theism的词源解释,theism来源

theism(n.1)

1670年代,“信仰一个或多个神灵”(与 atheism 相对); 到1711年,“信仰一个神”(与 polytheism 相对); 到1714年,“信仰上帝作为宇宙的创造者和统治者的存在”(与 deism 相对),通常是现代的意义; 见 theist + -ism

Theism assumes a living relation of God to his creatures, but does not define it. It differs from deism in that the latter is negative and involves a denial of revelation, while the former is affirmative, and underlies Christianity. One may be a theist and not be a Christian, but he cannot be a Christian and not be a theist. [Century Dictionary]
有神论假定上帝与他的创造物之间存在着生动的关系,但并没有定义它。它与自然神论的区别在于后者是否定的,涉及到否认启示,而前者是肯定的,并构成了基督教的基础。一个人可以是有神论者而不是基督徒,但他不能是基督徒而不是有神论者。[世纪词典]
