Are We "Misreading" Paul? Oral Phenomenon And Implications On Exegesis Of Paul's Letters(保羅是否被我們誤解了?──口述傳統及其含義如何影響保羅書信的詮釋) /曾思瀚
撮要
過往,口述研究總是局限於非聖經文學的領域;但自從福音來源鑑別學採用口述背景為釋經角度後,口述研究便從次要的周邊地位,邁進聖經研究的範圍中,並佔有不可或缺的位置。雖然,以口述傳統作聖經研究仍未十分普及,但對於新近的保羅研究的影響力卻越見增加。無疑,現代讀者對於印刷媒體的觀念,使口述研究更形複雜。不過,對於不僅閱讀,並且聘聽保羅作品的釋經者而言,這些問題絕不會對了解保羅的作品造成障礙。本文嘗試從口述研究的角度,探索幾種設釋保羅作品的可能性,希望能在突破現存保羅研究方法論的努力下,使讀者更上一層樓,再次聆聽保羅歷久彌新的寶貴教導。
ABSTRACT
In the past years, orality studies have been restricted to non-biblical literature. Ever since the usage of orality in Gospel source criticism, orality has moved from the peripheral to essential place in biblical studies. While its usage in biblical studies has been limited, it is becoming more influential in recent works on Paul. The problem of modern readers looking at the printed media complicates the matter further. However, this does not need to trouble the interpreter who wants not only to read but to hear Paul. This study looks at some interpretive possibilities that can enhance present methods of reading Paul from the implications of orality studies so that the modern readers can hear Paul afresh once again.
