Abstract

Does maintaining that the Kingdom was central to Jesus’ ministry put one at odds with atonement theology? Some contemporary theologians have argued that these are mutually exclusive options, requiring one to choose between atonement theology and the Kingdom's centrality in Jesus’ ministry. Lending credence to this claim is the fact that some advocates of atonement theology have provided accounts that suggest such a dichotomy might in fact be the case. This essay investigates one such example. As a hopeful contribution to this discussion, this essay first explores how the Kingdom and atonement appear in Mark's presentation of Jesus. In addition to investigating some of the relevant Markan passages, this essay draws from the work of Schweitzer and Hengel to contend that it is indeed possible to affirm the centrality of the Kingdom in Jesus’ proclamation and still believe his death on the cross has an atoning function that serves the Kingdom's arrival.

耶稣的国度与赎罪神学:是敌是友?

坚持国度是耶稣事工的中心，是否与赎罪神学相矛盾?一些当代神学家认为，这些是相互排斥的选择，要求人们在赎罪神学和王国在耶稣事工中的中心地位之间做出选择。一些赎罪神学的倡导者提供的说法表明，这种二分法实际上可能是事实，这一事实为这种说法提供了证据。本文调查了这样一个例子。作为对这个讨论的一个有希望的贡献，这篇文章首先探讨了天国和赎罪是如何在马可对耶稣的描述中出现的。除了调查一些相关的Markan段落外，本文还从Schweitzer和Hengel的作品中得出结论，认为确实有可能肯定耶稣在宣讲中王国的中心地位，并且仍然相信他在十字架上的死亡具有为王国的到来服务的赎罪功能。
