ABSTRACT

Because ideology is basically inevitable, we ought to make clear the materialist ideology at work in the story of the cosmos told by Big History. Ted Peters’ book, God in Cosmic History, exposes the Big History ideology when introducing a theological rendering of the same story of our universe. Ideology need only be made transparent, not eliminated. Perhaps this observation could aid current re-writers of American history to tell the story honestly, the story that includes chapters on both slavery and liberation. Might this lead America to cross a new threshold of possible axial import?

大历史和宇宙历史能帮助美国讲述自己的故事吗？将 Ted Peters 的工作应用于我们的未来

摘要

因为意识形态在本质上是不可避免的，所以我们应该弄清楚大历史讲述的宇宙故事中的唯物主义意识形态在起作用。Ted Peters 的书《宇宙历史中的上帝》在介绍我们宇宙的同一故事的神学渲染时揭示了大历史意识形态。意识形态只需要透明化，而不是消除。也许这一观察可以帮助当前的美国历史改写者诚实地讲述这个故事，这个故事包括关于奴隶制和解放的章节。这是否会导致美国跨越可能轴向进口的新门槛？
