The #MeToo hashtag and campaign raises important questions for Christian public theology. In 2017, a church sign at Gustavus Adolphus church in New York City connected Jesus with #MeToo through Jesus’ words ‘You did this to me too’ (Matthew 25:40). This church sign offers appropriate recognition of the theological solidarity of Jesus with #MeToo at a metaphorical level, but this article argues a more direct historical connection should also be made. It examines work by Tombs (1999), Heath (2011), Gafney (2013), and Trainor (2014) that go beyond theological solidarity to identify Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse in a more historical and literal sense. It concludes that naming Jesus as victim of sexual abuse is not just a matter of correcting the historical record but can also help churches to address the damage caused by victim blaming or shaming.

#MeToo耶稣:将耶稣命名为性虐待的受害者

#MeToo标签和竞选活动为基督教公众神学提出了重要问题。2017年,纽约市古斯塔夫·阿道夫(Gustavus Adolphus)教堂的教堂标志通过耶稣的话``你也对我这样做''将耶稣与#MeToo相连(马太福音25:40)。这个教堂的标志在隐喻层面上适当地承认了耶稣与#MeToo在神学上的团结,但本文认为也应建立更直接的历史联系。它考察了古墓(1999),希思(2011),加夫尼(2013)和培训师(2014)所做的工作,这些工作超出了神学上的团结,从历史上和字面意义上将耶稣确定为性虐待的受害者。结论是,将耶稣命名为性虐待的受害者不仅是纠正历史记录的问题,而且还可以帮助教会解决因受害者指责或羞辱而造成的破坏。
