Abstract Evagrius of Pontus (345–399 AD) presents in his spiritual doctrine the concept of “pure prayer,” that is, prayer not only devoid of any contact with material things but also divorced from any concrete image in the νοῦς (i. e., the mind/intellect). Upon reaching this state of deep purification, the νοῦς sees during such a prayer the light of God and also perceives himself as radiant. Evagrius specifies that the νοῦς sees itself in the colour of the sapphire or in sky-blue, or even as a star. Scholars have been asking for a long time whether, for Evagrius, this light originated within the mind itself, or came from God. It seems that monk of Pontus joins these two lights together, although considering them always as separate. The light of νοῦς itself is but a reflection of the divine light, in the same way like the moon reflects the light of the sun. Even if the νοῦς is not the source of its own light, nevertheless its light is real. In a time of deep spiritual union with God, His light illuminates the human νοῦς and turns it into radiance.
摘要本都的Evagrius(公元345-399)在他的精神教义中提出了“纯粹祈祷”的概念，即祈祷不仅没有任何与物质的接触，而且也脱离了νο ο ς(即心灵/智力)中的任何具体形象。在达到这种深度净化的状态时，νο ο ς在这样的祈祷中看到了上帝的光，也觉得自己是光芒四射的。Evagrius指出νο ο ς看到自己是蓝宝石或天蓝色的，甚至是一颗星星。学者们长期以来一直在问，对于埃夫格里乌斯来说，这种光是来自心灵本身，还是来自上帝。似乎本都的和尚把这两盏灯结合在一起，尽管他一直认为它们是分开的。νο ο ς的光本身不过是神的光的反射，就像月亮反射太阳的光一样。即使νο ο ς不是它自己的光源，然而它的光是真实的。在与上帝精神上的深度结合中，他的光照亮了人类νο ο ς，并将其变成光辉。

Abstract The letter to the Philippians is a work traditionally ascribed to the early Christian martyr Polycarp of Smyrna. The scholarly discussions surrounding the Polycarpian letter have concerned themselves with the question of the authenticity and unity of the text. In contrast, the present study aims at providing the first unifying account of the three major themes dealt with in the letter: sin, heresy and righteousness. In the Polycarpian letter, one encounters evidence of a way of conceiving of social and religious evil, in which objects of moral and doctrinal concern are judged equally regarding their disruptive force – particularly in relation to the longed-for uniformity of the Church. This way of blurring the distinction between different socially disruptive dogmas (“proto-heresies”) and habits (“proto-sins”) may be conceived of as characteristic of a pre-normative religious order.

Abstract In this paper, I respond to a recent article published in the Journal of Theological Studies , in which Matthijs den Dulk challenged a prevailing idea that Origen of Alexandria was a proponent of human dignity. Den Dulk takes a different approach by drawing attention to the language of race and ethnicity Origen used to contrast Christianity with other racial groups. Den Dulk argues that, rather than being a champion of human dignity, Origen provided a basis from which modern racist discourse emerged. I will count den Dulk’s argument and demonstrate 1.) how den Dulk fails to take into proper account the theological dimensions of Origen’s thought in the passages den Dulk selected to make his argument; and 2.) that Origen’s complementary notions of the human being created in the image of God and human freedom provide a framework from which we can develop a theology of human dignity in response to modern racist discourses.
在本文中，我回应了最近发表在《神学研究杂志》上的一篇文章，在这篇文章中，Matthijs den Dulk挑战了一种流行的观点，即亚历山大的奥利金是人类尊严的支持者。Den Dulk采用了一种不同的方法，他将人们的注意力吸引到奥利金用来将基督教与其他种族群体进行对比的种族和民族语言上。Den Dulk认为，奥利金不是人类尊严的捍卫者，而是为现代种族主义话语的出现提供了基础。我将列举登杜尔克的论点并论证1)登杜尔克是如何在登杜尔克选择的段落中没有适当考虑到奥利金思想的神学维度的;2)奥利金关于人类是按照上帝的形象和人类自由创造的互补概念，为我们提供了一个框架，从中我们可以发展出一种关于人类尊严的神学，以回应现代种族主义话语。
