Augustine’s Conception of Sexuality and Marriage: A Defense against Alignment of Human Merits on ContinenceThis paper presents a survey of Augustine’s views on sexuality and marriage,inquiring whether there is an alignment of human merits on the basis of their distance from sexuality. Attending to modern theologica ldiscussions, this paper argues that Augustine shifts the issue of lifestyles into the field of moral improvement ofpassions and stresses the gradual ascent of there newed passions as a realistic scenario of the aspired perfectionism in the City of God. In this sense, human virtuous lifestyles such as secular conjugal chastity,monastic asceticism and martyrdom are not human merits,but various improving gifts from God.

《圣经》的婚姻观与相关的伦理解析Based on monogamy accepted by both Judaism and Christianity, this paper first analyses its Biblical origin. Next it handles cases of polygamy,incest and adultery according to the Law o fMoses.Then regarding the concept of covenant and the symbolic meaning of marriage, it introduces distinct interpretations of Christianity and Judaism since the former believes the divine and human nature of Jesus Christ together with the church as his spiritual body. Meanwhile, it gives a critical comment on whether Catholic monasticism and forced celibacy for clergy is spiritually higher. Since the indwelling Holy Spirit in regenerated sinners has no impartiality for male or female, it concludes that Christianity raises the status of women in marriage.

从“友善交流座谈会”反思教会对同志的牧养与神学议题Since 2011, social disturbance on the issue of LBGT in Taiwan never ceases. There have been many social movements to support the LGBT rights and interests, including gender equality education and same-sex marriage legislation indifferent situations.At the same time,the rebuttal forces a real so strong, including so-called “1130event”and the proposal of “Referendum for Family Protection”,which were mostly supported by the conservative Christian churches in Taiwan.This article will introduce theThird Way between LGBT and Church by hosting“Forum of Friendly Interflow”.This forum is a monthly event to exchange voices from various different directions and to encourage dialog between different parties since June 2015. Based on the experience of this forum, I will provide some remarks/suggestions for Chinese churches to develop public theology and pastoral theology for LGBT group.This approach may be also applied to other social disputes in the future.

婚姻圣事中的性事:圣多玛斯的婚姻伦理Matrimony is one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church.The Theo-philosophic system of the Catholic doctor Angelicus St. Thomas Aquinas which was once authorized as the official thought of the Catholic Church also establishes the foundation of the Catholic ethics of marriage with respectto his account of matrimony.St.Thomas’s understanding of matrimony as the sacrament,especially of the maritals exuality,as the representative of the position of the sacred tradition, can respond to the new trends of contemporary society, particularly to the new situation of the secular society in China during her crucial transition period on the onehand, and meantime confronts multiple challenges on the other hand.

托马斯·M. 林赛及其对宗教改革时期的《圣经》解释Thomas M. Lindsay was an eminent Scottish historian in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who contributed greatly to the field of Reformation Studies. As a loyal follower of Evangelical Protestantism,both his religious practice and academic research are deeply influenced by Evangelism. He was a follower and practitioner of the higher,or historical,criticism in Bible study,taking the Reformation as a starting point for studying and understanding the Scripture. According to his view, it was the Protestant Reformers who rediscovered and revitalized the Scripture,and made it a centerpiece and guide for Christian religious life,as a formal collection of knowledge and the ultimate source of theology. Scripture has become the direct revelation of the redeeming personal God for followers of Jesus Christ.
