Abstract

This article examines Albert the Great's interpretation of John 1:7 concerning John the Baptist: “He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.” Commenting on this verse, Albert develops the idea that the metaphysical approach to God, according to which the notion of God is purified of all sensory images, must be completed by a method that is more connatural to the human being: testimonial knowledge, that is, relying on the senses and imagination, using the metaphors that God himself has suggested through his revelation. Albert's reading of John 1:7 is found to be in continuity with key ideas elsewhere in his oeuvre.

形而上学与阿尔贝大帝的证学

这篇文章考察了阿尔伯特大帝对约翰福音1:7关于施洗约翰的解释:“他来为见证，就是为光作见证，叫众人因他可以信。”在评论这一节时，阿尔伯特提出了这样一种观点，即形而上学地接近上帝，根据这种方法，上帝的概念被所有感官图像净化，必须通过一种对人类更自然的方法来完成:证言知识，也就是说，依靠感官和想象，使用上帝自己通过他的启示提出的隐喻。人们发现阿尔伯特对约翰福音1:7的解读与他作品中其他地方的关键思想是一致的。

期刊介绍： The TRADITIO Network has now been furnishing information about all facets of traditional Roman Catholicism, answering questions both privately and publicly, for over 13 years now, longer than any other traditional site on the Internet. When we started, even the Vatican site didn"t exist! We wish that we could show you all of the personal letters we have received from troubled souls who have found here clear, traditional, and honest answers to their questions, free of organizational bias. Thousands of these have reverted or converted to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith as a result.
