摘要
教宗大格里高利的《对话录》因为充斥神迹而饱受诟病。本文通过解读其第二卷《圣本尼狄克传》,并结合作者其他著述,试图说明格里高利相信神迹,但认为神迹只是牧灵布道的辅助。在这部圣徒传神迹故事的背后,是教宗对如何做一名基督徒的思考。
Pope Gregory the Great's Dialogues has long been criticized for the flowing miracle stories. This paper reinterprets its second book, Life of St. Benedict, and attempts to argue, in light of other works of his, that Gregory does believe in miracles, yet to him the importance of the miracle only lies in pastoral function. The hagiography of St. Benedict, in spite of all its miraculous conventions, is the pope's answer to the question: What is it to be a Christian?
