聖經中的明白易懂(摘引自《論意志的被綑綁》)
當然,我承認聖經中有許多經文是模糊難解而且深奧無比的,但是,這並不是因為這些經文本身高不可攀,而是因為我們對這些經文所用之字彙與文法的無知。…

讀書雜感20061130
最近還是繼續為著畢業在打拼,讀到一段關於Zwingli聖餐觀中的一個Key Point:受造物與創造主之間的區分(不過忘了是在哪本書>.<),所以Zwingli在此前提下,勢必是會拒絕真實臨在。不過,我最近倒是有另一個角度的被啟發,就是當Zwingli用物理空間的概念來理解「上帝的右邊」時,事實上就是混淆了受造物與創造主之間的區分。不知道有沒有其他人發表過類似的看法?
另外,Gavin在他的博士論文"Luther's use of 'the humanity of Jesus' in the eucharistic controversy of the 1520's"中,也指出屬性相通(communicatio idiomatum)其實才是真正保持了受造物與創造者的區分,不過這個論證過程我還得再細細研究。

晚上的專題分享
今天晚上要去中山醫學大學信望愛團契分享專題:「馬丁路德」,雖然我是專研路德神學的神碩學生,可是介紹馬丁路德倒是人生頭一遭。
其實我對路德的瞭解十分有限,雖然修過兩年的路德神學相關課程,但是還是自覺相當有限,特別是對他的生平,有不少部分還是感到相當陌生。更何況是要做介紹呢?不過,既然答應了邀請,還是得勉力而為,希望不要造成誤導才好。=.=
至於我自己最後為路德所提供的定位看法:「既是神學家牧者,也是牧者神學家」,我個人覺得還算中肯,而這也是我對自己未來的期許。

【摘譯】Luther's Eucharistic Sermon in Easter Monday of 1524
Hence when you feel your weakness, you ought to go and say: My Lord, I have fallen. I want to be strong. Now thou hast instituted the Lord's Supper for us to kindle and strengthen our faith thereby and that we might be thus helped. So here I am and wish to receive it. This should be our comfort and we ought joyfull yo use the Word and the sacraments when we feel our lack of faith, and rejoice to receive aid to seek help and strength.
因此,當你感到軟弱時,你應當前去並說:「我主!我已然墜落,我要強壯。現在你已經為我們設立聖餐,來鼓舞、強化我們的信心,而我們也必得著幫助。因此我在此盼望領受它。」

"Remembrance" in Luther's Eucharistic Writings (continued)
Christ has sacrificed himself once [Heb. 7:27, 9:25-26]; henceforth he will not
be sacrified by anyone else. He wished us to remember his sacrifice. Why are you
then so bold as to make a sacrifice out of this remembrance? Is it possible that

then so bold as to make a sacrifice out of this remembrance? Is it possible that

"Remembrance" in Luther's Eucharistic Writings (continued)
We know, however, that it is the Lord's Supper, in name and in reality, not the
supper of Christians. For the Lord not only instituted it, but also prepares and
gives it himself, and is himself cook, bulter, food, and drink, as we have
supper of Christians. For the Lord not only instituted it, but also prepares and
gives it himself, and is himself cook, bulter, food, and drink, as we have

In this way the dear Lord desired to preserve the remembrance of himself, the
