A Reflection on the Spiritual Education of Christian Faith From the Concept of Karl Rahner’s “Anonymous Christian”

本文從天主教神學家卡爾•拉內之「無名基督徒」的概念來反省基督信仰的靈性教育。首先從天主教的官方訓導來簡要釐清「救恩」概念，接著從拉內的思想架構來說明「無名基督徒」的意涵，並針對臺灣大部分學生並非基督徒的事實，試提出靈性教育的可能方向，包括啟發面對真實的奧祕意識，引導向無限奧祕開放的渴望，面對生命的張力做出自我超越的選擇，以及投身於愛的服務以創建關係新秩序，以答覆「無名基督徒」之豐盛生命的召喚。

This article aims to reflect the spiritual education of Christian faith from the concept of Karl Rahner’s “anonymous Christian.” First, it will briefly clarify the concept of “salvation” from the official teachings of the Catholic Church, and then try to illustrate the meaning of “anonymous Christian” from the theological thinking framework of Karl Rahner. Later, facing the fact that most students in Taiwan’s educational fields are not Christians, the author tries to suggest some possible directions for Christian spiritual education, such as cultivating the consciousness of mystery on the basis of reality, inspiring the desire open to infinite Mystery, making self-transcending choices under the tension of life and offering services of love to create a new order of relationships, in order to respond the call and live the life of “anonymous Christians” fully alive.
