呼召与成圣:马丁·路德与施礼华工作观的比较研究

Vocation and Sanctification:A comparative study of Martin Luther and Josemaria Escriva’s view of Work

本文旨在比较路德和施礼华工作观的异同,并探讨造成这种差异的原因。两种工作观的相同点在于路德和施礼华都把世俗工作与“呼召”联系起来。差异在于路德把工作限制在世俗领域,使得工作与上帝国失去了联系;而施礼华不仅将工作看成参与上帝创世的工程和成圣的方法,而且还将工作视为拓展教会的使徒工作。本文试图揭示造成这种工作观差异的原因,由此,可以管窥和分析路德与施礼华分别所属的基督新教和天主教两大神学传统,应对世俗工作所采取的不同的回应方式。本文结论是,较之路德所属的基督新教神学传统,施礼华所属的天主教神学传统回应世俗工作的研究进路更加深入和系统。

In comparing Luther’s view of Work with that of Josemaria Escriva,this paper inquires into their common features and distinctions and clarifies how they differ from each other.Both Luther’s and Josemaria Escriva’s views connect the secular Work with vocation.They differ in that Luther limited Work to the secular field,which made Work lose contact with the Kingdom of God.In addition to taking part in God’s project of creation and the method of sanctification,Josemaria Escriva regarded Work as expanding the apostolic Work of Church.This paper tries to reveal the reasons for the differences in views of Work,and analyzes the different ways in which Protestant and Catholic theological traditions of Luther and Josemaria Escriva responded to the secular Work.The conclusion of this paper is that the Catholic theological tradition of Josemaria Escriva is more profound and systematic in its response to secular Work than Luther’s Protestant Christian theological tradition.
