Abstract

Abstract This article offers a critical re-evaluation of the role of death in Christian theology, especially as it is viewed in light of the incarnation. It situates the problem of death as an extension of the problem of evil and analyses the classical responses to this problem in the Western Christian tradition. From here, it brings in the theological “minority report” on the role of death that runs through the Western tradition, ultimately using it as a springboard for a constructive repositioning of death as a potential locus of encountering the benevolence of God in Christ.

上帝与死亡之善:神学少数派报告

摘要本文对死亡在基督教神学中的作用进行了批判性的重新评估，尤其是从化身的角度来看。它将死亡问题定位为邪恶问题的延伸，并分析了西方基督教传统中对这一问题的经典回应。从这里开始，它引入了贯穿西方传统的关于死亡作用的神学“少数派报告”，最终将其作为一个跳板，将死亡建设性地重新定位为在基督中遇到上帝仁慈的潜在场所。

期刊介绍： Open Theology is an international Open Access, peer-reviewed academic journal that welcomes contributions written in English addressing religion in its various forms and aspects: historical, theological, sociological, psychological, and other. The journal encompasses all major disciplines of Theology and Religious Studies, presenting doctrine, history, organization and everyday life of various types of religious groups and the relations between them. We publish articles from the field of Theology as well as Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and also dialogue between Religion and Science. The Open Theology does not present views of any particular theological school nor of a particular religious organization. The contributions are written by researchers who represent different religious views. The authors present their research concerning the old religious traditions as well as new religious movements. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. The journal seeks also to provide researchers, pastors and other interested persons with the fruits of academic studies.
