Abstract

Abstract In Paul’s communication to the Corinthian community, we find his reference to Jesus’ absolute prohibition of divorce as he seeks to rebuke some Corinthians’ desire to divorce for the sake of their ascetic pursuit. Following this enlistment of the authority of “the Lord” (1 Cor 7:10), Paul curiously offers his own instruction which contradicts Jesus’. Drawing on insights from the Roman and the Jewish contexts as well as the Foucauldian notion of power, this article argues that Paul is claiming to himself the power and the status of a paterfamilias. His divergence from Jesus’ prohibition of divorce stems from his possible concerns as the paterfamilias of the Corinthian community.

保罗在哥林多前书7:10-16中与耶稣禁止离婚的分歧

摘要在保罗与哥林多社区的交流中，我们发现他提到了耶稣绝对禁止离婚，因为他试图谴责一些哥林多人为了追求禁欲主义而离婚的愿望。在获得“主”的权威之后（哥林多前书7:10），保罗奇怪地提出了自己的指示，这与耶稣的指示相矛盾。本文从罗马和犹太的背景以及福柯式的权力观中汲取了深刻的见解，认为保罗对自己声称拥有权力和家长的地位。他与耶稣禁止离婚的分歧源于他作为哥林多社区家长的可能担忧。

期刊介绍： Open Theology is an international Open Access, peer-reviewed academic journal that welcomes contributions written in English addressing religion in its various forms and aspects: historical, theological, sociological, psychological, and other. The journal encompasses all major disciplines of Theology and Religious Studies, presenting doctrine, history, organization and everyday life of various types of religious groups and the relations between them. We publish articles from the field of Theology as well as Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and also dialogue between Religion and Science. The Open Theology does not present views of any particular theological school nor of a particular religious organization. The contributions are written by researchers who represent different religious views. The authors present their research concerning the old religious traditions as well as new religious movements. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. The journal seeks also to provide researchers, pastors and other interested persons with the fruits of academic studies.
