認同與關聯:莫特曼辯證式的十架神學
Identity and Relevance: The Theological Dialectic of the Cross in Jürgen Moltmann
摘要
中 文 摘 要 莫特曼以辯證的思維方式談到，神學家們、教會和個人的基督信仰生活在今日所面臨的雙重危機：對內的身份「認同的危機」（Identitätskrise）與對外「關聯的危機」（Relevanzkrise）。這兩個危機之間存在著張力和互補。本論文就以基督教信仰面臨的這個雙重危機起始，展開對上帝認識之探討。 莫特曼認為基督教信仰應當回歸聖經，回到保羅和路德的十架神學，應當與被釘十字架的基督認同。十字架神學的知識論原理只能是這種辯證原理：上帝的神性在十字架的悖論中顯現。「在相反事物中顯現」這種辯證法原理並不能取代「同類只為同類所知」這種類比性原理，但是只有前者才能使後者成為可能。只要上帝在其反面中顯現，祂就能被沒有上帝的人和被上帝遺棄的人所認識，也就是這樣的認識使他們能夠與上帝一致。 基督教會和基督神學只有在被釘十字架的上帝中，才能顯明其身份的核心，並以此為標準，質疑自身和他們所生存的社會，也才能與當今世界的種種問題發生關聯。這份對莫特曼辯證式十架神學的研究，可以用批判的角度來考察，在當今時代裡，對十字架的思考能澄清多少基督信仰的對內身份「認同」與對外的「關聯」。

ABSTRACT The Christian life of theologians, churches and human beings is faced more than ever today with a double crisis: "the crisis of identity"(Identitätskrise) and "the crisis of relevance"(Relevanzkrise). There are tension and complement between these two crises. Professor Jürgen Moltmann discussed the double crisis with the dialectical method. This essay begins with the double crisis and then extends to the discussion of the epistemology of God. In Moltmann's view, Christian Faith should be back to Bible, back to Paul and Luther's theology of cross. It should be identified with the Crucified Christ. The epistemological principle of the theology of the cross can only be this dialectic principle : the deity of God is revealed in the paradox of the cross. The dialectical principle of "revelation in the opposite" does not replace the analogical principle of "like is known only by like", but alone makes it possible. In so far as God is revealed in his opposite, he can be known by the godless and those who are abandoned by God, and it is this knowledge which brings them into correspondence with God. The Christian church and Christian theology become relevant to the problems of the modern world only when they reveal the hard core of their identity in the crucified Christ and through it are called into question, together with the society in which they live. This research of the theological dialectic of the cross in Jürgen Moltmann will find out the reflection upon the cross leads to the clarification of what can be called Christian identity and what can be called Christian relevance, in critical way with our contemporaries.
