Drawing on the work of Stanley J. Grenz and Paul Ricoeur, this article proposes a communal, narrative, and ecclesial response to what Grenz calls ‘the dissipation of the self’ after modernity. Tracing briefly the rise of the self-sufficient self of modernity attention is then given to the deconstructed self of postmodernity. The article then utilizes the imago Dei as a theological resource, in conversation with Grenz and Ricoeur, for the reconstruction of the postmodern self along communal, narrative, and ecclesial lines. The final conclusion is that the postmodern self receives theological relief in the form of the ‘ecclesial self’ constituted in trinitarian community ‘in Christ’ and through the Spirit within Christ’s new humanity.

神学视角下的后现代自我：一种公共的、叙事的和教会的方法

本文借鉴了 Stanley J. Grenz 和 Paul Ricoeur 的工作，对 Grenz 所谓的现代性之后的“自我消散”提出了一种公共的、叙事的和教会的回应。简要追溯现代性自给自足的自我的兴起，然后将注意力转向后现代性的解构自我。然后，文章利用上帝之意作为神学资源，与格伦茨和利科对话，沿着公共、叙事和教会的路线重建后现代自我。最后的结论是，后现代自我以“教会自我”的形式获得了神学上的解脱，这种形式在三位一体的团体中“在基督里”并通过基督新人性中的圣灵而构成。
