Abstract

Original sin was one of the contentious issues that stood at the heart of the Catholic- Pelagian debate in the early 400’s. In recent years, patristic scholars have sought to uncover Cyril of Alexandria’s (376–444 CE) position on this central Catholic teaching. This essay proposes that scholars have overlooked an important indicator of Cyril’s view on this matter, that is, his multi-paged critique of the theological doctrine of parental sin that appears in his Commentary to the Gospel of John (9:1–3). I will argue that just as the debate over parental sin played an explicit and central role in the Augustinian-Pelagian debates on original sin, so too the debate over parental sin could shed some light on Cyril’s attitude toward original sin.

亚历山大的西里尔对“犹太人”父母之罪的批判

原罪是一个有争议的问题，站在天主教Pelagian辩论的核心在400年代初。近年来，爱国主义学者试图揭示亚历山大的西里尔（公元376–444年）对这一天主教核心教义的立场。本文认为，学者们忽略了西里尔在这一问题上观点的一个重要指标，即他在《约翰福音评注》（9:1-3）中对父母罪神学教义的多页批判。我认为，正如关于父母罪的辩论在奥古斯丁-佩拉吉关于原罪的辩论中发挥了明确和核心的作用一样，关于父母罪问题的辩论也可以揭示西里尔对原罪的态度。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
