《Doubting Thomas》简介:

About the disciple known as Doubting Thomas, everyone knows at least this much: he stuck his finger into the risen Jesus' wounds. Or did he? A fresh look at the "Gospel of John" reveals how little we may really understand about this most perplexing of biblical figures, and how much we might learn from the strange twists and turns Thomas' story has taken over time.

《Doubting Thomas》摘录:

就约翰的修辞目的而言,多马的普遍的怀疑并不必要:多马的怀疑超过了多马这个角色需要承载的分量,反而为亵渎、神学和心理上的间隙开辟了空间,他给我们带来的不安不亚于我们把自己的手或指头伸进死者未能愈合的伤口。多马的不知轻重留下了明显的印记,一个不能划归为实际文本需求的暗示,让整个西方传统深陷于此,倾尽全力地抑制多马的非分之想带来的后果,而西方传统除了重复与强调之外再也无能为力。
