Knowledge and Faith in Christian Thought

“基督教思想”的含义并不一定不言而喻。旧约和新约中的思想是不同的，所以我们必须从“基督教”的假设出发，如果我们认为他们中的一些人是“基督徒”，那么这种假设的动机将通过知识和信仰的问题来询问。此外，基督教思想起源的材料的性质应该事先得到澄清。《旧约和新约》是一本神圣的书，有它自己的特点。首先，在它的背景下，有悠久的传统历史，从口头传统到文献，知识和信仰在这里默默地相互交叉。其次，旧约和新约受到了不同于其他文献的对待，因为它被认为是基督教思想史上的经典。因此，知识和信仰之间的关系也就出现了问题，在今天，单独处理一个积极的宗教本身变得越来越困难。只有把每一种积极宗教的社会背景和共性问题作为一种宗教现象来考虑，才能证明每一种积极宗教的观点是正确的。成为一种书本宗教是基督教的特点，它以《圣书》为经典。因此，基督教思想史就是解释和接受这部经典的历史。因此，研究《旧约》和《新约》的方法正是知识和信仰问题的焦点。

What the "Christian thought" means in not necessarily self-evident. Thoughts in the Old- and the New Testament are various, so we must assume from a hypothesis about the "Christianity", if we regard some of them as "Christian" then the motivation of such a hypothesis will be asked by way of the question of the knowledge and the faith.Moreover, the character of the material from which the Christian thought started should previously be clarified. The Old- and the New Testsament is a sacred book and has its own character. Firstly, on its background there is a long history of tradition, from oral traditions to documents, and the knowledge and the faith cross implicitly each other here. Secondly, the Old- and the New Testament has been treated differently from other documents, because it was received as the Canon on the history of Christian thought. So there also arises the problem of the relation between the knowledge and the faith,It is becoming difficult today to deal with a Positive religion itself separately. Only when its social contexts and common problems as the religious phenomenon are considered, the argument about each positive religion is justified. To be a book religion, which depends on a Sacred Book as the Canon, is the characteristic of the christianity. Consequently the history of the Christian thought was the history of interpreting and accepting that Canon. Therefore the method of studying the Old- and the New Testament is just the focus of the problem on the knowledge and the faith.
