跨学科的圣经叙事研究视阈和整体建构框架——评刘洪一近著《圣经叙事研究》

An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Biblical Narrative Studies and Overall Construction Framework: A Review of Liu Hongyi's Studies on Biblical Narration

刘洪一教授的近著《圣经叙事研究》突破了圣经研究的传统习规,以圣经叙事为研究界面和理论框架,整合文学、宗教、历史等跨学科的视野和资源,对希伯来圣经的叙事话语、叙事母题、叙事结构、叙事形态、叙事成规等进行了系统还原整理,首次系统地揭示了希伯来圣经叙事的内在体系和建构规则。该研究对探索与建构文化诗学,特别是宗教文化诗学不无实践性的启示意义。

Studies on Biblical Narration is Professor Liu Hongyi＇s recent monograph. This book intends to break with conventional Bible studies and to sort out the inner system and constructive rules of the Hebrew Bible for the first time by using biblical narrative as research interface and theoretical framework and integrating interdisciplinary perspectives and resources across literary, religious, and historical studies. It probes into the discourse, motifs, structure, typography, and conventions of the Bible and shows that the Bible as a particular narration whole is not only deep in connotation but also well-knit in structure. It marks serious attempts to render new readings into the origin and nature of the Bible from an interdisciplinary angle. In a sense, studies of the narration of the Bible work to raise a poetic proposition regarding religious culture, and shed some light on the connotation and significance of the poetics.
