《罗马书》的经文校勘学

On the Textual Criticism of Romans

“经学”研究的第一步是对文本的鉴别,称之为“经文校勘学”或“经文鉴别学”。圣经古典修辞学需要以经文校勘学为基本方法,以便首先确定准确的经书文本,之后才进行修辞学分析。本文以《罗马书》为例,尝试引介经文校勘学这一释经学方法,以求展示圣经诠释学的文本依据,并进行有说服力的解释。经文校勘学从外证开始,比如手抄本的品质,之后转向内证,包括经文的背景、风格和词汇及作者所处的神学环境等。其间不可机械地应用校勘学原则,因为圣经经文及其流传过程同时也是一个诠释接受的过程。

The first step in biblical study is to identify the text,which is called"textual criticism."Classical biblical rhetoric requires scripture collation as the basic method to determine the accurate text of the scripture first,and then conduct rhetorical analysis.This article takes Romans as an example to introduce the hermeneutical method of scripture collation to show the textual basis of biblical hermeneutics and provide a convincing explanation.Scripture proofreading begins with external evidence,such as the quality of manuscripts,and then turns to internal evidence,including the background,style and vocabulary of the scriptures,and the theological environment of the author.Among these,principles of collation cannot be applied mechanically,because the biblical texts and the process of passing them down are also a hermeneutical reception process.
