**课程总结：《约伯的智慧》** 本课程深入探讨了《约伯记》这部古老而深刻的文本，挑战了“义人得赏，恶人受罚”的传统观念。课程从以色列人的宗教生活和神的公正性展开，探讨了义人得不到赏报、恶人反而兴旺所带来的神学挑战。通过引用《诗篇》、《以赛亚书》和《智慧篇》等文本，课程为理解苦难这一复杂问题提供了多角度的视角。 课程详细分析了《约伯记》的作者、罪与苦难的神学，并深入剖析了开篇的序言。序言部分揭示了义人约伯的兴衰，以及 Satan 与 YHWH 的打赌，探讨了约伯因义而得的福祉是否会因失去一切而改变。约伯在初期平静地接受了考验，但前来安慰他的三个朋友最终却指责他因罪而遭受苦难。约伯则坚决否认自己有罪，甚至质疑作为审判者的上帝。然而，他始终坚信上帝是公义的审判者，终将作出正确的判决。最终，上帝 vindicated 了约伯的无辜，并因着他的信心称义了他。 课程还阐释了《约伯记》中的智慧诗歌，强调了智慧完全属于上帝。Elihu 的演讲揭示了苦难的教育意义，它能除去人的骄傲，使人更亲近上帝。YHWH 的演讲则展现了上帝创造的宏伟，与之相比，人类在上帝的护理中是微不足道的。尽管世界上存在着苦难的奥秘，但对承受苦难的人来说，拥有上帝已足够。序言的结尾描述了约伯的复原，并指出上帝的赏赐是出于恩典，而非义行。 课程中还引入了 Barth 和 Jung 对《约伯记》的解读。Barth 将约伯视为忠实的见证者，强调上帝并未亏欠约伯，约伯作为自由人，并不知道上帝与 Satan 之间的赌约。Jung 则将《约伯记》视为神话或意象，并认为上帝为了不保护约伯而打破了与他的盟约，显得有些喜怒无常。 最后，课程将苦难视为信心和代赎的考验，并联系《智慧篇》第五章，探讨了来生。课程还指出，耶稣基督为我们提供了对现世和来世苦难的更深层次的理解。 **课程模块介绍：** * **第一章： 当上帝是你仅有的依靠（约伯记 1-2）**——设定苦难问题。 * **第二章： 攀上人类资源的顶峰（约伯记 3-7）**——探索人类智慧和情感的极限。 * **第三章： 透过模糊的镜子（约伯记 19）**——探讨恩典的可能性。 * **第四章： 拓展您的视野（约伯记 31-38）**——领略上帝宇宙的宏大图景。 * **第五章： 在苦难的世界中找到上帝（约伯记 42）**——避免简单的解答。 * **第六章： 总结** * **第七章： 下一步？**
1. Introduction: Why Study Job? The Wisdom Context/ The Pastoral Context/ The Theological Context: Overview The course is developed in contrast to the conventional idea that the righteous is always rewarded and the wicked is always punished. It begins with an introduction about the development of the religious life of the Israelites in relation to the justice of God. God's justice appeared to be challenged when it was realized that the wicked triumphed in undeserved prosperity. The Psalmists lamented over the undeserved prosperity of the wicked. Isaiah 55, the vicarious sufferer and the book of Wisdom Chapter 5 are introduced to throw more light on the whole problem of suffering. The authorship of the book of Job, and the theology of sin and suffering follow. The prologue is introduced to provide a discussion about the prosperity of the righteous. Satan enters into a wager with Yahweh whether Job earns his prosperity by means of his righteousness. Job is stripped of his prosperity and of his honour to see what consequence this might bring. Job at first accepts the challenge calmly without argument, but his three friends who come to console him, turn against him and accuse him of committing sin that is why he is suffering. Job replies that he has not sinned. He even brings charges against God as a Judge. Job establishes his firm faith in God; since God is a righteous Judge, He will in the end pronounce the right judgement. At the last God vindicates Job of his innocence and justifies him by his faith. The wisdom poem shows that wisdom belongs to God. The Elihu speeches show among other truths that suffering is educative, for it humbles pride and draws man nearer God. The Yahweh speeches show that there are mighty things in creation compared with, which man is infinitesimal in God's providential care, and that though there are mysteries in the world, including suffering. it is enough for man in his suffering to have God. The epilogue describes the restoration of the prosperity of Job and shows that God rewards man by grace and not by righteousness. Barth discusses Job as a faithful witness and emphasizes that God was not under obligation to Job and Job acted as a free agent; he did not know the argument between God and Satan. Jung describes the book of Job as a myth or an image and presents God as capricious in breaking his covenant for not protecting Job. The conclusion deals with suffering as a test of faith and as vicarious, with reference to life after death in Wisdom Chapter 5. It indicates how Jesus gives a better understanding of suffering on earth and in life hereafter.2. When God is all you have left (Job 1,2) Setting the Problem3.
