Abstract

Abstract Truth in the West is highly contested. The advent of post-truth politics, in addition to the ongoing culture wars, mitigates against truth being understood solely on the basis of objective facts, as it was in the past. For pastoral carers and counsellors, this raises significant questions: how to build shared understandings of truth between individuals and in communities? This article proposes a solution in an incarnational approach to pastoral work. Drawing upon the work of Rowan Williams, Raimon Panikkar, Diarmuid O’Murchu, and St. Maximos the Confessor, this article offers both theological and practical considerations regarding this approach.

牧区实践中的真理:有争议领土的坚实基础

抽象真理在西方备受争议。后真相政治的出现，加上正在进行的文化战争，缓解了人们对真相的理解仅仅基于客观事实，就像过去一样。对于牧民护理人员和顾问来说，这提出了重大问题：如何在个人和社区之间建立对真相的共同理解？这篇文章提出了一个解决方案，在一个化身的方法田园工作。本文借鉴了罗温·威廉姆斯（Rowan Williams）、莱蒙·帕尼克卡（Raimon Panikkar）、迪亚穆伊德·奥穆尔丘（Diarmuid O'Murchu）和忏悔者圣·马克西莫斯（St.Maximos the Confessor）的作品，就这一方法提供了神学和实践方面的考虑。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
