Abstract

What can we define as evil in the twenty-first century? Paganism had no devil figure, only trickster gods. It was monotheism that personified evil as Satan, although by the mid-twentieth century, Satanism was recognised as an alternative religion with its own churches. Can we point at individuals whose intentions were not diabolical, but the outcome of which had a negative impact? Perhaps such changes can be attributed to an ideology or the rise of science? Or perhaps evil occurs when too many people close their eyes to what is happening around them, while goodness is taking responsibility for the world in which we live?

21世纪的邪恶

在二十一世纪，我们可以把什么定义为邪恶？异教徒没有魔鬼，只有骗子神。正是一神教将邪恶人格化为撒旦，尽管到了20世纪中期，撒旦教被认为是一种有自己教会的另类宗教。我们能指出那些意图不是恶魔般的，但其结果产生了负面影响的人吗？也许这种变化可以归因于意识形态或科学的兴起？或者，当太多人对周围发生的事情视而不见，而善良却在为我们生活的世界负责时，邪恶就会发生？

期刊介绍： This journal is the first of its kind to be published in Britain. While it does not restrict itself to the work of feminist theologians and thinkers in these islands, Feminist Theology aims to give a voice to the women of Britain and Ireland in matters of theology and religion. Feminist Theology, while academic in its orientation, is deliberately designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers, whether theologically trained or not. Its discussion of contemporary issues is not narrowly academic, but sets those issues in a practical perspective.
