摘要

政治體系奠基於一套價值上，這套價值是用來衡量哪一種解釋和觀察被認為是可能的，哪些論據是有效的，哪些主題是值得討論的。這個價值體系形成一組參考架構，它可以在學術理論脈絡中被稱呼為「合法性的脈絡」。目前，聖經的立場在歐洲的合法性脈絡內受到質疑。本文思考一個經常被貼上「國家女性主義」標籤的挪威政治體系的例子。在這個體系中，自由與平等乃是最高的價值，這使得聖經有點尷尬。既然聖經和政治體系的價值和標準相較之下不被視為解放性的文獻，結果是挪威根本就沒有女性主義解放神學。這樣，女性主義的聖經研究在此脈絡中便不是一種奠基於聖經的解放神學，而是在聖經失去其合法性之處為聖經學術身處於合法性脈絡來加以辯護。於是，本文展示從一個脈絡到另一個脈絡的轉譯如何能幫助我們更加把原初的體系和合法性的目標體系烘托出來。

A political system is based on a set of values used to evaluate which explanations and observations are considered plausible, which arguments are valid, which topics are worthy of discussion. The system forms a frame of reference which in a theory of science context can be called ”context of legitimation.” Currently the position of the Bible is questioned within European contexts of legitimation. The article considers the Norwegian case where the political system is often labeled ”state feminist”. In this system equality and justice are the highest ranked values, which leaves the Bible in a slightly awkward position. A consequence is that in a Norwegian context, feminist liberation theology is non-existing, since the Bible is not seen as a liberating document when measured against the values and standards of the political system at large. Feminist biblical studies in this context then, is not liberation theology based on the Bible, but apology for the relevance of biblical scholarship within a context of legitimation where the Bible has lost its legitimacy. The paper thus puts in relief how translation from one context to another can help us bring both the original and the target context of legitimation more into relief.
