Abstract

Abstract This investigation develops in three steps. First, we seek to complexify the opioid crisis in a way that helps us to see how the issues of misguided desire and misplaced attachments are fundamentally important for a theological account of opioid addiction.1 Second, acknowledging the connections between pain and opioid addiction, we explore some of the ways in which our understanding of pain can influence our understanding of and responses to opioid use. Finally, we offer some tentative reflections on the theological and ecclesial dimensions of the opioid crisis which hold the potential to influence the nature of a Christian response to the issues. Having laid out these steps, we argue for the church’s calling, where she complexifies the narratives about the opioid crisis and provides individuals suffering from opioid use “homeful” encounters with God and the community.
忠实地描述和回应成瘾和痛苦:基督徒的“家”和欲望
本研究分三步展开。首先,我们试图将阿片类药物危机复杂化,以帮助我们看到被误导的欲望和错位的依恋对阿片类药物成瘾的神学解释是多么重要其次,承认疼痛和阿片类药物成瘾之间的联系,我们探索了我们对疼痛的理解可以影响我们对阿片类药物使用的理解和反应的一些方式。最后,我们对阿片类药物危机的神学和教会层面提出了一些尝试性的反思,这些危机有可能影响基督徒对这些问题的反应的性质。在阐述了这些步骤之后,我们为教会的呼召辩护,她将有关阿片类药物危机的叙述复杂化,并为使用阿片类药物的个人提供与上帝和社区的“家庭”相遇。
