This essay explores the overlapping territory between the phenomenon known as ‘imaginative resistance’ in literary, psychological and philosophical circles and Karl Barth's theological hermeneutic. Imaginative resistance refers to the way readers are willing to give consent to all sorts of implausible things in the context of a fiction, but become uneasy when asked to imagine that something they consider morally or ethically reprehensible is good. The essay offers an overview of the current scholarly theories regarding the origins of the phenomenon of imaginative resistance, arguing that none of them provide an adequate account of imaginative resistance in relation to a text read as ‘Word of God’. The essay suggests that Karl Barth's theological hermeneutic does not offer a ‘solution’ to imaginative resistance in relation to scripture, but rather deepens and redescribes it in meaningful ways by acknowledging the appropriateness of the interpreter's resistance while encouraging continued engagement even with the claims of challenging biblical texts.

隔离文本：卡尔·巴特（Karl Barth），圣经的解释和富有想象力的抵抗

本文探讨了文学界，心理学界和哲学界称为“想象力抵抗”的现象与卡尔·巴特的神学诠释学之间的重叠领域。想象力抵抗指的是读者愿意在小说的语境中同意各种令人难以置信的事情的方式，但是当被要求想象他们认为在道德上或道德上应受谴责的东西是好事时，就会感到不安。这篇文章概述了关于想象力抵抗现象的起源的当前学术理论，认为它们都没有提供足够的关于想象力抵抗力的解释，与被称为“上帝之道”的文本有关。这篇文章表明，卡尔·巴特（Karl Barth）的神学诠释学并未为与圣经有关的想象性抵抗提供“解决方案”，
