Notes to A Tale of Two Cities（ The City of God） 双城记（ "上帝之城"） 批 [Chinese]

By Xuanjun Xie

奥古斯丁所谓的"圣城"缺乏《圣经》的依据， 相反， 那是源于摩尼教的善恶二神论、黑白二元说的观念。因此， 我把奥古斯丁的《上帝之城》叫做"双城记"， 它提出的问题比它解决的问题其实还多。尤其考虑到， 它试图解决的问题许多其实是"无解"的， 是"超出人类解答能力的范围之外"的。而奥古斯丁和一般神学家一样， 其通病就是喜欢解答一切， 潜意识中甚至自认为自己就是上帝的化身。 Synopsis: The City of God by Augustine has its roots in Manichaeism with its concepts of two deities of good and evil and of dualism of black and white, rather than in the Bible. I refer to Augustine's The City of God as A Tale of Two Cities, which raises more questions than answered. There are indeed no answers to the questions it attempts to answer, for it is beyond humans to provide answers. Augustine, like all other theologians, tended to find answers to all questions, subconsciously believing he was the reincarnation of God, perhaps.
