统计学方法在神学研究上的实践与创新－以《圣经．创世纪》中神和人沟通为例

整本圣经的核心体现了人与神关系，神如何和人沟通是一个值得探讨的主题。本文应用统计学中Spearman相关分析和词频统计等方法，对《圣经．创世记》中这一主题进行了深入研究，对神对人说话的方式、目的、内容和字数等进行了统计。结果显示《圣经．创世记》中共记载了38次神与人的说话，涉及到17个人和6类不同的显现方式。Spearman相关性分析显示人执行神命令的态度，与神向这个人说话次数、字数呈正相关，即顺服的人领受神更多话语，悖逆的人神较少说话。语义分析显示神最关注“后裔”的话题（占全部神说话经文63%）。方式分析显示“除圣经中未提到的显现方式”外，神“显现在梦中”对人说话最多，整体规律与约伯记33:15-18和约翰福音14:21一致。本研究实现了统计学方法应用于神学研究的实践和创新，结论为解释神学中复杂问题提供数据分析参考，对拓宽圣经研究方法具有一定意义。

This article explores in depth the issue of how God speaks to people, the purpose, the content, and the number of words in Genesis of Bible, by using correlation analysis and semantic analysis method in statistics. The results show that the Bible records a total of 38 God-to-human speeches in the Bible Genesis, involving 17 individuals and 6 different appearances. Correlation analysis showed that people's attitude toward God's command was positively related to the number of words God spoke to this person. Obedient people receive more words from God, and God speaks less to disobedient people. Semantic analysis shows that God is most concerned about the topic of ＂descendants,＂ which accounting for 63% contents of all God's speaking verses. The analysis of the appearance shows that apart from ＂the Bible does not mention the appearance,＂ God speaks most ＂in the dream＂ of people. Thees laws is consistent with Job 33: 15-18 and John 14:21. The conclusion of this article provides a reference for the correct interpretation of how did God speaks to people, and has significance to promote the truth.
