苦难与神义论

Suffering and Theodicy

苦难问题是人的大问题。由于对待苦难的态度的不同，苦难也处于完全不同的地位。受理性主义的影响，旧有的神义论只从理性出发为上帝辩护，从而有根本的缺陷。神义论更应当从苦难问题出发讨论，这种基于苦难的神义论可以称之为"新神义论"。在新神义论的基础上，苦难的意义才得以揭示，基督神学作为"苦难神学"也有了可能性。

Suffering poses a big problem to the human being s.With different approaches to it,suffering comes to be in different positions.I nfluenced by rationalism,the old theodicy,starting from rationality,only and sol ely defends God,hense arising fu ndamental defects.However,it is my belief that theodicy ought to go still one st ep further to start its discussion from the problem of suffering,and this suffer ing-based doctrine may be called'neo-theodicy'.Only on the basis of this neo -t heodicy can the meaning of suffering be revealed,and there will be the possibili ty of Christian theology sustaining its function as'theology of suffering'. ［
