谈基督教对傈僳族文化的影响

基督教传入怒江地区后,对傈僳族等少数民族的文化产生了重大的影响。这些影响表现在:信徒行为规范,传统宗教,语言文字,姓名,婚俗,生活习俗等方面。     

西方基督教文化的宽容与不宽容问题

当代西方基督教文化实际上是一种有限宽容的文化。其主要表现是不愿与非基督教文化平等共存,强调以西方的自由民主的价值观来支配全世界。近500年来,基督教从世界上最不宽容的宗教走向有限宽容,是用许多人的生命和血的教训换来的。无疑,这种文化包含着各种美好的原则,但这些美好原则可以从不同的角度加以理解和应用。一神论、普世主义和现实经济利益的结合,使它在宣扬各种美好原则的同时,又在孜孜不倦地追求世界霸权。只要不平等的现行世界分工体系不变,它的有限宽容也很难发生实质性的变化。     

英语语言学习与西方文化影响

语言与文化是相互依存的关系,文化对语言学习的影响重大,在英语学习过程中应注意对文化渊源的了解。语言和文化有着不可分割的关系,对语言学习而言,文化意识至关重要。古希腊神话和基督教思想是西方文明的源头,深刻影响着西方文明的发展。作为语言艺术的西方文学反映和代表着西方文化。所以,了解西方文化,广泛涉猎英美文学作品,对英语学习者是十分必要的。     

试论基督教在古代发展的原因

基督教信仰从产生到今天已有两千年之久。在两千年的发展过程中,基督教从一个关注犹太民族得救的狭隘信仰演变成一种普世的宗教,其信徒也从一个弱小民族中的少数人群扩展到社会的各个阶层。基督教信仰作为一种独立的声音一直对西方乃至整个世界不断发挥影响。     

浅析黑死病对于西欧基督教会的长远影响

中世纪西欧基督教教会在应对黑死病上表现乏力,使得世俗社会对其渐生失望,并转而从神秘主义出发,寻求建立和上帝的直接联系。以此为契机,世俗社会开始在精神层面,进而在实际生活中开始摆脱教会禁锢。西欧各国世俗政权则是顺势崛起,占领了教会让位后的社会权力真空。种种世俗社会出现的新变化,为文艺复兴的到来奠定了基础。     

犹太教思想对基督教救赎观形成的影响

救赎观是基督教神学体系中的核心思想,"救"表示拯救,在末世审判时灵魂获得重生,而"赎"则表示要代价,要付代价才能救命,这里指基督以自己的血和肉为代价来为世人赎罪,其最终目的在于救助全人类。作为一种思想体系,它其中包括的原罪说、救世主观念以及末世论思想显然来自犹太教。犹太教思想对基督教救赎观形成具有重要的影响     

国民政府对贵州石门坎苗民基督教文化的改造政策

清末英国传教士来贵州石门坎传播基督教、办学校、创苗文、改良习俗,兴办公益事业等,对石门坎苗族社会文化产生深远影响,形成了以石门坎为中心辐射滇川黔边的特殊文化区域。20世纪三十年代开始,石门坎异文化引起国民政府(含地方政府)的重视,各级政府多次派人调查和视察此地,在调查研究基础上,制定政策对石门坎基督教文化进行改造,通过建立保甲制度和国民党基层党部,开发石门坎经济,发展文化教育等,推行民族同化政策。     

东方神秘宗教对基督教救赎观形成的影响

救赎观是基督教神学体系中的核心思想,"救"表示拯救,在末世审判时灵魂获得重生,而"赎"则表示要代价,要付代价才能救命,这里指基督以自己的血和肉为代价来为世人赎罪,其最终目的在于救助全人类.作为一种思想体系,其中神为了拯救信徒而复生、赎罪献祭等思想无疑受到了东方神秘主义宗教的影响.基督教救赎观不仅吸收了埃及的复活神学,而且还对日神教末日审判思想的进行了借鉴.

Christianity and Political Engagement in Post-Apartheid South Africa

Abstract

This paper focuses specifically on the impact of the Christian churches on the social, cultural and political contexts of South Africa. It considers the political role of the mainline Christian churches and their ecumenical bodies during the apartheid era. In post-apartheid South Africa, the social and political context has changed and the Christian churches relate to this new context in varied ways. The rapid growth and proliferation of Christian churches under forces of globalization to some extent undermines social cohesion and development. The traditional practice of the public gathering, or imbizo, is particularly threatened. This article therefore seeks to address the question of whether Christian institutions in a rapidly globalizing Africa are an asset or liability for promoting identity and belonging, social cohesion, and the development of social capital.     

