This article explores whether and how research into biological influences on gender identity can and should inform Christian ethical reflection on gender diversity and gender nonconformity. First, the current state of genetic and neuroscientific research on gender identity is surveyed. While the scientific findings are as yet preliminary, tentative, and sometimes contradictory, researchers argue that they already give grounds for thinking that many biological factors have some influence on gender identity through complex interactions with many social and environmental factors. Next, the article offers some general remarks about how natural scientific findings should—and should not—inform Christian theological and ethical reflection. Finally, three specific proposals are developed for how scientific research can and should inform Christian ethical reflection on gender identity. The article offers both a contribution to this Christian ethical reflection and a case study of how the natural sciences may be used in Christian ethics.
本文探讨了对性别认同的生物学影响的研究是否能够以及应该如何为基督教对性别多样性和性别非一致性的伦理反思提供信息。首先,本文对有关性别认同的基因和神经科学研究现状进行了调查。虽然科学研究结果还只是初步的、暂时的,有时甚至是相互矛盾的,但研究人员认为,这些研究结果已经让人有理由认为,许多生物因素通过与许多社会和环境因素的复杂互动,对性别认同产生了一定的影响。接下来,文章就自然科学发现应该--以及不应该--如何影响基督教神学和伦理思考提出了一些一般性意见。最后,文章提出了三项具体建议,说明科学研究可以而且应该如何为基督教关于性别认同的伦理反思提供信息。文章既是对基督教伦理反思的贡献,也是如何将自然科学用于基督教伦理的案例研究。

Beyond Religion: A Bonhoefferian Discussion of Ecclesial Repentance in the Aftermath of Abuse 超越宗教:邦霍夫关于虐待后教会忏悔的讨论

Abuse, when committed by spiritual authority figures, can have far-reaching consequences for church communities well after perpetrators have been removed and held accountable. In attending to survivors, a host of issues may come to light, including but not limited to, organizational complicity in abuse, institutional marginalization of the vulnerable, and the revelation that worship spaces can be traumatically triggering. The work of scholars like Michelle Panchuk, Elaine Heath, and Katharina von Kellenbach all point to the challenging reality that ecclesial repentance­ may demand dramatic changes to restore a safe environment and righteous expressions of worship that honour God's intentions for all. Glen Kinoshita's ‘ministry of reconciliation’ and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's ‘preparing the way’ and ‘religionless Christianity’ are texts that on the surface address this type of process; however, it is not clear that either scholar fully reckons with the issue of a worshipping community or space that has been so marred by abuse as to become an impediment to a survivor's participation in liturgy. In this article, I modify Bonhoeffer's work to move beyond his claims and make recommendations for further steps towards repentance.
当属灵权威人士实施虐待时,可能会对教会社区产生深远的影响,甚至在肇事者被清除并追究责任之后。在关注幸存者的过程中,一系列问题可能会暴露出来,包括但不限于组织在虐待中的共谋、机构对弱势群体的边缘化,以及揭示出敬拜空间可能会引发创伤。米歇尔-潘楚克(Michelle Panchuk)、伊莱恩-希思(Elaine Heath)和卡塔琳娜-冯-凯伦巴赫(Katharina von Kellenbach)等学者的研究都指出了一个具有挑战性的现实,即教会的悔改可能需要巨大的改变,以恢复安全的环境和敬拜的正直表达,从而尊重上帝对所有人的意图。木下格伦的 "和解的事工 "和朋霍费尔的 "预备道路 "和 "无宗教的基督教 "表面上都是针对这类过程的文本;然而,我们并不清楚这两位学者是否充分考虑到了崇拜团体或空间的问题,因为这些团体或空间已经被虐待所玷污,成为幸存者参与礼仪的障碍。在本文中,我修改了朋霍费尔的著作,超越了他的主张,并提出了进一步悔改的建议。

