课程名称：在创造的世界中认识神 课程概述：几百年来，人们一直在思考我们可以基于所生活的世界中的证据了解多少关于神的信息。神学家和哲学家们以自然神学的名义探讨这个问题，取得过或大或小的成功。N.T. Wright教授主张，忠实地回答这个问题需要将耶稣重新置于问题的中心。该课程探讨的思路旨在通过对现代西方历史观及其作为探究领域的有效性的深入调查，来实现这一目标。通过学习关于神的知识，我们也可能对自然世界的认知及其本质有新的理解。 在课程中，Wright教授： - 定义自然神学及其所经历的辩论。 - 分析并消解自启蒙时代以来的思维方式，这些方式几乎使得主动神的概念变得不可思议。 - 探讨历史与自然世界的关系。历史是什么？它如何影响我们对神的认知？我们又是如何知道这些的？ - 研究福音书中的事件，作为历史证据，是否能够为自然神学提出必要的问题提供平台。 - 深入探讨我们如何理解历史，从而引出关于如何“认识”的更根本的问题，进而发展出一种“爱的认识论”。 本课程涵盖了较为高级的内容，这些内容最初于2018年由Wright教授在阿伯丁大学的吉福德讲座中探讨，标题为《辨识黎明：历史、末世论与新创造》。这些讲座随后扩展并以书籍形式发布，名为《历史与末世论：耶稣与自然神学的承诺》。 在本课程的第一部分中，Wright教授将探讨该书前半部分的主要主题，内容被分解为便于理解的15-20分钟视频讲座，学生可以在线或在Udemy移动应用上观看或收听。我们鼓励学生根据自己的进度进行学习，并查阅提供的补充资源，包括测验、索引、概念图、词汇表和反思提示。课程尽力澄清历史思想和假设的全面调查，以便学生能够看到过去的神学辩论如何影响我们今天的生活和神学。
For hundreds of years, people have wondered what we can know about God based on the evidence of the world in which we live. Theologians and philosophers have pondered this question under the name of Natural Theology, with greater or lesser success. Prof. N.T. Wright asserts that to answer this question with fidelity requires putting Jesus back in the middle of the question. The line of thought explored in this course seeks to do just that, through a thoroughgoing investigation into modern Western attitudes about history and its validity as a domain of inquiry. The result being that in learning something about God we might also learn a thing or two about our knowledge of the natural world, and about the nature of our knowledge.Along the way, Prof. Wright:Defines Natural Theology and the debates which have sustained it.Breaks down and dispels the ways of thinking since the Enlightenment which have made the idea of an active God all but unthinkable.Asks how history fits into a picture of the natural world. What is history? How can it inform how and what we know about God? How we know at all?Explores whether the events of the Gospels, seen as historical evidence, might provide a platform from which to ask necessary questions of Natural Theology.Probes how we understand history, giving way to even more fundamental questions of how we ‘know' at all, leading into a theory of an ‘epistemology of love'.This course covers thoroughly advanced material, first explored in 2018 when Prof. Wright delivered the prestigious Gifford Lectures at Aberdeen University under the title Discerning the Dawn: History, Eschatology, and New Creation. These lectures were subsequently expanded and published in book form as History and Eschatology: Jesus and the Promise of Natural Theology.In Part One of this planned two-part course, Prof. Wright covers major themes from the first half of this book, broken down into accessible, 15-20 minutes video lectures which you can watch or listen to, online or on the Udemy mobile app.We encourage students to proceed through this course at their own pace, and consult the supplementary resources provided, including quizzes, indexes, concept diagrams, glossaries, and reflection prompts. Every effort has been made to clarify the thorough survey of historical ideas and hypotheses so that students might see how theological debates of the past still affect our life and theology today.
