Abstract

One can easily argue that Protestant attitudes toward a doctrine of the created order have permitted, if not exacerbated or even promoted, the environmental abuses that have produced the current climate that threatens human existence. An essential starting point for believers, individually and as members of the body of Christ, will be the recovery or construction of a sound theology of creation rooted in biblical tradition. This essay examines the deficit in Protestant thought in this critical realm by first tracing the history of Protestant attitudes toward creation as expressed specifically in a distrust of so-called “natural law”/revelation/theology (how we got here) and then by examining contemporary Protestant thinking (where we are), before outlining a modest proposal for correcting the deficit (where we can go).
呼吁复兴新教的自然神学
人们可以很容易地争辩说,新教对创造秩序教义的态度,即使没有加剧甚至促进,也允许了环境滥用,这些滥用造成了当前威胁人类生存的气候。对于信徒来说,无论是作为个人还是作为基督身体的一员,一个重要的出发点将是恢复或构建一个根植于圣经传统的健全的创造神学。本文考察了新教思想在这一批判领域的缺陷,首先追溯了新教徒对创造的态度的历史,具体表现为对所谓“自然法则”/启示/神学的不信任(我们是如何到达这里的),然后考察了当代新教思想(我们在哪里),然后概述了纠正缺陷的适度建议(我们可以去哪里)。