我国改革开放以来基督教发展的原因探析

我国改革开放以来基督教得到迅猛发展,其原因主要有两个方面:从纵向看,共和国成立后的30年间,基督教经历了革新、联合、沉寂的曲折演进历程,这是它在改革开放以后得以复兴的内部因素;从横向看,改革开放后社会处于转型期,价值观念变迁、贫富差距拉大、腐败现象滋生泛滥等社会问题和基督教自身的特点对其发展亦产生了重要影响,这是促其发展的外部因素。总之,社会变革是基督教快速发展的根源,其自身的不断调适决定了它对社会正常运转发挥着积极的功能。与此同时,基督教发展的新形势、出现的新问题,也给党和政府处理宗教事务、加强自身建设提出了新的要求。     

冯玉祥与基督教关系研究

冯玉祥皈依基督教。是他追求救国救民和扩张个人权势的双重目标交织在一起的产物。对基督教的实用主义态度和皈依基督教而不媚外。是他最终科学取舍基督教的思想基础。由“基督将军”到三民主义信徒的演变,既是社会的产物．也反映了他在追求救国救民和扩张个人权势的双重目标下力图追赶中国近代政治发展潮流的复杂性和曲折性。     

Capital Shares: The Way Back into the With of Christianity

Abstract

In the ten years since the publication of Michael Hardt's and Antonio Negri's Empire, the relationship between Christianity and global capital has received increasing theological attention among the adherents, critics, sympathizersssa, and apostates of Radical Orthodoxy. At stake in this conversation is the possibility that Christianity might provide a universal ontology sufficient to ground a counter-hegemonic, specifically socialist, praxis. One question that many of these authors rarely address, however, is the extent to which Christian universalism has been responsible for the emergence of global capital in the first place. This article will address this profound split at the heart of a tradition; that is, Christianity's culpability for and resistance to global capital. To this end, "Capital Shares" sketches the aporia of Christianity's relation to Empire and then appeals to Jean-Luc Nancy's "deconstruction of Christianity"; in particular, his attempt to find "a source of Christianity, more original than Christianity itself, that might provoke another possibility to arise."     

Christianity in the Gulf during the first centuries of Islam

This article re-examines the ceramics of SBY-9, a church and monastery site on the island of Sir Bani Yas, Abu Dhabi emirate, U.A.E. It then explores other archaeological evidence for Christianity in the Arabian Gulf and compares it to the textual data, resulting in a reconsideration of the history and activities of the Church of the East. The pottery of SBY-9 indicates that the monastery complex was occupied some time between the second half of the seventh century and the mid-eighth century AD and not, as previously believed, the sixth–seventh centuries AD. Other excavated churches and monasteries in the Gulf region should also be redated to the eighth and ninth centuries AD (al-Qusur, Kharg). These findings cast a new light on the history of Christianity in the Arabian Gulf after the Muslim conquest.     

Carrying the Cross,Caring for Kin: The Everyday Life of Charismatic Christianity in Remote Aboriginal Australia

ABSTRACT In this paper, I address the important yet under‐examined role of charismatic Protestant Christianity in the reconfiguring of personhood and social relations in the remote Yolngu settlement of Galiwin'ku. I focus in particular on the ways in which this form of Christianity, locally articulated, brings together indigenous concepts of personhood with those introduced by the market, the state, and evangelism to produce what I refer to as Christian individuality and Christian relatedness. These dialectical tendencies in postcolonial settlement life call attention to the ways Yolngu converts use their Christian practices both to continue kin‐based moralities in the present and to engage (if selectively) modern individualism. This paper addresses post‐colonial conditions where demands of state institutions and modern governance interact with changing ideas of personhood and sociality. It contributes to the growing anthropological literature on Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity.     

改革开放以来的中国基督教史研究

改革开放以来,中国历史学发展的新景象之一就是中国基督教史研究的兴起。这一新兴领域的发展,首先,体现于多种研究范式的存续和转移,文化侵略、中西文化交流、现代化、全球化等范式下的研究成果体现了各自不同的解释力与学术影响。其次,则体现于研究焦点的流变,从基督教与中国社会的现代性变迁、基督教与中西关系,直到关注中国基督教自身的个性化发展,呈现了从研究基督教外围向内部移动的趋势。最后,体现于这一领域的开放性和成长性。基于中国基督教的区域史、性别史、宗教史、宗派史及人物史仍有相当的研究空间,同时随着网络资料和海外档案的获取能力加强,跨文化史料与视野下的研究,将成为这一学科新的增长点。
