Abstract:To interpret biblical texts appropriately, it is important to understand the social institutions and scripts that underlie the text. The similarities between some concepts of personality in first-century Mediterranean society and the Akan society of Ghana makes it possible to read the letter to the Hebrews (hereafter referred to as Hebrews) through the lens of an Akan understanding of personality, enabling us to appreciate Hebrews in much the same way as first-century Mediterraneans. To demonstrate this, this article discusses some relevant theories on personality in first-century Mediterranean society, as well as some concepts of personality of the Akan people of Ghana. It further discusses the portrait of the persons addressed in Hebrews through the lens of some relevant aspects of an Akan concept of personality.

从阿寒人的人格视角看希伯来书

摘要：要恰当地解释圣经文本，重要的是要了解文本背后的社会制度和脚本。一世纪地中海社会的一些人格概念与加纳的阿坎社会的一些相似之处，使得我们可以通过阿坎人对人格的理解来阅读写给希伯来人（以下简称希伯来人）的信，使我们能够领会希伯来人的方式与第一世纪的地中海人大致相同。为了证明这一点，本文讨论了一些关于公元一世纪地中海社会人格的相关理论，以及加纳阿坎人的一些人格概念。它通过阿坎人格概念的一些相关方面的镜头，进一步讨论了希伯来书中提到的人的画像。
