A. 課程目標:
1. 認識敘事神學的發展背景、概念、爭議及貢獻。
2. 研讀學者藉敘事理論去詮釋保羅書信的論證。
3. 剖析 Paul Ricoeur(利科)「三重模擬」(Threefold Mimesis)及「見證詮釋學」(The Hermeneutics of Testimony)等跟聖經詮釋相關的敘事理論。
4. 建基敘事理論,勾畫保羅如何藉基督的故事,更新以色列的神學傳統。
B. 課程內容:
保羅書信既非故事文體,我們為何及如何應用敘事理論在使徒保羅的詮釋上?本課程簡介敘事神學的理論,以故事範式去重構保羅編織其神學 (Theologizing) 的過程,並以保羅·利科 (Paul Ricoeur) 的敘事理論去豐富理解保羅的視野。
C. 課程要求:
- 完成閱讀指定的期刊文章
- 於課堂第二週之前,完成觀看電影 Stranger than Fiction
- 為了讓同學更掌握敘事與神學的關係,本課程將於第二周的課堂,播放一部2006年上畫的美國電影 "Stranger than Fictions" (中譯《奇幻人生》或《口白人生》)。然而,若疫情持續,我們將不能夠以實體上課的方式,讓同學來到灣仔市區校園一起觀看電影。故此,葉應霖博士要求每一位同學,於第二周上課之前,自行觀看這電影一次。以下是一些可能的方法:
1. 親身前往市區校園借閱此電影。建道將會提供兩套 DVD,供同學於市區校園內觀賞(即不能借走)。同學亦須帶備個人手提電腦,並首先向市區校園同工登記。
2. 前往 Apple TV apps 租用 (HK$28) 或購買 (HK$98) 此電影的數碼檔案。還有其他各大電影串流的網站平台,在此不盡錄。執筆之時,香港的 Netflix 未有此電影。
3. 尋找實體影碟。
