古代基督教:第一千年(真本/零售EPUB)
How, over the course of five centuries, one particular god and one particular Christianity came to dominate late Roman imperial politics and piety
The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one particular god come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In Ancient Christianities, Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity—or rather, of early Christianities—through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople. It is a story with a sprawling cast of characters: not only theologians, bishops, and emperors, but also gods and demons, angels and magicians, astrologers and ascetics, saints and heretics, aristocratic patrons and millenarian enthusiasts. All played their part in the development of what became and remains an energetically diverse biblical religion.
The New Testament, as we know it, represents only a small selection of the many gospels, letters, acts of apostles, and revelations that circulated before the establishment of the imperial church. It tells how the gospel passed from Jesus, to the apostles, thence to Paul. But by using our peripheral vision, by looking to noncanonical and paracanonical texts, by availing ourselves of information derived from papyri, inscriptions, and archaeology, we can see a different, richer, much less linear story emerging. Fredriksen brings together these many sources to reconstruct the lively interactions of pagans, Jews, and Christians, tracing the conversions of Christianity from an energetic form of Jewish messianism to an arm of the late Roman state.
如何,在五百年的时间里,特定的一位神祇和特定的基督教信仰在晚期罗马帝国的政治与虔诚中占据主导地位? 古代地中海地区充满了各种各样的神明。数世纪以来,一种务实的宗教多元主义一直存在。那么,为什么一位特定的神祇能够在晚期罗马帝国的政治与虔诚中占据主导地位呢?在《古代基督教》一书中,保罗·弗雷德里克森追溯了早期基督教(或者说早期基督教信仰)五百年帝国生活的发展历程,并将其路径从犹太山脉描绘到罗马和君士坦丁堡的殿堂。故事中有着庞大的角色阵容:不仅有神学家、主教以及皇帝,还有诸神与魔鬼、天使与魔术师、占星术士与隐修者、圣徒与异端分子、贵族赞助人和末世主义爱好者。所有这些人都参与了将一种充满活力的圣经宗教发展壮大起来的过程。 我们知道的新 Testament只是许多福音书、信件、使徒行传和启示录中的一小部分,是在建立帝国教会之后才被编纂成册的。它讲述了福音是如何从耶稣那里传来,到门徒们手中,再到保罗手中的故事。但是,通过使用我们的侧视镜,在关注非正统和反权威文本的同时,借助碑铭、雕像和考古学等资料提供的信息,我们可以看到一个不同且更丰富的故事逐渐浮现出来。弗雷德里克森将这些多种多样的来源结合起来,重现了异教徒、犹太人与基督徒之间生动的互动,并追溯了基督教从一种充满活力的犹太弥赛亚主义转化成晚期罗马帝国的一部分的历程。
