分三点对比:
## 一、共同点:都强调“里面的人”真实参与神生命
– 史百克:
– 把“心里的内在人”(inner man of the heart)=人的灵,视为重生之处和圣灵工作的主要场所,
– 重复强调:神的旨意是要从这个“内在之人”开始更新人,
– 东方正教:
– 神化(theosis)同样从“内在人”着眼:人的心/
– 神化被理解为:人在里面真实有分神的生命与不受造能量,
两者都拒绝把救恩仅仅看成外在地位改变,而强调“里头的人”
## 二、差异一:神学架构——属灵导修 vs. 本体论神化
– 史百克:
– 主要是属灵导修与基督论神学家,不发展详细的“本质/能量”
– 讲“内在人”时,更像在讲:
– 人真正的生命中心在灵里;
– 十字架对付外在之人,好让内在人与属天基督相合,成为“
– 他说“在灵里与基督联合、被改变”,但很少用“神化、成神”
– 东方正教:
– 在亚他那修、马西莫、帕拉玛斯等传统中,明确用“神化/
– 人不参与神的本质,只参与神的不受造能量;
– 神化是“按恩典成神”,有一套成熟的本体论与三一论框架(本质/
– “内在人”在这里被视为参与神能量的场所,
## 三、差异二:实践重心——十字架属天化 vs. 圣礼神化
– 史百克:
– 内在人更新路径:信心、十字架对付自我、
– 他非常重“十字架—属天人”轴线:
– 圣礼在其讲论中几乎不构成结构中心,
– 东方正教:
– 内在人神化的实际载体是:洗礼、圣餐、悔改、祷告(
– 内在人的更新被看作是在“教会共融与圣礼参与中,
简化一点:史百克更多站在复兴/内在生命运动的路线上讲“
***
一句可直接引用的综合命题:
> 就内在人而言,史百克与东方正教都强调人里面有一“深处”
