摘要

在这篇文章中,我提请注意神圣的不可言说性的非哲学维度,通过文本文本作为宗教信息传达,这里定义为文本呈现的视觉方面。我提供了一个案例研究,描述了神的名字替代的特定段落,因为它呈现在材料文本平台上,否则被称为圣经。这项研究涵盖了一系列非语言信息,这些信息是通过古代、中世纪和现代的圣经迭代中离散的抄写和印刷实践提供的。各种图形的神名替换提示有限制的神名阅读表演。这样的表演实际上取代或改变了神的名字,在文本中创造了一种沉默的干扰,传达了关于神的一些基本的东西,这些东西在圣经中不是通过文本的实际文字传达的,而是通过文本的大意传达的。这个案例研究表明,由于圣经的文本总是伴随着段落,因此圣经的含义比它的文字所说的要多。

Communicating Divine Ineffability through Paratext: How the Bible Means More than Its Words
Abstract In this article I draw attention to a non-philosophical dimension of divine ineffability communicated as religious information through paratext, defined here as visual aspects of textual presentation. I offer a case study that describes a particular paratext of divine name-substitution as it presents itself in material text platforms otherwise known as Bibles. The study covers a range of non-verbal messages offered through discrete scribal and printing practices in ancient, medieval, and modern iterations of scripture. Various graphic divine-name substitutions prompt circumscribed reading performances of the divine name. Such performances actually replace or transform the divine name, creating an apophatic disturbance in the text that communicates something fundamental about the divine which is not communicated in the Bible through the actual words of its text but through its paratext. This case study shows that inasmuch the text of the Bible has always been accompanied by paratexts, the Bible thereby means more than what its words say.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Religious & Theological Information is an essential resource for bibliographers, librarians, and scholars interested in the literature of religion and theology. Both international and pluralistic in scope, this peer-reviewed journal encourages the publication of research and scholarship in the field of library and information studies as it relates to religious studies and related fields, including philosophy, ethnic studies, anthropology, sociology, and historical approaches to religion. By "information" we refer to both print and electronic, and both published and unpublished information.
