课程名称:邪恶问题:宗教面临的巨大挑战 本课程探讨西方一神教信仰中一个根本性的问题——邪恶问题。我们如何证明一个全能、全知、全善的神在面对世间的苦难时是正当的?这便是我们所熟知的“神义论”。 课程将聚焦于西方神学传统,特别是犹太教的视角,深入剖析为何一个至善的神会允许充满苦难的世界存在。我们将从《约伯记》入手,接着探索犹太教拉比们对邪恶问题的解决之道。 在这个过程中,我们将审视神学信仰中的基本假设。例如,玛拉比 Harold Kushner(《好人为何会遭遇不幸》作者)提出的观点——神可能并非全能。先知以赛亚也曾提出,神创造了善与恶,这挑战了神的全善性。 另外,课程还将深入探讨邪恶本身的议题。我们将区分**人为的邪恶**(源于人类的自由意志)与**自然的邪恶**(源于一个仍在发展、尚未完全创造的世界)。 在梳理了这些神学议题后,课程将转向更具实践意义的层面:作为个体,我们应如何应对生活中的邪恶与苦难。
The problem of evil is a fundamental question in the theistic religions of the West. Justifying God in the face of evil is known as theodicy. We will study the problem of evil in the eyes of Western theistic religions, particularly Judaism. If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, how could God allow a world filled with suffering. We will seek answers both in Jewish tradition and more generally, in Western tradition. After looking a the book of Job, we will explore rabbinic approaches to the problem of evil. This discussion will question each of these fundamental assumptions of the theistic religions. Perhaps God is not all-powerful, as suggested by Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Perhaps God is not all good, an idea already suggested in the Bible by the prophet Isaiah. He writes that God created good and evil. Or perhaps we need to look more carefully at the issue of evil itself. There is human evil, a result of human free will. And there is natural evil, the result of a world in process, not fully created. After exploring these theological issues, we will turn to more practical questions. How can we as human beings deal with the evil in our lives?
