莫尔特曼盼望神学:终末境域中的他者互构

Moltmann's Theology of Hope:the Mutual Construction of the Other in the Eschatological Realm

传统基督教神学一直将上帝与人类世界之间的关系阐述为主客服从,上帝处于高高在上的绝对主宰。而近代基督教神学又过于突出人的个体性,导致上帝的神圣性遭到质疑。这两种观点对人类生存处境的思考都过于极端,成为人类苦难与罪恶的重要渊源。莫尔特曼在自己的盼望神学体系中所建构的终末境域,为上帝与人类世界提供了一个平衡点,从而保证了两者之间形成互为他者、共同建塑的他者互构关系,并具体通过终末启示和终末盼望展现出来。

Traditional Christian theology has always described the relationship between God and thehuman world as subject and object. God is a supreme master in absolute dominance. Modern Christiantheology,however,overemphasized the individuality of human,leading to the questioning of the divinenature of God. These two viewpoints are too extreme to reflect the living conditions of human beings andhave become an important source of human suffering and sin. The final realm proposed by Moltmann’sTheology of Hope establishes a balance between God and the human world,thus ensuring the formation ofa relationship between the two as one that mutually construct the other and reveals itself througheschatological revelation and hope.
