This article examines the contribution of Jesus as an innovator to a public world in need of change. Jesus, as the fulfilment of God, is interpreted using the insights of Josef Schumpeter who argued for innovation as social change through creative recombination. The potential of recombination is located in the wisdom literature of the Hebrew Bible and then in Pauline literature, with ministry in 1 Corinthians portrayed as serving, gardening, building, resourcing, risking and parenting. These six practices are theorized as recombinations in which Paul seeks social change. Recombination is further tested through analysis of Jesus as a socially (ir)responsible innovator. An illustrative example, of an innovative Christian response to food insecurity, is provided to demonstrate a recombination that is socially (ir)responsible in challenging existing practices of consumption. Hence innovation is sourced in Jesus, as One who empowers socially (ir)responsible public formations that bear witness to God’s wisdom.

耶稣作为对社会（Ir）负责的创新者：在智慧基督论与社会企业家精神的对话中寻求共同利益

本文考察了耶稣作为创新者对需要变革的公共世界的贡献。耶稣，作为上帝的实现，被解释为使用约瑟夫熊彼特的见解，他主张创新是通过创造性重组的社会变革。重组的潜力存在于希伯来圣经的智慧文学中，然后是保罗文学中，哥林多前书的事工被描绘为服务、园艺、建筑、资源、冒险和养育子女。这六种实践被理论化为保罗寻求社会变革的重组。通过对耶稣作为社会（不）负责任的创新者的分析，重组得到进一步检验。一个说明性的例子，基督教对粮食不安全的创新反应，提供以证明在挑战现有消费习惯方面对社会（不）负责的重组。因此，创新源于耶稣，作为赋予社会（不）负责任的公共组织权力的那一位，这些组织见证了上帝的智慧。
