在《史记》中,司马迁将老子与韩非并置而作《老子韩非列传》,并谓韩非之学“源于道德之意”,这无疑提示了老子与韩非思想的某种关联性。另外,《韩非子》一书中有《解老》、《喻老》两篇,为最早解释《老子》的两篇文献。如果我们不简单地将韩非子对《老子》的诠释归为偶然,那么,我们至少可以说,韩非认为老子那里有着可供汲取与利用的思想资源。然而,征诸于《老子》文本与韩非所“解”、所“喻”之“老”,二者间的差异可谓判若云泥。从政治哲学的角度来说,老子倡导“无为而治”,而通过对《老子》的诠释,韩非... more

Discussion-piece on rule of law: Its meaning and how best to safeguard it.
In his volume, Paul and the Law, Dr. Brian Rosner develops a theology of biblical law as it relates to the New Covenant dispensation on the basis of Paul’s epistolary writings. While this is a worthy task, one would be mistaken to develop... more
We, as Christians, should be disgusted by both legalism and license and instead should radically serve God out of an overflow of worship. It is because Christ served us by dying on our cross for our sin that we serve Him. Good works, even... more
