Abstract

Abstract That stories of migration are found in the Bible is not a debate, although the meaning to be taken from the presence of such stories is ambiguous. Notably, the writing of recent theologians on migration emphasizes response to migration, rather than the experience of migration. An analysis of six articles spanning two decades shows three overlapping themes in these writings: the identity of “stranger,” the responsibility of help, and hospitality. These themes are linked especially to a parable (Luke 10:25–37) and to a story of judgment (Matthew 25:31–46). In this article, scholarly interpretations of these themes are brought into conversation with interviews with adolescents who have migrated to Europe. The three themes are explored not in search of a normative biblical response to migrants, but considered in light of the lived religious experiences of adolescents who have migrated.

设置新课程？移民与圣经的实践探讨

摘要《圣经》中有关于移民的故事，这并不是一场争论，尽管从这些故事中可以得到的含义是模糊的。值得注意的是，最近神学家关于移民的著作强调对移民的反应，而不是移民的经历。对20年来的六篇文章的分析表明，这些文章中有三个重叠的主题：“陌生人”的身份、帮助的责任和热情好客。这些主题尤其与一个寓言（路加福音10:25-37）和一个审判的故事（马太福音25:31-46）有关。在这篇文章中，通过对移居欧洲的青少年的采访，对这些主题进行了学术解读。探讨这三个主题并不是为了寻求圣经对移民的规范性回应，而是考虑到移民青少年的宗教生活经历。

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.
