說這些開場白的，是英國作者。所以這些說話不時德國人針對英國人的偏見。

我覺得問題不是在翻譯的多少或者好壞，而是在於英國強烈的經驗主義傳統會否使得無法銜接德國的浪漫主義和唯心論。德國神學的發展深受德國哲學的發展影響。例如 Tillich 就很更多受到謝林[Schelling]的影響，而不是黑格爾。Bultmann 更是同 Heidegger 有關啦。離開了所有這些埋絡，而單純講Tillich或者Bultmann，可能就看不到其關懷了。

不過，英國因而發展出 "Theology and Society/Ecology/Science..."，其實都有好多好處……

到底我們要一味學北美，定學歐陸？
我們有否忘記中國本身擁有豐富而優良的精神傳統呢？
