'Beginning from Jerusalem': Luke 24.47 in Augustine's anti-Donatist Ecclesiology

研究范围提出的哲学博士工作的纲论性核心是通过对奥古斯丁的反多纳图主义作品的某些特征的仔细分析，重新评估河马的教会思想。特别要评估的是他关于跨洋教会重要性的论点的功能、史前和含义。特别强调和研究的是他长期被忽视但经常被使用的论点，即与耶路撒冷教会交流的必要性，通过使用路加福音24章47节对教会起源的呼吁，奥古斯丁为了什么目的使用了与跨洋教会交流的必要性的论点，尤其是耶路撒冷教会（反复引用路加福音24章47节的一个片段）和保罗教会？奥古斯丁的教会论如何与他在北非传统中的前辈（塞浦路斯、奥普塔图斯和德尔图良）相适应并相互影响，特别是在跨洋教会的问题上？在奥古斯丁的教会论中，地方教会的角色是什么？对奥古斯丁关于与跨洋教会交流的必要性的思想的重新评价如何扰乱或挑战他的教会学的忏悔和传统叙述？研究背景奥古斯丁的遗产，在教会学和他思想的许多其他方面，在西方基督教界有着广泛而深刻的影响，使他的作品经常受到他的支持者和批评者的误读。这项研究的重点在于恢复一个重复和突出的注意（跨洋教会的作用，特别是耶路撒冷）在他的教会工作中一直被忽视。这本书的目的是为奥古斯丁学术贡献新的见解，并为某些忏悔读物提供急需的纠正，这些读物一方面认为他提供了一个脱离制度约束的超精神化教会（例如鲍耶，卡里），另一方面则提供了一个原始的教皇体系（例如查普曼）。一些与奥古斯丁研究相关的当代作品包括Merdinger（1997）、Ployd（2015）和Burns和Jensen（2014）的作品。在东正教神学家与奥古斯丁的接触越来越多的时期，本研究希望在这一轨道上工作，打开奥古斯丁思想与当代东正教教会问题的共鸣。研究方法正如人们对奥古斯丁著作的期望一样，大部分原始资料都可以在现代版本中找到；CSEL和CCL包含所有需要的作品。系统的文学研究奥古斯丁的主要来源和作品将形成主要的研究重点进行。我提议的研究范围是奥古斯丁致力于反多纳图派活动的较为成熟的时期，大致从5世纪初的De baptismo开始，直到411年迦太基天主教和多纳图派主教失败的座谈会之后。关键来源，按重要性降序排列，将分为奥古斯丁的论战性反多纳图主义作品，他的相关说教计划，以及他的信件和大公会议活动。这项研究的主要试金石将是奥古斯丁的《论教会的统一》，其中使用路加福音24章47节对耶路撒冷教会的呼吁是最突出的。此外，需要仔细研究他的教会学的来源和前辈（塞浦路斯，奥普塔图斯和德尔图良），以帮助理解他的思想和在他自己的传统中的作用。因为教会问题涉及政治和社会关系，研究奥古斯丁的书信体材料（最相关的是Epp. 49,54 - 55,76, 87, 141, 185, 198-9）和北非和国外的正典传统将需要密切关注。

Research scopeThe programmatic core of the proposed DPhil work is a re-evaluation of Augustine of Hippo's ecclesiological thought through a close analysis of certain features of his anti-Donatist works. What will be particularly assessed is the function, pre-history, and implications of his arguments around the importance of transmarine churches. What will be especially highlighted and studied is his long-neglected but often-employed argument on the necessity of communion with the Jerusalem Church, through an appeal to the origins of the Church using Luke 24.47To what ends does Augustine employ arguments for the necessity of communion with transmarine churches, especially Jerusalem (citing repeatedly a particle of Lk. 24.47) and the Pauline churches? How does Augustine's ecclesiology fit within and interact with his predecessors in the North African tradition (Cyprian, Optatus, and Tertullian), particularly on the question of transmarine churches?What is the role of local churches in Augustine's ecclesiology? How does a renewed appreciation of Augustine's thinking around the necessity of communion with transmarine churches disrupt or challenge confessional and traditional accounts of his ecclesiology? Research contextAugustine's legacy, in ecclesiology as in many other aspects of his thought, has a broad and deep influence in Western Christendom, making his works subject to routine misreadings on behalf of both his partisans and detractors. The emphasis of this research lies in recovering a repeated and prominent note (the role of transmarine churches, especially Jerusalem) in his ecclesiological work that has been singularly neglected. This has the goal of contributing fresh insights into Augustinian scholarship, and of offering a much-needed corrective to certain confessional readings that see him offering either an ultra-spiritualised Church divorced from institutional constraints (e.g. Bouyer, Cary) on the one hand, or a proto-papal system on the other (e.g. Chapman). Some of the more contemporary pieces of Augustine research that are relevant include the works of Merdinger (1997), Ployd (2015), and Burns and Jensen (2014). In a period of increasing engagement with Augustine from Orthodox theologians, this research hopes to work in this trajectory, opening up resonances of Augustine's thought with issues in contemporary Orthodox ecclesiology. Research methodAs is to be expected for Augustinian work, the bulk of the primary source material is available in modern editions; the CSEL and CCL contain all the required works. Systematic literary study of Augustine's key sources and works will form the main focus of research undertaken. The scope of my proposed research is on the more mature period of Augustine's dedicated anti-Donatist activity, roughly from the De baptismo at the turn of the 5th century until just after the failed colloquium of Catholic and Donatist bishops in Carthage of 411. The key sources, in descending order of importance, would be divided into Augustine's polemical anti-Donatist works, his associated homiletic programmes, and his letters and conciliar activity. The main touchstone of this study would be on Augustine's De unitate ecclesiae, in which the appeal to the Jerusalem church using Luke 24.47 is most prominent. Additionally, close study of the sources and predecessors of his ecclesiology (Cyprian, Optatus, and Tertullian) will be required to help understand his thought and role within his own tradition. Because the question of ecclesiology concerns political and social relationships, study of Augustine's epistolary material (the most relevant being Epp. 49, 54-55, 76, 87, 141, 185, 198-9) and the canonical tradition in North Africa and abroad will require close attention.
