圣经公会报告:更多美国人相信圣经是神默示的话

· (Stephen Badin)

越来越多的美国人把圣经看作是准确无误的神话语的默示,且带有一些象征性意义,不能完全按照字面理解,根据美国圣经公会(American Bible Society)2015年国家圣经报告(2014 State of the Bible report)。

该报告是由巴纳集团在纽约为美国圣经公会制作,调查了诸如此类的问题:圣经的理解;圣经的洞察力;圣经参与;圣经文学;道德滑坡和社会影响;给予非盈利组织的水平。

根据该报告,在全国范围内对美国成年人进行电话和在线调查中发现,有五种对圣经的不同描述,“更多成年人认为,这更多是(有些象征性)的默示,而不只是字面的意义”。

“许多人,占三分之一的人,表示圣经是神话语的默示,准确无误,尽管有些经文有象征性意义(33%),”报告指出。这突显了2014年以来统计学上的显著增加,去年只有30%的受访者对圣经持有这种观点。

就在去年夏天,荣获白鸽奖的音乐艺术家迈克尔和莉萨·格尔(Michael and Lisa Gungor)遭受了来自正统基督徒粉丝的严重回击,当时他们透露,他们只是不想在按照字面意思去理解圣经中故事,诸如创世记和洪水等主题。迈克尔和莉萨·格尔以流行的敬拜音乐,如《枯骨》和《美丽的事》,而广为人知。

相信圣经是真实的神的话语,应该按照字面意思来理解,是人们对圣经持有的第二大普遍观点,占受访者的22%。

13%的受访者相信,圣经是神话语的默示,但带有一些事实错误。

然而,其他的许多人只是把圣经看作是来自人类教导的一本书。

“19%的成年人对圣经深表怀疑,认为圣经只是人类教导的一本书,其中含有故事和建议。最后一项选择——圣经不是神所默示的,只是告诉人们,作者如何理解神的方式和原则——11%的成年人更愿意这样认为,”该报告指出。

2%的受访者找不到和他们所理解的圣经相匹配的描述。

年长者更容易相信圣经是字面上的神的话语,而千禧一代更倾向于认为这只是有关教导的另一本书而已。
