改教者的聖經詮釋法
Re????ational Interpretation

改教者在聖經詮釋的歷史上，至少在三方面展開了新的一頁。
The Re????ers represented a new chapter in the history of interpretation in at least three way.

第一、許多改教者受過一些人文批判主義教條的訓練，即強調“回到根源”。這是對“古代語言”及“修辭分析”的興趣的再現，改教者把這個關注帶入他們研讀聖經之中。他們不再只注意聖經的歷史處境，也注意文法中的上下文。
First, many Re????ers had been trained according to the canons of the recent humanist criticism, whose cry as ad fonts, or “(back) to the sources.” Part of this training involved a resurgence of interest in the “ancient languages” and “rhetorical analysis, ”, an interest that was carried over into Protestant readings of the Bible. Renewed attention would now be given not only to the historical but also to the grammatical context of the Bible.

第二、新教的自我意識是擁抱“唯獨聖經”（sola ????ura）的神學認信的。前後一致地應用此一原則，會確保一個非常重要的解經原則，就是以經解經。
Second, Protestants self-consciously embrace the theological conviction sola ????ura (????ure only). The consistent application of this principle would ensure a vital principle of interpretation: ????ure interpreting ????ure.

第三、改教者在歷史上的訓練和對歷史的敏感，使得路德宗和加爾文宗的聖經詮釋會對解經歷史有一份敏感。從這個角度看，新教可以免除羅馬天主教的指控，說他們並非接受“唯獨聖經”，而是“僅有聖經”（nuda ????ura），不靠傳統的幫助或其他外來的協助。從而，改教者是設立一個解經的基礎來詮釋保羅，也就是根據文法和歷史，也敏感於過去解經者的洞見和意見。
Third, the historical training and sensibility of the Re????ers ensures that Lutheran and Calvinist biblical interpretation would be sensitive to the history of interpretation. In this view, Protestants could evade Rome’s charge that Protestants had not embraced sola ????ura but nuda ????ura (bare ????ure), or ????ure read without the aid of tradition or other such external assistance. The Re????ers thereby laid the foundation for exegesis of Paul that was both grammatically and historically grounded, while sensitive to the insights and reflections of past interpreters.
