摘要

圣经》被认为是一本中立的书，是上帝的话语，或包含上帝的话语。这种理解和认识使传教士能够以不利于和压迫 "皈依者 "的方式解释《圣经》。显然，神学是一种理性的话语形式，会对接受者产生影响。因此，《圣经》摧毁了非洲的社会文化世界。本文旨在缩小讨论范围，重点关注南部非洲联合改革教会（URCSA）中的一夫多妻制问题。文章以《教会教规》为论据，澄清了南部非洲联合归正会的立场。文章认为，《圣经》在非洲的不受欢迎程度以及传教士的 "解释 "造成了非洲基督徒文化上的两极分化，并将一夫多妻制妖魔化。

Unsuspicious reception of Biblical discourse in Africa and its implications for polygamy

The Bible has been conceived and received as a neutral book, as the Word of God, or as containing the Word of God. This understanding and perception enabled missionaries to interpret the Bible in such a way that it disadvantaged and oppressed the “converts”. It should be clear that theology is a form of rational discourse, with consequences for the recipient. As a result, the Bible has destroyed the sociocultural world of Africa. The article aims to narrow down the discussion and focus on the issue of polygamy in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA). The Church Order is used as a point of argument to clarify the URCSA’s position. The article argues that the unsuspicious reception of the Bible in Africa and the “interpretation” by missionarieshas created a cultural bipolarity for African Christians and demonised polygamy.
