摘要

这本书的力量在于它对每一卷圣经的结构的仔细关注,以及重复的单词和短语,这些单词和短语无疑在传达意义方面发挥了作用。博格曼和克拉克的方法主要是总结每本书的整个叙述,并用解释性注释吸引人们对重要特征和主题的注意。他们使用标题、要点、交错的轮廓和其他结构来说明故事讲述的关键方面,他们认为,当大声朗读时,听众会很明显,因为这些早期的圣经叙事无疑是有意为之的。结果是对福音书和使徒行传进行了相当全面的处理,提供了一个统一的路线图,特别是对于不熟悉近年来学者们通过修辞和文学方法提出的观点的读者。然而,这本书不可避免的讽刺之处在于,这个充满激情的“聆听”福音信息的课程完全是通过书面指示来呈现的。这本书没有明确的指示来执行文本,甚至没有鼓励这样做。事实上,它几乎没有提及圣经表演批评这一新兴领域,也没有提及可以为博格曼和克拉克的方法提供启发的大量资源。“听觉线索”在书中占据了相当大的篇幅,但博格曼和克拉克并没有说明他们将这些线索视为听觉现象,与将它们视为基本文学或修辞分析中的关键词有什么不同。“听觉线索”的标准并不明确;他们的听觉独特性被认为是理所当然的,但从未被证明过。这本书几乎没有提到原文中希腊单词的实际发音。这本书的一般性质也许可以解释为什么作者会避免使用高度技术性的方法来讨论音韵学问题(例如,人们会想到伯纳德·布兰登·斯科特和玛格丽特·艾伦·李的开创性作品《声音映射新约》),然而,为什么他们至少没有向读者介绍这一领域的相关见解,这令人费解。这本书最好是用来作为参考工作的人研究文本的福音书和使徒行传在准备讲道写作或圣经研究。这本书的组织使我们很容易探索特定的段落和它们在更大的圣经书中的作用,它们是其中的一部分。一些读者可能会体验到一个启示,在处理每一个福音作为一个独特的,独立的故事讲述与统一的信息。然而,每章中扩展的总结和解释的重量似乎更适合作为评论使用。在很多方面,它的功能类似于20世纪80年代和90年代出现的众多对福音书的叙事处理,或者《阅读新约》评论系列,所有卷的副标题都是“文学和神学评论”。博格曼和克拉克的许多观察都很有见地,发人深省。这些材料通常在批判性学者广泛分享的观点范围内,尽管针对更受欢迎的受众的焦点导致与其他学者的实质性对话很少。这本书的布局很有吸引力,很容易浏览,它将成为福音书和使徒行传的实用指南,能够为他们独特的信息提供新的见解和观点。

Randall Price with H. Wayne House, Zondervan Handbook of Biblical Archaeology
The strength of the book is its careful attention to the structure of each biblical book and the repeated words and phrases that undoubtedly serve a role in conveying meaning. The method of Borgman and Clark is primarily to summarize virtually the entire narrative of each book, with explanatory notes drawing attention to important features and themes. They use headings, bullet points, and outlines of chiasms and other structures to illustrate critical aspects of the telling of the stories that they argue would be apparent to hearers when read aloud, as these early biblical narratives were undoubtedly intended. The result is a fairly comprehensive treatment of the Gospels and Acts that offers a unifying road map through them, especially for readers unfamiliar with perspectives scholars have advanced in recent years through rhetorical and literary approaches. The inescapable irony of the book, however, is that this passionate lesson in “hearing” the gospel message is presented entirely by means of written instructions. The book has no explicit directions for performing the text, or even encouragement to do so. In fact, it contains scarcely any reference to the burgeoning field of biblical performance criticism and its considerable resources that would shine light on Borgman’s and Clark’s approach. References to “hearing cues” make up a significant portion of the book, but Borgman and Clark do little to demonstrate how their treatment of these cues as auditory phenomena differs from consideration of them as key words in a basic literary or rhetorical analysis. The criteria for “hearing cues” are unclear; their auditory distinctiveness is taken for granted but never demonstrated. The book makes almost no reference to the actual sound of the Greek words in the original texts. The volume’s general nature might explain why the authors would avoid a highly technical approach to discussing phonological matters (one thinks, e.g., of Bernard Brandon Scott and Margaret Ellen Lee’s groundbreaking work in Sound Mapping the New Testament), and yet why they have not at least introduced their readers to relevant insights in this area is puzzling. This volume might best be utilized as a reference work for persons studying texts in the Gospels and Acts in preparation for sermon writing or Bible study. The organization of the book makes it easy to explore particular passages and their function within the larger biblical book of which they are a part. Some readers may experience a revelation in the treatment of each Gospel as a unique, self-contained telling of the story with a unified message. The weight of the extended summary and explanation in each chapter, however, would seem to commend itself more to use as a commentary.

The material is generally within the range of views widely shared by critical scholarship, although the focus intended for a more popular audience results in minimal substantive conversation with other scholars. The layout of the book is attractive and easy to navigate, and it will serve as a practical guide to the Gospels and Acts, capable of offering fresh insights and perspectives on their distinctive messages.
