摘要

当格列高利大帝在书信中称自己为"上帝仆人的仆人"时,他借鉴了一个悠久的传统,用服务作为隐喻来描述适当的宗教领导和虔诚。然而,他的信件也揭示了一个充满了仆人的教堂,他们对宗教的服务既不是隐喻也不是选择,宗教机构和个人都完全依赖于他们。本文探讨了格列高利书信中作为宗教理想的服务修辞与他书信中间接揭示的服务现实之间的联系与分离。它认为,服务的修辞和现实相互影响,服务因此成为古代晚期和中世纪早期基督教的决定性行为模式。因此,格列高利的信件是一个有用的案例研究,通过它来探索教会作为一个社会嵌入机构发展的重要问题。

Servants of god?: Servi in the letters of Gregory the great
When Gregory the Great styled himself 'servant of the servants of God' in his correspondence, he was drawing on a long tradition of using service as a metaphor to describe appropriate religious leadership and piety. However, his letters also reveal a church filled with servi, whose service to religion was neither metaphorical nor chosen, and upon whom both religious institutions and individuals were utterly dependent. This article explores the conjunction and disjunction between the rhetoric of service as a religious ideal in Gregory's correspondence, and the reality of service, which his letters indirectly reveal. It argues that the rhetoric and reality of service both shaped each other and that service thereby became a determinative model of behaviour in late antique and early medieval Christianity. Gregory's letters are therefore a useful case-study through which to explore an important issue in the development of the church as a sociallyembedded institution.
