商品描述
Many Christians profess that Jesus died as a sacrifice for sins. The Catholic Mass is even understood as a "sacrifice." Some take issue with this language, for it seems to put forward an idea of God that is implicated in vengeance and violence. Why would God accept the murder of an innocent man as a sacrifice for sin? As important as this question is, there is a more fundamental question: What does it mean to say that Jesus dies as a sacrifice for sin?
Within feminist theology, the very idea of sacrifice is laced with tension. Women and other marginalized groups have historically been oppressed by the use of the language of sacrifice. They have been told to live lives of self-sacrifice, at the expense of their well-being. Thus, many reject the language of sacrifice outright. Starting with an exploration of René Girard's understanding of sacrifice, Chelsea Jordan King places Girard into direct dialogue with feminist theologians who raised similar critiques of violence. She then shows how we can re-claim the language of sacrifice in such a way that is liberative for all women and other marginalized groups.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
許多基督徒宣稱耶穌為罪而死,作為犧牲。天主教彌撒甚至被理解為一種「犧牲」。有些人對這種說法提出異議,因為這似乎傳達了一種與報復和暴力有關的神的觀念。為什麼神會接受一個無辜者的謀殺作為罪的犧牲呢?這個問題雖然重要,但還有一個更根本的問題:耶穌作為罪的犧牲而死,這到底意味著什麼?
在女性主義神學中,犧牲的概念充滿了緊張感。歷史上,女性和其他邊緣化群體常常受到犧牲語言的壓迫。她們被告知要過自我犧牲的生活,卻以自己的福祉為代價。因此,許多人徹底拒絕犧牲的語言。切爾西·喬丹·金(Chelsea Jordan King)從對雷內·吉拉爾(René Girard)對犧牲的理解的探索開始,將吉拉爾與提出類似暴力批評的女性主義神學家進行直接對話。接著,她展示了我們如何以一種對所有女性和其他邊緣化群體具有解放意義的方式重新詮釋犧牲的語言。
