標題[心得]艾美斯:心靈與誠實
時間Sun Jun 29 03:10:40 2008
約翰福音 4:23: "那真正拜父的、 要用心靈和誠實拜他"
納尼亞故事的最後之戰當中,”艾美斯”堅持尋求真理與誠實,
他對阿司能沒有完整的認識,但仍受到阿司能(象徵基督)稱許,允許進入天國。
”艾美斯”一名是希伯來文,”真理,誠實,堅定..”的意思。
我認為這種命名的創作動機,可能與約翰福音第四章有關聯。
如同撒瑪利亞婦人,因為生長環境而無法獲得完整正確的神學認知,艾美斯也是如此,
但是依照心靈與誠實(希臘文語意也可做”誠實的心靈”或”真理的聖靈”),
真神還是可以向他們啟示,或是配合羅馬書所說”良心律法的審判”,使他們得救。
完整的原著”最後之戰”故事否定了”多元宗教論”(pluralism)。
故事中代表著”多元宗教論”的,就是”泰西能”混合宗教,
由宗教騙徒老猿猴,勾結卡洛門的軍事侵略者,與經濟壓榨者,共同創立,
主張”泰西能”= 泰西 = 阿司能。
故事中沒有提到任何一個信仰這種宗教的人,最後可以進天國。
C.S. Lewis, John Wesley, Billy Graham的主張都屬於inclusivism。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeth
Emeth is the name of a Calormene character from C. S. Lewis's book The Last
Battle (from the Chronicles of Narnia series). Being Calormene, Emeth was
raised to follow Tash, the antithesis of Aslan, and did so whole-heartedly.
In spite of this, Emeth manages to travel to "Aslan's country" during the
final destruction of Narnia, and is welcomed by Aslan. This has caused some
controversy with readers who count him a devil-worshiper. Others have used it
to illuminate Lewis' views on the theology of salvation, his soteriology.
Re the latter, Emeth is an emphatically good Calormene, whose name derives
from
Emet, a Hebrew word that has been variously translated as
"truth,"
"firmness," "veracity," (and similar) when used in the Christian Bible. Thus
Lewis denotes Emeth as one who prizes objective truth above all, and Jesus
revealed: "I am the Truth" (John 14:6). Therefore Emeth (lover of Truth)
ignorantly served the demon Tash but did so as a Narnian might well serve the
True God Aslan — dutifully and with love and devotion, to the best of his
knowledge interacting receptively with any truly divine light given him —
and was thereby allowed to ascend to Aslan's perfect Narnia. This literary
character's plot line thus depicts the theology known as
individual
soteriological inclusivism, which
denies as heretical the concept of
religious pluralism (that
both Aslan/Christ and Tash/demon are similar
"Tashlan" in the book) yet maintains that some individuals within evil cults
can still be saved by Christ.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusivism
Inclusivism, one of several approaches to understanding the relationship
between religions, asserts that while
one set of beliefs is absolutely true,
other sets of beliefs are at least partially true. It stands in contrast to
exclusivism, which asserts that only one way is true and all others are in
error, and religious pluralism, which asserts that all beliefs are equally
valid within a believer's particular context.
Supporters of inclusivism include: John Wesley, Billy Graham, and C. S. Lewis.
