摘要

4q暗兰的异象经常被认为是代表人类选择或某种“自由选择”神学的文本。这种解释的基础是一段有趣的段落,大多数学者——除了少数值得注意的例外——将其解读为邀请暗拉姆选择自己的位置,这两个存在分别被描述为光明和黑暗的统治者。以佩兰对主导阅读持怀疑态度的呼吁为线索,本文重新审视了这段话及其背景,并从多个角度质疑了标准解读。它讨论了这段幸存的文本,发现通常的重建有问题,并提出了一些其他可能的重建。它认为,这篇文章的其他部分与人类选择的概念无关。相反,决定论思想似乎扮演着更重要的角色,特别是如果4Q542(《圣训》)被视为作品的一部分,就像最近提出的那样。此外,文章对暗拉姆的异象和阿维斯陀的亚斯纳之间的相似性给出了一个批判性的评价。书中讨论了人的选择和神的决定论之间关系的各个方面,得出的结论是,选择往往不像看起来那么“自由”。

Did Amram have a choice? Divine determinism and human choice in 4QVisions of Amram
4QVisions of Amram has often been presented as a text that stands for human choice or some kind of “free choice” theology. The basis for this interpretation is an intriguing passage that most scholars—with a few notable exceptions—read as an invitation to Amram to choose his own position in relation to two beings who are described as the rulers of light and darkness, respectively. Taking its cue from Perrin’s call for a skeptical stance toward the dominant reading, the article reexamines the passage and its context and questions the standard interpretation from various angles. It discusses the surviving text of the passage, finds the usual reconstruction problematic, and proposes a number of other possible reconstructions. It argues that other parts of the composition are not concerned with the notion of human choice. Rather, deterministic thoughts seem to play a more prominent role, especially if 4Q542 (Testament of Qahat) is seen as part of the work, as has been recently proposed. In addition, the article gives a critical evaluation of the suggested resemblance between Visions of Amram and the Avestan Yasna 30. Various aspects of the relationship between human choice and divine determinism are discussed, leading to the conclusion that choice is often less “free” than it may seem to be.

期刊介绍: The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
