福音中的婦女：女性神學的觀點

Women in the Gospels: A Perspective from the Feminist Theology

本文透過女性神學的反思，聚焦於新約福音書的婦女經文來做研究。所謂「女性神學」，不是由女性所寫的神學，也不是以女性為寫作對象的神學，而是以關切女性受壓迫的處境為出發點的神學。本文幾乎涵蓋了福音中所有與女人有關的段落。全文分作四段，開始時，先簡略說明聖經與女性神學的關係；其次，我把福音的女性故事做了類型化的分析，概括出女人在福音中大致扮演的幾種角色；然後再挑選出幾個情節豐富（內容饒富趣味、或具有發展的空間）的故事（或話語），來把它們細細地打理裝扮一番，其中包括耶穌的母親、席間用香膏敷抹耶穌的女人、最後還有一句耶穌論休妻的話；結論一段討論女性釋經學和想像力的關係。

This article reconsiders feminist theology to focus on women’s scriptures in the New Testament Gospels. Feminist theology is neither theology simply written by women, nor theology simply written for women; it is theology that is deeply concerned with women’s oppression and takes this issue as its starting point. This article encompasses almost every passage of the Gospels concerned with women and is divided into four sections. To begin, I first briefly explain the relationship between the Bible and feminist theology. Next, I undertake a categorical analysis of women’s stories in the Gospels to develop a general picture of the several kinds of roles that women customarily play within them. Then, I select several stories or dialogues with abundant plot details, whether rich and interesting content or space for further development, to closely and carefully analyze. Such stories include those concerning Jesus’s mother and the women who came to anoint Jesus with fragrant perfumes and ointments during banquets, as well as a passage on Jesus’s commentary on divorce. The concluding section discusses the relationship between feminist exegesis and imagination.
