The Roles and Functions of the Scriptures in Religions.

圣经理论不同于对特定宗教团体的圣经解释，因为它试图通过观察经文的功能来将经文置于宗教现象中，这是跨越所有宗教的。从这个意义上说，圣经理论只是宗教科学的一部分。现代宗教科学的创始人f·马克斯·穆勒（F.Max Muller）提出了自己独创的圣经理论。然而，在随后的宗教科学发展中，圣经理论被淹没在大量与个别宗教的圣经解释有关的材料之下，因此成为一个被遗忘的宗教研究领域。已经积累的最大量的材料是关于圣经研究的，因此圣经已经成为各种宗教经典的典型模型。然而，在20世纪，基于快速发展的历史批判方法的《圣经》研究最终实现了《圣经》所包含的各种要素，并从内部突破了旧的《圣经》研究风格的包容性。文学理论和历史理论的新工作与这种新方法相结合；形成一种新的圣经理论的可能性。人们越来越仔细地研究圣经的口头功能，而不仅仅是书面文字。在形成一个共同的圣经理论基础之后，就有必要再看一下每个宗教的圣经。

Scriptural theory differs from the scriptural imterpretation of a particular religious group in that it is the attempt to position scripture in religious phenomenon through an observation of the function of scripture that transverses all religions. In that sense, scriptural theory becomes just one part of science of religion. The founder of modern science of religion, F.Max Muller had formulated his own original scriptural theory. However, in the subsequent development of science of religion, scriptural theory was buried under an immense amount of material concerned with scriptural interpretations of individual religions, therefore becoming a forgotten field of religious study.The greatest volume of material that has been accumulated is about biblical studies and as such the Bible has been made the typical model of scripture for various religions. However, in the 20th century, biblical studies based on the rapidly developing historical-critical Method have, in the end, actualized tje various elements that are included in the Bible and have broken through the inclusive nature of the old style of biblical studies from the inside. New workings of the literal theory and the historical theory have combined with this new method to temtatove ; u form a new possibility of scriptural theory. The oral function of scripture is being looked at more and more carefully instead of just regarding the written words. After forming a common underlying base of scriptural theory it will then be necessary to take a second look at the scripture of each individual religion.
