Abstract

ABSTRACT The explanation of Biblical texts has often been left unquestionable by both believers and unbelievers. This has led to absorbing problematic explanations. This culture of not questioning has become a problem of making the Bible a tool of miseducation, suppression and exploitation. Above everything, Black believers tend to read, translate and interpret the Bible through “White/masters eyes.” This article aims to conscientize Blacks or the working class to read the Bible from their perspective and experiences. In this context, Blacks are to be understood as the working class who should problematize “The Parable of the Talents.” The article will argue that “The Parable of the Talents” has been read wrongly and will propose a new way of reading this parable.
《人才寓言》的黑色解读
圣经经文的解释常常被信徒和非信徒所质疑。这导致吸收了有问题的解释。这种不质疑的文化已经成为使圣经成为错误教育、压制和剥削的工具的问题。最重要的是,黑人信徒倾向于通过“白人/主人的眼睛”来阅读、翻译和解释圣经。这篇文章旨在唤醒黑人或工人阶级从他们的角度和经历来阅读圣经。在这种背景下,黑人应该被理解为应该质疑《天才的寓言》的工人阶级。本文将论证《贤能寓言》被误读的问题,并提出一种新的解读方式。
