Abstract This theoretical essay outlines the hermeneutic of Divine relationship, a theological lens through which Christians can develop a deeper appreciation for God’s inherently relational nature and desire to be in relationship with all of humanity. In addition to the nature of God, this hermeneutic highlights the nature of human persons, sin and suffering, reconciliation, and hope. In each of these areas, God’s love for human creation and humanity’s need for intimate relationship are underscored. For marriage and family therapists (MFTs), clinicians who are taught to think about the world in terms of relationships, a hermeneutic of Divine relationship can have profound implications for the ways in which they conceptualize and practice family therapy and engage in personal relationship with clients. Given the significance of this hermeneutic for Christian MFTs, this essay also includes considerations for educating MFTs in matters of Divine relationship and training them to integrate the hermeneutic into their practice of marriage and family therapy.

神圣关系的诠释：对基督徒婚姻和家庭治疗师的教育和培训的启示

摘要 这篇理论文章概述了神圣关系的诠释学，这是一个神学镜头，通过它，基督徒可以更深入地欣赏上帝与全人类建立关系的内在关系本质和愿望。除了上帝的本性之外，这种诠释法还强调了人的本性、罪恶与苦难、和解和希望。在这些领域中的每一个领域，都强调了上帝对人类创造的爱和人类对亲密关系的需要。对于婚姻和家庭治疗师 (MFT)，即被教导从关系的角度思考世界的临床医生，对神圣关系的诠释可以对他们概念化和实践家庭治疗以及与客户建立个人关系的方式产生深远的影响.
