摘要

这篇文章试图强调多重的、日常的、个人的背景对莫汉达斯·k·甘地的圣经注释的重要影响。这篇文章的重点是甘地对浪子寓言的解释(路加福音15:11-32)，特别询问为什么甘地的解读偏离了寓言的字面意义。虽然甘地独特的解释最明显的原因是他的非暴力抵抗哲学，但在这一呼吁背后，有几个更精确的背景似乎有助于甘地将非暴力抵抗作为解释寓言的关键。这些背景包括甘地在1920年中期面临的政治紧急情况;他与儿子哈里拉尔的关系;以及他的一位对话者纳拉扬·钱德拉瓦卡爵士的简介。这篇文章强调了这些不同的个人背景的重要性，这些背景融合在一起，帮助塑造了甘地的解释，并以甘地的圣经训诂学的进一步研究以及更广泛地在全球南方的启示结束。

Gandhi and the Parable of the Prodigal Son

This essay seeks to emphasize the important bearing which multiple and quotidian, personal contexts have on the biblical exegesis of Mohandas K. Gandhi. The essay focuses on Gandhi’s interpretation of the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32), asking in particular why Gandhi’s reading departs from the parable’s literal sense. While the most evident reason for Gandhi’s distinctive interpretation is his philosophy of satyagraha or non-violent resistance, there emerge behind this appeal, several more precise contexts that plausibly contributed to Gandhi conceiving of satyagraha as the parable’s interpretive key. These contexts included political exigencies that Gandhi faced in mid-1920; his relationship with his son Harilal; and the profile of one of his interlocutors, Sir Narayan Chandavarkar. This essay emphasizes the importance of such varied and personal contexts that merge to help shape Gandhi’s interpretation, and closes with implications for further study of biblical exegesis by Gandhi and more generally in the global south.

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
