對「漢語神學」的神學反思 /郭鴻標

撮要

本文主要對「漢語神學」進行神學反省,並提出「漢語神學」須加強神學的向度、跨文化的向度、靈修學的向度、崇拜學的向度、基督中心的文化神學向度、神學倫理學的向度,以及系統神學的向度。漢語神學被定義為「不完全出自教會」、「不完全為著教會」,以及「面向教內和教外」的神學,偏重人文性及學術性的研究,並為神學發展提供一種新的視角。不過,我們不必過分誇大漢語神學與基督徒神學——「出自教會」、「為著教會」和「面向教會」的神學一的分別。我們需要反思基督教神學與漢語神學的關係,重申基督徒神學同樣具備 公共意涵,並建議漢語神學應加強基督教神學的內容,讓它能夠具備神學應有的元素。

 

ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to do theological reflection on the “Sino-Theology.” The writer points out that the “Sino-Theology” needs to strengthen theological dimension, cross-cultural dimension, spirituality dimension, worship theology dimension, Christ- centered dimension, theological ethics dimension and systematic theology dimension. The “Sino-Theology” defines herself as a theology “not totally come from the Church,” “not totally for the Church,” and “facing Christians and non-Christians,” emphasizing humanity and scholarship in order to give a new perspective for theological development. But it is not necessary to exaggerate the difference between the “Sino-Theology” and Christian theology that is “from the Church,” “for the Church,” and “facing the Church.” We have to rethink the relationship between Christian theology and the “Sino-Theology,” affirming that Christian theology has the public implication, and encouraging the “Sino- Theology” to strengthen Christian theological elements, so that her theology can obtain the elements that theology should contain.