Race, Caste and Christian Ethics: A Decolonial Proposal 种族、种姓与基督教伦理:非殖民建议
IF 0.3 3区 哲学 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-02-21 DOI: 10.1177/09539468231213538
Anderson Jeremiah
Christian ethical imagination was always tempered by various social prejudices prevalent in local contexts. Particularly during modernity and subsequently through colonial expansion, the role of race and caste became central to the expansion of Christianity through missionary activity. A closer scrutiny of colonial missionary Christianity clearly suggests the significance of racialised worldview shaping theological and ethical paradigms. In particular contexts, such racialised imagination underpinned and gave credence to other forms of social prejudices, such as caste in South Asia. Through a post-colonial lens, I examine the role of race and caste in shaping Christian ethical frameworks and articulate the rationale for ‘decolonising’ the modern foundations of Christian ethics in pursuit of racial justice in our contemporary society.
基督教的伦理想象力总是受到当地普遍存在的各种社会偏见的影响。特别是在现代性时期以及随后的殖民扩张时期,种族和种姓的作用成为基督教通过传教活动扩张的核心。对殖民时期基督教传教活动的仔细研究清楚地表明,种族化的世界观对神学和伦理范式具有重要影响。在特定的背景下,这种种族化的想象力支撑并助长了其他形式的社会偏见,如南亚的种姓制度。通过后殖民视角,我审视了种族和种姓在塑造基督教伦理框架中的作用,并阐明了在当代社会追求种族正义的过程中对基督教伦理的现代基础进行 "非殖民化 "的理由。

Evangelical Ecotheology: How the Resurrection Entails Creation Care 福音派生态神学:复活如何带来创造关怀

Martin Jakobsen
This article advocates evangelical environmental care by grounding an ethic of nature at the centre of evangelical theology, namely, in Christ and his resurrection. As Paul points out in 1 Corinthians 15, the continuity between our earthly bodies and our resurrected bodies entails that we should take care of our bodies. Drawing on Romans 8, I argue that the same line of reasoning applies to nature: the continuity between creation and the new creation entails that we should take care of nature. Finally, I consider some objections to my argument regarding its possible eschatological consequences.
本文通过将自然伦理置于福音派神学的中心,即基督及其复活之中,倡导福音派的环境关怀。正如保罗在《哥林多前书》第 15 章中指出的,我们属世的身体与复活的身体之间的连续性要求我们爱护自己的身体。根据《罗马书》第 8 章,我认为同样的推理也适用于大自然:受造物与新造物之间的连续性意味着我们应该爱护大自然。最后,我考虑了对我的论点可能产生的末世论后果的一些反对意见。

A Critical Response to ‘Race, Caste and Christian Ethics: A Decolonial Proposal’ 对《种族、种姓与基督教伦理》的批判性回应:非殖民提议

The colonial period of Christian expansion was plagued by practices and systems that exploited non-European indigenous populations for the endgame interests of enriching the treasuries of European imperial powers and promoting Eurocentrism. Anderson Jeremiah has written an important paper that explains how the concepts of race and the caste system in South Asia functioned in the context of colonial Christian expansion, and argues that postcolonial Christian actors should prioritise intentionally replacing dehumanising forms of missional activity with the four ethically decolonising paradigms of radical resistance, solidarity, hospitality, and joy in service of promoting racial justice in future global society. My response focuses on Jeremiah's ethical paradigm of hospitality, and engages with the challenge of applying this paradigm. In order for this hospitality paradigm to be applied in ways that lead to optimal missional outcomes, it must answer several questions, especially those linked to the existence of contesting hospitality-focussed frameworks and sociocultural attitudes endorsed by contemporary Christian agents and communities whose norms of hospitality appear radically different.
基督教扩张的殖民时期深受剥削非欧洲土著居民的做法和制度的困扰,其最终目的是丰富欧洲帝国主义的国库和促进欧洲中心主义。安德森-耶利米(Anderson Jeremiah)撰写了一篇重要论文,解释了南亚的种族和种姓制度概念在基督教殖民扩张背景下的运作方式,并认为后殖民时期的基督教行动者应优先考虑有意识地用激进抵抗、团结、好客和喜乐这四种伦理上的非殖民化范式取代非人化的传教活动形式,以促进未来全球社会的种族正义。我的回应侧重于耶利米的好客伦理范式,并探讨了应用这一范式所面临的挑战。为了使这一款待范式的应用能够带来最佳的宣教成果,它必须回答几个问题,特别是那些与当代基督教代理人和社区所认可的以款待为核心的框架和社会文化态度存在争议有关的问题,这些当代基督教代理人和社区的款待规范似乎截然不同。

