Clarity in Faith, How the Finite Faces the Infinite

宗教信仰中的通透不是把神圣对象完全解释清楚,而是人在有限性中形成的清醒。人知道自己不能完全掌控命运,不能彻底解释苦难,也不能靠理性把死亡、罪、空性、救赎或终极意义全部说明白,但人仍然可以在信仰中获得方向,承担责任,并重新安顿自己的生命。从这个意义上说,信仰中的通透是可能的,但它不是知识性的完全通透,而是存在性的通透。

耶稣复活、理性与信仰,以及东方与土著智慧的出路The Resurrection of Jesus, Reason and Faith, and a Pathway via Eastern and Indigenous Wisdom

我们从《约翰福音》的内容谈起,逐步进入“耶稣复活是否真实”“信仰与理性的冲突”“普通基督徒与学者如何面对”等问题。最后,我也提出一个方向:或许需要回到更基础的认知框架,如澳洲原住民的文化与东方道家思想,来回应现代社会不可持续的发展困境。

新约圣经研读笔记-约翰福音第21章New Testament Study Notes – Gospel of John, Chapter 21

By the Sea of Galilee, Jesus appears to his disciples for the third time, granting them a miraculous catch and sharing breakfast with them. He restores Peter by asking three times, “Do you love me?” and commands him to feed his sheep, predicting his future martyrdom. When Peter inquires about the beloved disciple’s future, Jesus emphasizes that Peter must simply follow him. The Gospel closes affirming the truth of its testimony, noting that Jesus’ works far exceed what could be recorded.

新约圣经研读笔记-约翰福音第20章New Testament Study Notes – Gospel of John, Chapter 20

Early on the first day, Mary Magdalene finds the empty tomb and later sees the risen Jesus, who sends her to tell the disciples. That evening, Jesus appears to his disciples, giving them peace and the Holy Spirit. Thomas doubts until he sees and touches Jesus’ wounds, then confesses, “My Lord and my God.” Jesus blesses those who believe without seeing. The author states his purpose: that readers may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and have life in his name.
