摘要
Bavli Baba Batra 10b–11a证实了发生在四世纪美索不达米亚的“犹太-基督教对话”的存在。这篇文章表明,这个sugya对基督教的几个主张提出了拉比的回应:(1)与Aphrahat相反,上帝和以色列有着持续而独特的密切关系;(2) 与Aphrahat相反,非犹太人的慈善是出于自我膨胀、非犹太人统治的延续和傲慢的欲望,因此是有罪的;(3) 与Aphrahat相反,非犹太人的慈善是有罪的,因为他们从事慈善只是为了辱骂以色列;此外,外邦人的慈善并不能赎罪;(4)与阿弗拉哈相反(他引用以谢克书15:4和以赛亚书58:11),不是犹太人会被烤干,被火焚烧;一旦非犹太人的慈善事业停止,将被烧毁的是非犹太人帝国。
The People, Not the Peoples: The Talmud Bavli’s “Charitable” Contribution to the Jewish-Christian Conversation in Mesopotamia
Bavli Baba Batra 10b–11a substantiates the existence of a “Jewish-Christian conversation” that took place in fourth-century Mesopotamia. This essay demonstrates that this sugya presents rabbinic responses to several Christian claims: (1) contra Aphrahat, God and Israel have a continuing and uniquely close relationship; (2) contra Aphrahat, Gentile charity is motivated by the desire for self-aggrandizement, the continuation of Gentile rule, and arrogance, and is thus sinful; (3) contra Aphrahat, Gentile charity is sinful because they only engage in it to revile Israel; moreover, Gentile charity does not atone for their sins; and (4) contra Aphrahat (who quotes Ezek. 15:4 and Isa. 58:11), it is not the Jews who will be dried out and burned up with fire; once Gentile charity ceases, it is the Gentile empires who will burn.