A Response to the Question of Pride and Prejudice in Stacey Floyd-Thomas's ‘Forgive Us Our Trespasses’ 对斯泰西-弗洛伊德-托马斯的《原谅我们的过错》中的傲慢与偏见问题的回应

Dr. Floyd-Thomas’s paper brings nuance to the discussion of pride and the hubris brought by the Westernized Enlightenment across disciplines. As much as I have the impulse to throttle others or shout or spit with the onslaught of mis-truths and ‘alternative facts’, this would not be a wise moment to conclude inquiry as an oral historian, or a Christian ethicist. I ask, can we decolonize ourselves, our syllabi, the canon, and thus our students with grace, understanding, even forgiveness so as not to repeat the trespasses?
弗洛伊德-托马斯博士的论文为关于西方化启蒙运动给各学科带来的骄傲和狂妄的讨论带来了细微的变化。面对错误真理和 "另类事实 "的冲击,尽管我有扼杀他人、大喊大叫或吐口水的冲动,但作为一名口述历史学家或基督教伦理学家,这并不是结束探究的明智时刻。我想问的是,我们能否以恩典、理解、甚至宽恕的态度使我们自己、我们的教学大纲、教科书以及我们的学生去殖民化,从而不再重蹈覆辙?

‘Forgive Us Our Trespasses’: The Critical Role, Responsibility and Rights of Ethics in Confronting the Enlightenment's Pride and Prejudice 宽恕我们的过错":伦理在对抗启蒙运动的傲慢与偏见中的关键作用、责任和权利

While postmodernists have claimed that the failure of the Enlightenment was a failure of philosophical courage, this plenary address explores how its greatest shortcoming actually was its hubris. Paying attention to how Western scholars have centered pride in their elitist purview was their ultimate worldview, this article examines ‘pride’ as the doctrinal dimension of the good life in contemporary Western society and culture. Furthermore, it implores postmodern Christian social ethicists to reform their stewardship to the telos of the field's highest ideals and role, in order to confront the shortcomings of the Enlightenment and help realize its greater capacity for social transformation. Borrowing the Gandhian critique of ‘knowledge without character’, the author surveys how the existential crisis of higher education, the political manipulation of journalism, and the policy practices of politicians, public intellectuals, and pundits operate in addressing post-imperial/postmodern legacies have legitimated implicit biases and dehumanizing projects that pass off stereotypes as scholarship and hate as hermeneutics.
虽然后现代主义者声称启蒙运动的失败是哲学勇气的失败,但这篇全会发言探讨了启蒙运动最大的缺陷实际上是它的狂妄自大。本文关注西方学者如何将精英主义视野中的自豪感作为其终极世界观的中心,探讨了 "自豪感 "作为当代西方社会和文化中美好生活的教义维度。此外,文章还呼吁后现代基督教社会伦理学家改革他们的管理方式,以实现该领域的最高理想和作用,从而正视启蒙运动的缺陷,帮助实现其更大的社会变革能力。作者借用甘地对 "没有品格的知识 "的批判,探讨了高等教育的生存危机、新闻业的政治操纵以及政治家、公共知识分子和学者的政策实践是如何处理后帝国/后现代遗产的,这些遗产使隐含的偏见和非人化项目合法化,这些项目将刻板印象当作学术研究,将仇恨当作诠释学。

