Abstract

Tim Hartman examines African traditional religions (ATRs) more broadly, comparing three major themes in their theological anthropology with the theology of Karl Barth: creation, disobedience/sin, and destiny/salvation. Drawing especially from the work of Kofi Asare Opoku and Jacob Olupona, Hartman argues that Barth and ATRs share similar understandings of God as creator who is wholly other than creation, but who is close to creation, and a disruption of that original closeness because of human disobedience. However, because of their different interpretations of human disobedience, Barth and ATRs differ significantly in understanding salvation or the resolution of the disruption caused by that disobedience. In his concluding reflections, Hartman suggests a further convergence worth exploring: in contrast to some other Western theologians, both Barth and ATRs describe all humanity as one whole, not divided into groups.
人性与命运
蒂姆·哈特曼更广泛地考察了非洲传统宗教(ATRs),将他们的神学人类学与卡尔·巴特(Karl Barth)的神学中的三个主要主题进行了比较:创造、不服从/罪恶和命运/救赎。哈特曼特别借鉴了科菲·阿萨雷·奥波库和雅各布·奥鲁波纳的作品,认为巴特和atr对上帝有着相似的理解,认为上帝是完全不同于被造物的创造者,但他与被造物很接近,并且由于人类的不服从而破坏了最初的亲密关系。然而,由于他们对人类不服从的不同解释,Barth和atr在理解拯救或解决由不服从引起的破坏方面存在显着差异。在他最后的反思中,哈特曼提出了一个值得探索的进一步的趋同:与其他一些西方神学家相比,巴特和atr都将全人类描述为一个整体,而不是分成群体。
