Abstract

This paper traces the history of the negative theology of YHWH from the beginning of the integration of YHWH into the Canaanite pantheon to the post-exilic period in the Torah through the interpretation of the Shema’ Israel from its mono-Yahwistic understanding to monotheism as an expression of God’s freedom. In the second step, the development of negative theology is traced from the pre-exilic proverbs, which understand God as a limit of knowledge, to negative theology in the Book of Job and Qohelet, as well as the overcoming of negative theology in the paradise-narrative in Genesis 2–3 through the freedom of choice granted to man by God.

《申命记》中的托拉和希伯来圣经中的智慧文学中上帝自由的消极神学表达

本文追溯了耶和华负面神学的历史，从耶和华融入迦南万神殿开始，到《托拉》中的后流放时期，通过对以色列示玛的解释，从对一神论的理解到一神论作为上帝自由的表达。第二步，消极神学的发展从被流放前的箴言(将上帝理解为知识的极限)到《约伯记》和《圣训》中的消极神学，以及《创世纪》2-3章中通过上帝赋予人类选择的自由，对消极神学的克服。

期刊介绍： Published since 2002, "Verbum Vitae" is issued biannually by the Institute of Biblical Studies of the Faculty of Theology, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Each issue of the journal includes scholarly articles dedicated to a specific biblical theme and presented in three sections: (I) Old Testament, (II) New Testament, and (III) Patristics and the Life of the Church. The final "Life of the Church" perspective tries to broaden out each issue''s given topic into its multiple connections and implications, mostly dogmatic, moral, pastoral, liturgical, or sociological. The forth section of the journal always consists of reviews of recently published monographs and collections on biblical themes. Because of the journal''s interdisciplinary character, it seeks to include among the contributors not only biblical scholars but also theologians of various specializations.