Resisting the Building Project of Whiteness: A Theological Reflection on Land Ownership in the Church of England 抵制白人的建设项目:对英格兰教会土地所有权的神学反思

Willie James Jennings contends that the goal of whiteness is the creation and preservation of segregated space. For Jennings, whiteness, as well as upholding perceived notions of white normativity, is a way of being in the world, an imagined reality made real by our movement in physical space which destroys the identity-forming connections between communities and land. In this article I bring together Pope Francis’s reflections on the globalised economy in Laudato Si’ with the critiques of James H. Cone and Jennings to demonstrate the horrific harm of whiteness on marginalised people groups and the land itself. To resist the building project of whiteness, therefore, requires attention to our relationship with land. At this point I turn more readily to the land of England, offering the beginnings of a theology of place given the substantial land holdings of the Church of England. I close by asking whether the Church of England can be trusted to use its land to dismantle whiteness given its troubling colonial history in relation to land use.
威利-詹姆斯-詹宁斯认为,白人的目标是创造和维护隔离空间。在詹宁斯看来,白人性,以及维护白人规范性的观念,是一种存在于世界中的方式,是一种通过我们在物理空间中的移动而成为现实的想象中的现实,它破坏了社区与土地之间形成身份认同的联系。在这篇文章中,我将教皇方济各在《圣训集》中对全球化经济的反思与詹姆斯-康恩(James H. Cone)和詹宁斯(Jennings)的批判结合起来,以证明白人对边缘化群体和土地本身的可怕伤害。因此,要抵制白人的建设项目,就必须关注我们与土地的关系。在这一点上,我更愿意转向英格兰的土地,鉴于英格兰教会拥有大量土地,我提出了地方神学的开端。最后,我提出一个问题:鉴于英国教会在土地使用方面令人不安的殖民历史,我们是否可以相信英国教会会利用其土地来瓦解白人性?

This article explores the process of teaching Christian theological ethics beyond the common focus on European and North American sources. In conversation with moves to decolonise university curricula, the article proposes a theology of listening, an example of a research seminar for master’s and doctoral students at the University of Aberdeen on Christian ethics beyond Europe and North America, and an exploration of broader challenges for the formation of the theologian. The article asks, what can we learn when we give up power and control when teaching and learning theology? How can we shift our methods of knowing and practising theology? We write as theologians from India, Mexico, and the United States living in the United Kingdom. We reflect on forms of exclusion in theological method and formation that arise from colonising, systemic violence, and inequalities. The article considers intercultural challenges when encountering different methods of reflection on the Christian experience. In a search for a more profoundly theological approach, we propose listening to the other as integral to doing theology. In an intercultural move, we draw on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology of listening, proposing that theology must be an advent of voices from beyond our usual places and methods.
本文探讨了基督教神学伦理学的教学过程,超越了对欧洲和北美来源的普遍关注。文章结合大学课程非殖民化的举措,提出了一种倾听神学,并以阿伯丁大学为硕士生和博士生举办的关于欧洲和北美以外的基督教伦理的研究研讨会为例,探讨了神学家培养所面临的更广泛的挑战。文章提出的问题是:当我们在教授和学习神学时放弃权力和控制时,我们能学到什么?我们如何转变认识和实践神学的方法?我们作为来自印度、墨西哥和美国的神学家生活在英国。我们反思了神学方法和形成过程中的排斥形式,这些排斥源于殖民化、系统性暴力和不平等。文章探讨了在对基督教经验进行反思时遇到的不同方法所带来的跨文化挑战。为了寻求一种更深刻的神学方法,我们提出倾听他人是做神学不可或缺的一部分。在跨文化的行动中,我们借鉴了迪特里希-朋霍费尔的倾听神学,提出神学必须是来自我们惯常场所和方法之外的声音的降临。
