradition. It explores the life and significance of St Maroun (d. ca AD 418–23), giving consideration to thinkers who helped to understand his outlook and methods and assessing what we know of the St Maroun monastery (Dayr Mar Maroun) and its vicissitudes down to the sixth century. The piece then treats Maronites in the context of the seventh-century monothelite controversy, following their foundational developments up to the time of their first patriarch Yohanna Maroun (flor. 680s). The paper considers not only the ascetic and monastic currents in the early Maronite community but also touches on the influence of Syriac typology and its gradual displacement by analytic and dogmatic theology.
马龙派教会宣称自己是安提阿派和叙利亚派教会。本文按时间顺序和论述方式追溯了马龙派传统的兴起。文章探讨了圣马龙(卒于约公元 418-23 年)的生平和意义,考虑了有助于理解其观点和方法的思想家,并评估了我们对圣马龙修道院(Dayr Mar Maroun)及其直至六世纪的沧桑变化的了解。然后,文章在七世纪一神教争论的背景下讨论马龙派,追溯他们的基础发展,直至他们的第一位元老约哈纳-马龙(Yohanna Maroun,约 680 年代)时期。本文不仅探讨了早期马龙派教徒中的禁欲主义和修道潮流,还涉及叙利亚类型学的影响及其逐渐被分析和教条神学所取代的情况。

The paper considers not only the ascetic and monastic currents in the early Maronite community but also touches on the influence of Syriac typology and its gradual displacement by analytic and dogmatic theology.","PeriodicalId":38169,"journal":{"name":"Religions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140982605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article contextualizes the meaning of nāmamātra in the Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkārabhāṣya and explores the history of modifications of this term in the Yogācāra literature. The term already exists in the pre-Yogācāra literature, such as the Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā and the Bhavasaṃkrāntisūtra, where it means name only. The chapter Bodhisattvabhūmi of the Yogācārabhūmi applies this meaning and explains how to interpret it to understand the true nature of the contemplative object; that is, what is named is nothing but a name, and what exists is the inexpressible thing (vastu). When people lack this understanding and regard for the expressed object as existent, they suffer subsequent afflictions and suffering. A similar but slightly modified explanation is also found in the Madhyāntavibhāgabhāṣya, where the author states that a single object has two intrinsic characteristics (svalakṣaṇas), the conventional and the ultimate, and that the former is expressed by a mere name and is non-existent, while the latter is ineffable and existent. However, the Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkārabhāṣya and Sthiramati’s commentary on it, the *Sūtrālaṃkāravṛttibhāṣya, insert another meaning of nāmamātra: there are only mental factors. They also describe two contemplation phases, whereby practitioners should first understand the non-existence of the expressed object before recollecting the term nāmarūpa in the context of the five constituents (pañcaskandha) and concluding that material and physical factors (rūpa) do not exist; rather, only the mental factors do (nāmamātra). Finally, this second meaning of nāmamātra should be further contemplated, and the mere mental factors should also be regarded as ultimately non-existent because the external objects causing them were already considered non-existent. This examination of various Yogācāra explanations of nāmamātra sheds light on the multiple phases of modifications of Buddhist terms that occurred in the Yogācāra literature during the systematization of Yogācāra contemplation.
本文从上下文的角度阐述了《大毗婆沙论》中 "无量寿"(nāmamātra)的含义,并探讨了该术语在《瑜伽师地论》(Yogācāra)文献中的修改历史。这个词在瑜伽行派之前的文献中就已经存在,如《阿含经》(Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā)和《毗婆沙论》(Bhavasaṃkrāntisūtra),在这些文献中,它仅指名称。瑜伽师地论》中的《菩萨行》一章应用了这一含义,并解释了如何通过解释它来理解思辨对象的真正本质;也就是说,所命名的不过是一个名称,而存在的则是无法表达的事物(vastu)。如果人们缺乏这种理解,不把所表达的对象视为存在物,就会遭受随之而来的痛苦和折磨。在《偈颂》中也有类似但略有改动的解释,作者指出一个物体有两个内在特征(svalakṣaṇas),即常规特征和终极特征,前者仅用名称表达,是不存在的,而后者是不可言说的,是存在的。然而,《大毗婆沙论》和 Sthiramati 对它的注释《*Sūtrālaṃkārabhāṣya》插入了 nāmamātra 的另一个含义:只有精神因素。他们还描述了两个思辨阶段,修行者应该首先理解所表达的对象的不存在,然后在五种成分(pañcaskandha)的背景下重新忆起 nāmarūpa,并得出结论:物质和物理因素(rūpa)不存在;相反,只有精神因素存在(nāmamātra)。最后,应该进一步思考 nāmamātra 的第二层含义,单纯的精神因素也应被视为最终不存在,因为导致这些因素的外在物体已经被认为是不存在的。通过对瑜伽行派对 "无相 "的各种解释的研究,我们可以了解到在瑜伽行派思辨系统化的过程中,瑜伽行派文献对佛教术语进行了多个阶段的修改。

Understanding “Love” in the English Lyrics of the Original Songs by the Multilingual New Creation Church Singapore 理解新加坡新创造教会多语种原创歌曲英文歌词中的 "爱
IF 0.8 3区 哲学 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-05-13 DOI: 10.3390/rel15050603

This article explores the way in which love is understood and expressed through the original English lyrics of songs by New Creation Church Singapore (NCC) in comparison to the original songs from Hillsong Church Australia (Hillsong) through the period of 2014–2020. While NCC has a multilingual congregation, reflective of the larger Singaporean society, it composes and releases original contemporary congregational songs (CCS) with English lyrics. English is the primary language in Singapore; however, it is shaped by the languages spoken in homes (e.g., Mandarin, Malay, Tamil). Combined with the theological emphases of NCC, its CCS provide a unique lens into English as a common language of worship. This article demonstrates that while the use of English lyrics is a unifying force for multilingual congregational worship, it is also not benign, but actively shaping Christian confession and associated theology and being shaped by wider multilingual contexts.
本文探讨了新加坡新开元教会(NCC)与澳大利亚希尔松教会(Hillsong)在2014-2020年间通过歌曲的英文原版歌词对爱的理解和表达方式。新加坡新创造教会的会众使用多种语言,反映了新加坡社会的大环境,但该教会创作和发行的原创当代会众歌曲(CCS)均使用英文歌词。英语是新加坡的主要语言,但也受到家庭语言(如普通话、马来语、泰米尔语)的影响。结合新加坡基督教会的神学重点,它的中文诗歌提供了一个独特的视角,让我们了解英语作为敬拜的通用语言。本文说明,虽然使用英文歌词是多语言会众崇拜的一种统一力量,但它也不是无害的,而是在积极塑造基督教告白和相关神学,并受到更广泛的多语言环境的影响。
