Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to explore and critique Wolfhart Pannenberg’s use of semiotic concepts in his understanding and explanation of the church. He defines the church as “the fellowship of individual believers,” and a “sign of the future fellowship of humanity under God’s reign,” i. e. the future Kingdom of God. As he continues to articulate his doctrine of the church, Pannenberg employs semiotic concepts to articulate this notion of the church as a sign of the Kingdom of God. In this paper, I aim to explore Pannenberg’s use of semiotic concepts as they concern his understanding of the church and provide critique and a new way forward of understanding the church as a sign of the Kingdom of God. Though Pannenberg is right to employ semiotic concepts and terminology to expound upon and clarify this concept, he is wrong in the semiotic model of the sign and approach he chooses to employ. In what follows, I first summarize and explicate Pannenberg’s semiotic understanding of the church, and then I provide a critique and corrective of his semiotic preferences with the semiotic work of American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.

Wolfhart Pannenberg的教会符号主义：一种皮尔斯式的修正

摘要本文旨在探讨和批评Wolfhart Pannenberg在理解和解释教会时使用符号学概念。他将教会定义为“个人信徒的友谊”，以及“上帝统治下人类未来友谊的标志”，即未来的上帝王国。当潘能伯格继续阐述他的教会教义时，他运用符号学概念来阐述教会作为上帝王国象征的概念。在本文中，我的目的是探索潘嫩伯格对符号学概念的使用，因为这些概念涉及他对教堂的理解，并为理解教堂作为上帝王国的标志提供批评和新的途径。尽管潘能伯格使用符号学概念和术语来阐述和澄清这一概念是正确的，但他选择使用的符号学模型和方法是错误的。在下文中，我首先总结和阐述了潘嫩伯格对教堂的符号学理解，然后用美国哲学家查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔斯的符号学作品对他的符号偏好进行了批判和纠正。
