Abstract

This paper argues that the theological and anthropological assumptions underlying Gregory of Nyssa's doctrine of epectasy, an understanding of our eschatological state as one of perpetual growth in the love of God, mandate a christological conclusion that many will find undesirable: there will come a time in the course of eternal life at which each of the redeemed come to love the Father more than Christ did on the cross as he offered his life for the life of the world, and more than Christ did on Easter Sunday as he conquered death.

一个基督论的复活问题

本文论证了尼萨的格列高里（Gregory of Nyssa）的 "永生"（epectasy）学说所依据的神学和人类学假设，即把我们的末世状态理解为在上帝的爱中不断成长的状态，这就注定了一个许多人都会认为不可取的基督论结论：在永生的过程中会有这样一个时刻，每个被救赎的人对天父的爱都会超过基督在十字架上为世人的生命献出生命时的爱，超过基督在复活节主日战胜死亡时的爱。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Systematic Theology has acquired a world-wide reputation for publishing high-quality academic articles on systematic theology and for substantial reviews of major new works of scholarship. Systematic theology, which is concerned with the systematic articulation of the meaning, coherence and implications of Christian doctrine, is at the leading edge of contemporary academic theology. The discipline has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last three decades, and is now firmly established as a central area of academic teaching and research.
