摘要

在中國和世界其他地區，由新冠疫情引發的公共衛生困境正在加劇社會與政治危機，當下人們共同生活的理想和實踐正在遭受嚴峻挑戰。在此背景下，本文將重新審視神學家巴特的政治神學論述，反思其中關於信仰社群責任倫理與行動的議題。具體而言，這一議題可以從兩個維度展開。首先，通過解析福音與律法的關係，巴特界定了信仰社群責任倫理的規範，即見證上帝聖言的先知行動。其次，通過分析信仰共同體與政治共同體的關係，巴特指明了作為祭司的信仰社群責任行動的政治導向與類比內涵。本文試圖表明，巴特在面對各種危機時進行的責任倫理思考，結合了連貫一致的教義立場與高度處境化的政治主張，將啟發我們在當下的危機環境中追求共同生活願景的倫理實踐。

In China and many other parts of the world, the outbreak of the pandemic is exacerbating social and political crises, and the common life ideals and practices are facing severe challenges. In this context, this article re-examines the political theology of the theologian Karl Barth, reflecting on his ethics and the Christian community's actions of responsibility. Specifically, it approaches this issue from two dimensions. First, by illustrating the relationship between the gospel and the law, Barth defines the ethical norms of responsibility for the Christian community, that is, the prophetic action which witnesses to the divine Word of God. Second, by expounding the relationship between the Christian community and the civil community, Barth points to the priestly action of the Christian community with its political orientation and analogical expressions. This article shows that Barth's ethical thinking on responsibility in the face of various crises, featured by a coherent doctrinal stand and with highly contextualized political propositions, will inspire us to venture ethical practices with a vision of the common life here and now.
