自然神学

The contrast to these more speculative forms of kenotic theology would naturally be those forms which focus more specifically on the incarnation as the exclusive act of divine self - limitation for our salvation.

对比这些更多的投机形式的虚己神学自然会这种形式，重点更具体的化身作为唯一的神圣行为，自我-限制我们的拯救。

In detaching the science of law from theology and religion , he prepared the ground for the secular, rationalistic version of modern natural law.

在将法学与神学和宗教分离时，他为现代自然法世俗的、理性主义的观点奠定了基

First, the state of nature homologized the beginning, called genesis, of the Christian theology. Second, the civil society homologized the end, called salvation from God, of the Christian theology. Because of these meanings, Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan is, needless to say, a theological-political book.

首先，自然状态对应著基督教的起点，亦即无中生有的创世，其次，公民社会则对应基督教的终点，亦即上帝的拯救；正是在这样的意义下，霍布斯的《利维坦》恰恰是一本神学—政治论著。

Inasmuch then as the theology of Christianity did not appear to him true or of divine origin; inasmuch as this strange history of a crucified God was not credible to him, and a system which purported to rest entirely upon a foundation to him so wholly unbelievable, could not be foreseen by him to be that renovating agency which, after all abatements, it has in fact proved to be; the gentlest and most amiable of philosophers and rulers, under a solemn sense of duty, authorized the persecution of Christianity.

这样，由于基督教的神学在他看来不是真理或者不是源于神旨；由于那种钉死在十字架的上帝的怪异历史在他想来殊难置信，而这样一个全部建筑在他所完全不能相信的基础上的思想体系在他自然不能想见其成为那种调整的动力（殊不知事实上，它即经一切削弱之后仍已证明是那样的）；于是这位最温和又最可亲的哲学家当统治者，在一种庄严的义务感之下，竟裁准了对基督教的迫害。

About the origin of the particularity thought, it is a problem that many clergies and scientists could not answer. Why did mankind develop quickly into now from ancient civilized history, it is an amazing leap. Evolve and have in this respect unexpected law of qualitative change naturally, what are the reasons?

关于这个思想特殊性的由来，是许多神学者与科学家一直都无法解开的问题，人类怎么就在文明史之前，突然的从自然进化过程一下子变成发展飞跃的历史，这是什么原因造成的。

Hence it was but natural that the encroachments of Biblical criticism on conservative theology should be disputed inch by inch.

因此，它只不过是自然不过的侵害圣经批评保守的神学应该有争议一寸一寸。

The distinction between natural and supernatural theology rests on a solid foundation.

之间的区别自然和超自然的神学在於奠定了坚实的基础。

The distinction between natural and supernatural theology rests on a solid foundation.

区分自然和超自然的神学，就必须有稳固的基础。

Thomas Aquinas argues that the beginning of the world can not be demonstrated but is a truth knowable only through revelation. Bonaventura not only holds that we know by faith and revelation that the world has a beginning; he also asserts that reason can demonstrate it.

托玛斯阿奎那认为，世界有开端乃信仰的对象，属於教理神学的信条，理性对之无能为力，自然理性既不能证明世界的永恒性，也不能证明世界不是永恒而有开端的；波纳文图拉则坚持&世界有开端&是理性可以证明的。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
