改教者的圣经诠释法
RE-F O R MATIONAL INTERPRETATION

改教者至少在三方面代表了圣经诠释历史的新页。
The Ref o r mers represented a new chapter in the history of interpretation in at least three way.

第一、许多改教者受过一些人文批判主义教条的训练，即强调“回到根源”。这是对“古代语言”及“修辞分析”的兴趣的再现，改教者把这个关注带入他们研读圣经之中。他们不再只注意圣经的历史处境，也注意文法中的上下文。
First, many Re-fo rmers 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、新教的自我意识是拥抱“唯独圣经”（sola S c riptura）的神学认信的。前后一致地应用此一原则，会确保一个非常重要的解经原则，就是以经解经。
Second, Protestants self-consciously embrace the theological conviction sola S c riptura (S c ripture only). The consistent application of this principle would ensure a vital principle of interpretation: Sc ripture interpreting ????ure.

第三、改教者在历史上的训练和对历史的敏感，使得路德宗和加尔文宗的圣经诠释会对解经历史有一份敏感。从这个角度看，新教可以免除罗马天主教的指控，说他们并非接受“唯独圣经”，而是“仅有圣经”（nuda Sc riptura），不靠传统的帮助或其他外来的协助。从而，改教者是设立一个解经的基础来诠释保罗，也就是根据文法和历史，也敏感于过去解经者的洞见和意见。
Third, the historical training and sensibility of the Ref ormers 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 Sc riptura but nuda Sc riptura (bare ????ure), or ????ure read without the aid of tradition or other such external assistance. The Ref ormers 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.
