摘要

本文是一篇公共神学论述,认为用于阻止 COVID-19 传播的协议,如洗手、社交疏远和遮盖面部等,都有圣经的渊源。一些观察家认为,教会领袖在重点宣传预防措施时,未能激发圣经中的希望、信心和勇气。可以说,在大流行病面前,宣传这些规程是促进圣经中的希望、信心和勇气的一种手段。在《希伯来圣经》中,祭司受命在进入会幕之前要洗手洗脚。任何疑似患有皮肤病的人都被隔离或检疫,直到检查确认疾病与否。虽然这些规定主要是为了宗教仪式和礼仪目的,但它们可能有助于阻止传染病的传播。因此,文章对《出埃及记》30:17-21 和《利未记》13:1-8、45-46 进行了注释。

A Public Theological Reflection on Biblical Antecedents of Protocols for Managing Pandemics

This article is a public theological discourse, arguing that the protocols, such as handwashing, social distancing, and face-covering, used to halt the spread of COVID-19, have biblical antecedents. Some observers contend that church leaders failed to inspire biblical hope, faith and courage when they focused on promoting the preventive protocols. It can be argued that promoting these protocols was a means of promoting biblical hope, faith, and courage in the face of the pandemic. In the Hebrew Bible, priests were commanded to wash their hands and feet before going into the tent of meeting. Isolation or quarantine was imposed on anyone with a suspected skin disease until examinations confirmed the disease or otherwise. Though these protocols were mostly for religious ceremonial and ritualistic purposes, they might have helped to halt the spread of infectious diseases. The article thus provides an exegesis of Exodus 30:17–21 and Leviticus 13:1–8, 45–46.
