Abstract

As interest in medicine and religion has grown, some have called for a more fervent and explicit “witnessing” by Christian physicians in their practices. This essay presents a theological understanding of witness and how this theology might be applied to the case of Christian witness in health care. Witness must be understood first linguistically as encompassing two nouns and two verbs, all of which have theological meaning. Based on linguistic, scriptural, and theological reflection, suggestions are made regarding how physicians and the Church can both witness Christ and give witness to Christ in the care of the sick. This theological exploration offers new insight into what it means to witness and to heal as a Christian.
基督教在医疗保健中的见证
随着人们对医学和宗教的兴趣日益浓厚,一些人呼吁基督教医生在他们的实践中进行更热烈、更明确的“见证”。这篇文章提出了见证的神学理解,以及这种神学如何应用于基督教见证在医疗保健的情况。见证人必须首先从语言学上理解为包含两个名词和两个动词,它们都有神学意义。基于语言学,圣经和神学的反思,提出了关于医生和教会如何在照顾病人的过程中见证基督并为基督作见证的建议。这一神学探索为我们提供了一个新的视角,让我们明白作为一个基督徒,见证和医治意味着什么。
