本文主要依据林荣洪、邢福增、古爱华等专著及相关论文,指出关于赵紫宸的神学研究,目前学界大多围绕他论述基督教与中国文化、社会的关系而展开,基本上呈现出相关性与差别性的两种诠释路径。不过,无论对赵紫宸神学的相关性诠释路径还是差别性诠释路径,它们都根源于自己的理解对象:在神学构建的早期,赵紫宸本人侧重于基督教与中国文化、社会的相关性诠释,旨在回应在中国文化的历史处境与中国社会的现实处境中的基督教神学实际是什么的难题;在中期,他注重基督教与中国文化、社会的差别性诠释,旨在回应基督教神学在中国文化的历史处境与中国社会的现实处境中应该是什么的难题。赵紫宸研究神学的路径,決定着学者们研究他的神学之路径。这种相关性与差别性的诠释路径,正好印证了诠释学的一般特征:一定程度上,诠释对象的路径规定着诠释主体的路径。
Based mainly on the texts written by Lam Wing-hung, Ying Fuk-tsang, Winfried Glüer and so on, this article suggests that there are relevant and different approaches for interpreting Tsu Chen Chao (1888-1979)'s theology in Chinese scholarship today that focus on his discussions of the relationship between Christianity and Chinese culture as well as society in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The approaches of interpretation have a witness for the general feature of hermeneutics that in some degree the interpretive approaches of object will prescribe the interpretive approaches of its subjects.
