文士活动与希伯来先知文学研究:成书模式、文学技艺与编纂观念

Research on Scribal Culture and Hebrew Prophetic Literature: Formation, Literary Techniques and Redacting Concepts

先知文学是希伯来文学的重要组成部分,对于后世西方文学与世界文学都产生了深远影响。从整体上看,学界目前对于先知文学的成书、文学特征与思想价值等方面的研究成果相对分散,尚未建立一种能够系统地将上述维度有效地统合的研究进路,因而难以对先知文学的生成机制、文学价值与创作动机等因素进行综合把握。本文从先知文学集体作者——文士——的角度出发,试图通过建构出较为完整的作者系统研究路径,来探讨文士与先知群体在历史活动中的密切关系,并以文士的文学活动为着眼点,对先知文学的文学特征与背后的思想观念进行系统的考察,以期能够在希伯来先知文学的相关研究上有所推进。

Prophetic literature is an important part of Hebrew Literature and deeply affects the western and world literature of later generations. In general, the study of prophetic literature shows a lack of integration. Thus, it is difficult to take systematic research on the creation, literary value and creative motivation of this genre. This essay focuses on this issue from the perspective of the scribal class, which is believed to be the collective author of prophetic literature. The close relationship between scribes and prophets is discussed, and the formation, literary techniques and thoughts of the genre are studied from this perspective. This method may contribute to further study on prophetic literature.
