摘要
奥古斯丁在其传世著作《上帝之城》中提出了"两城"的概念,即"世俗之城"和"上帝之城"。按照奥古斯丁的理解,"上帝之城"是由上帝为王,由天使和圣徒所组成的天上之城。奥古斯丁认为,基督徒只是暂时寄居在"世俗之城"中,只有"上帝之城"才是他们永恒的居所。奥古斯丁的"两城"观念在基督教神学史上有着重要的影响。同时,在有关基督徒身份认同这一方面,给予后人很大的诠释空间。
Augustine put forward the concept of＂ Two Cities＂——the Earthly and the Heavenly, and talked about the origins of two cities in The City of God.According to Augustine, angles and human beings composed the city of god, while they served the God as the one and the only king.He believed that devout Christians were sojourners in the earthly city, however they were permanent residents in the city of god.The concept of Two Cities was closely related to the identity of Christians.Furthermore, it has a significant influence on the history of Christianity.Also this topic still has plenty of room for discussion.
