Abstract

The relationship between theology and literature in Scotland from the mid eighteenth to the late nineteenth century is explored in this chapter through a consideration of the writing of Robert Burns, Susan Ferrier, Catherine Sinclair, and Margaret Oliphant. All are authors whose work has undergone re-appraisal in terms of its status and the way it reflects religious themes from a Reformed perspective. Four aspects of theological interest are covered: the significance of denominational allegiance; the tension between the influence of the family home and the ministry of the church on religious belief; the role of eschatology in literature; and the appropriateness of literature as a vehicle for theological instruction and debate. The writers under discussion offer contrasting, critical, yet committed insights into these areas which contribute to our understanding of contemporary theological debates.
十八、十九世纪文学中的加尔文主义悖论
本章通过考察罗伯特·伯恩斯、苏珊·费里尔、凯瑟琳·辛克莱和玛格丽特·奥列芬特的作品,探讨了十八世纪中期至十九世纪晚期苏格兰神学与文学之间的关系。所有这些作者的作品都经历了从改革宗的角度重新评估其地位和反映宗教主题的方式。神学兴趣的四个方面包括:教派效忠的意义;家庭对宗教信仰的影响与教会事工之间的张力;末世论在文学中的作用;以及文学作为神学指导和辩论工具的适当性。讨论中的作者对这些领域提供了对比的、批判性的、但坚定的见解,这些见解有助于我们理解当代神学辩论。
