德国传教士安保罗对“至圣者”形象的神学诠释

The Theological Interpretation of the Most Holy One by Kranz Paul,a German missionary

德国传教士学者安保罗,19世纪末年来到中国,以"他者"视角捕捉到儒学经典中展现公义、仁爱、勇气、刚强、诚实的伟大思想,把儒家经典"四书"从文言文翻译成"官话"即"白话文",完成《论语本义官话》《孟子本义官话》《大学本义官话》《中庸本义官话》四卷的白话文译本。安保罗在《中庸本义官话》中对"至圣者"形象进行了鞭辟入里的剖析,认为这是对基督耶稣的一个"大预言",这同时也表明了孔夫子"先知性"的宗教特征和宗教精神。
