삼위일체론적 성경본체론 회복의 필요성에 대한 고찰: 언어행위 이론(Speech-act theory)의 통찰을 활용하여 = A Thought on the Need to Retrieve a Trinitarian Ontology of Scripture: In the Light of Speech-act Theory

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The overarching aim of this study is to emphasize the urgent need to retrieve an ontology of Scripture in order to overcome the fatal weakness of a functional bibliology, and to suggest ``a trinitarian ontology of Scripture`` as a more promising theological account of Scripture. Facing the challenge of postmodernism, postliberal theology attempts to restore Scripture`s authority in terms of the function of Scripture, which forms the identity of the faith communities and transforms them in the concrete life situations. Put differently, by way of attributing the authority of Scripture to ``the use of Scripture by the community`` instead of ``the intrinsic property of Scripture,`` postliberal`s functional bibliology fails to do full justice to the relationship of Scripture with the triune God. In spite of its contribution to rediscover the importance of the interpreting community by linking intimately Scripture with the community, a postliberal view of Scripture lacks a dogmatic and ontological account of Scripture, which considers Scripture to have an external and objective authority as the viva vox Dei. From this emerges the need to retrieve an ontological view of Scripture, which claims to begin with talk of Scripture from the relation of Scripture with God who speaks in and through it. On account of the centrality of the doctrine of the triune God and the pattern of authority, a Christian account of Scripture ought to be, above all, a ``trinitarian ontology of Scripture,`` which could provide our talk of Scripture with an interpretative framework to understand both ontology and function, authority and performance, and meaning and embodiment in a more integrated way. Appropriating the concepts and insights of speech-act theory, we can speak of Scripture as ``the triune God`s communicative-performative speech-act.`` Scripture as God`s communicative speech-act makes us the people of God and brings us into the covenantal relation with God in the economy of divine revelation and redemption. In this sense, Scripture as God`s mighty speech-act is also ``God`s covenantal speech-act.`` Surely, the supreme authority of Scripture is rooted in ``the divine use of Scripture``, not ``the churchly use of it.`` The interpretation, performance, and embodiment of Scripture in the life of the community is the subsequent consequence of the divine use and performance of it, and thus cannot be the root of Scripture`s authority. Furthermore, a trinitarian ontological view of Scripture recognizes anew the hermeneutical significance of the Spirit in talk of Scripture and by so doing reaffirms ``the mutual bond of the Word and the Spirit,`` one of the Reformed thoughts on Scripture.
