不足1/3美國人肯定聖經是神的話語並應從字面理解

據蓋洛普民意調查(Gallup poll)周三發布的調查結果顯示 ,28%美國人相信聖經是「神的話語」,並且應該「從字面上逐字理解」。1979年贊成該想法的比例創下了記錄,40%美國人認同該說法;除了2012年,這個數字每天都呈下降趨勢。

將近50%美國人認為,聖經是「神的啟發」,而不是所有內容都應該按字面解釋。1976年蓋洛普開始調查這個問題時持這種觀點的人數比例為45%,2003年有52%人數贊成這個說法。

那些聲稱聖經是一本「人類書寫的文言文、傳說、歷史和道德」書籍人數比例達到21%,創下新高。1976年只有13%美國人同意此說法。

蓋洛普研究還試圖澄清「基督教神學展開的兩個辯論」。

報告中說,「一個是聖經上的話語是不是神直接說出來的--基本上是使用作家作文士;或者是這本書的話語是出自人之口,那他們也是由聖靈感動寫下來的。另一個討論涉及詞語的含義:這些詞語需要按字面意義上理解呢,還是部分或者只是通過比喻和寓言來解釋。」

因此,蓋洛普給一半受訪者機會讓他們選擇對「聖經是上帝話語」這句話的不同理解。結果顯示,剛剛超過20%美國人稱,聖經必須從字面上理解; 28%肯定這是神的話語,但「有多種可能解釋」。

近20%把聖經看做「神的啟發」,他們同意聖經是「人類書寫的文言文、傳說、歷史和道德」。28%的人把聖經稱為「靈感」,但並不覺得應該從字面上理解。

蓋洛普還指出,當給出「聖經是神的話語,但有可能有各種解釋方法」和「聖經是神的話語,但是需要逐字翻譯」兩個附加選項時,比例依次是58%比34%:這樣來看,基督徒更有可能表示他們相信聖經是神的話語。這種做法可能對美國人看待聖經的重視度衡量上會有很大幫助。

蓋洛普今年5月8日至11日詢問了這些問題,作為其年度價值觀和信仰投票的一部分。該調查是對1028名成人、來自全美50個州及哥倫比亞的18歲以上群眾電話訪問隨機抽樣結果。
