    論「聖經考古」與舊約研究

    論「聖經考古」與舊約研究 陳永浩 Chan Wing Ho Michael 不論是猶太信仰或基督宗教,除了在神學和其他層面的研究和討論,始終都不能離開「歷史宗教」這個根基:即我們的信仰,並不是建基於單純的思想或神話之上。舊約聖經裡除了記載了神學理念和聖經論述,更有歷史:是一位真神帶領著祂的子民的故事。猶太人籍信仰上主及遵行祂的律法,與主及彼此連結,這並不只是一個宗教和信念,而是以此塑造出其獨特的歷史、語言、文化、國家與民族。轉句話說,若不參照以色列經歷的歷史,我們將不能完全理解舊約聖經中的神學、思想和信仰。 當舊約研究與歷史宗教的背景下,證實歷史,以致考證歷史就成了必然的步驟。而這樣就使舊約聖經研究與現代考古學碰上了。本文旨以「聖經考古」為題,分析其對舊約聖經研究的相互影響,並討論在研究舊約時,對「聖經考古」所應之持有的原則。 何謂「考古學」與「聖經考古學」? 查「考古」一詞,源於希臘文 “arkhaiologia” ,解作「遠古歷史」。這是一種起源於十七世紀西方社會,旨在於從一個地點中挖掘得到的遺物及遺留的物質,予以分析後,用以研究當時人類「史前時代」與「歷史時代」的研究學科。
