由文化神學發展為教會神學與靈修神學──一種對巴爾塔撒的神學解讀/郭鴻標

撮要

筆者認為需要把巴爾塔撒視為文化神學家,加上教會神學家、祈禱神學家的身分,更能夠完整地描繪巴爾撒的神學特色。本篇文章除引言外,主要分三部分:第一部分巴爾塔撒的文化神學,第二部分巴爾塔撒教會神學,第三部分巴爾塔撒的靈修神學。筆者認為巴爾塔撒的文化神學與教會神學環環緊扣,從文化藝術層面進入「愛與受苦」的三一神學和「榮耀與受苦」的神學美學的層面。筆者認為疏理《榮耀》、《神劇》、《神律》的思想脈絡,正好把巴爾塔撒教會神學的面貌整理出來。人要實現自己,必須成為真正的自己,巴爾塔撒認為人被創造的目的是與上帝和諧,人要追尋看見與聽見上帝。「默觀祈禱」正好幫助人按照上帝對人的旨意祈禱,在基督裏獲得完滿。

 

ABSTRACT

This author thinks that if we take Hans Urs von Balthasar as Cultural theologian, Church theologian and Prayer theologian, we could thoroughly understand his theology. This paper is consisted of three parts except introduction, the first part is the Theology of Culture of Balthasar, the second part is the Church Theology of Balthasar, and the third part is the Spiritual Theology of Balthasar. This author thinks that Balthasar links the Theology of Culture and Church Theology together, from the artistic culture dimension into the “Love and suffering” Trinitarian God and the “Glory and Suffering “ Theological Aesthetics. This author will clarify the logical sequence of Glory of God, Theodrama and Theologic, in order to bring out the Church Theology dimension. The actualization of human is to be an authentic self; Balthasar thinks that the purpose of human creation is to be in harmony with God, so we should seek to see and listen to God. “Contemplative prayer” helps us praying according to God’s will and have fulfillment in Christ.
