后现代生命神学与当代科学精神
Post-Modern Theology of Life and The Modren Scientific Mind
【摘要】 圣经文化越来越关注生命技术,认为它不仅是科学问题也是神学问题。继续和哲学一起为科学技术提供世界观。宗教使技术与社会相互作用的背景更加复杂化。人工授精、行为控制、器官移植、性别选择、美容、尸解、安乐死等常常引起基督教内部激烈争论,并成为影响这些技术增长的恒定原因之一。生命神学不仅是一项重要的神学话题,也是评判神学研究水平的标准之一。生命伦理学为走向后现代的生命神学提供了道德根据。生命伦理学从诞生到进入后现代社会,必然快速经历重要转折。后现代生命神学的兴起,则是这一转折的前奏,它不仅是基督教神学适应技术时代的历史必然,更是人类在新的科学和文化背景下自身进化的需要。
【Abstract】 A kind of awakening theology makes religion and medicine go to a new type of cooperation and supplement. It views the human beings as the centre of the world and makes theology enter the popular world in the respect of biotechnology. This theology has produced a kind of new impact on biotechnology (such as artificial insemination, organ transplant, birth control and euthanasia etc.) Nowadays biotechnology is progressing day by day, Christian ethics is combining with modern medical ethics at a new point. Only by the explanation of Christian beliefs that are responsible for medicine and accord with Gospels and times, can a kind of new religions dignity and social signnicance of ecumenicalism be established post-modern theology of life will achieve this objective. Beginning from H. O. Taylor’s Mediaeval Mind, up to Teilhand de Chard in Theology that emphasizing practice and creation, Process Theology of Alfred North Whitenead which stresses correction and coranation, and Theology of hope of Jurgen Maltman that transformed the theory of centring on Genesis into one centring on hope and assent. These theologies have led to revolutionary changes the problem of life of mankind in the traditional Christian doctrine. Now we appraise biotechnology with "Exodus", "Incarnation" and the doctrine of hope, then thus can look into the fate of post-modern theology of life. "The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden as its gardener, to tend and care for it." (genesis 2: 15)This famous remark indicates a crear duty of makind. We think that not after death but after birth is important and "My purpose is to give life in all its fullness." (John 10: 10) Therefore we may control and remake human life, the semifinished product. So that we can accept the entrust: "Wish the heaven happy and the world merry." (Psalms 96: 11) We should affirm that expectation thinking of Christian theology is proper, it told mankind turn one’s face to novum ultimum and the future anew created by God that has brought Jesusbuck to life. Namely "Our father in heaven" (Mathew 6: 9), and "Formard to what lies ahead," (philippians 3: 13) both these front parallel relationship and the above perpendicular relationship are equal important to Christianity. Summing up all above, we can overcome all difficulties from religion in the performance of biotechnology and suggest that bioethicians cooperate with theologians together are participate in assessment and discussion of biotechnology ethics, the perspective will be wide and fine.
