초록

The Bible can be read from the perspective of other faith traditions, because interfaith interpretation looks at ourselves as others see us, so that we may be able to see ourselves more clearly. The Biblical text is the product of complex interaction among many different cultures, so discovering of the intra textual dynamics will open new horizons to see how the Bible functions today. In order to expand the interpretive community of reading the steward’s debt-reduction in Jesus’ parable, this work adopts multiple perspectives of M. Bakhtin’s dialogism, Wõnhyo’s hwajaeng philosophy, and Ch’oe Che-u’s subsumed-transcendental thoughts on Hanullim (God). They are invited to bring their unique questions in this reading process, questions that may not be heard of before, whereby a transactional nanjang (亂場) can take place. Nanjang, an open place as the medieval marketplace, allows multiple voices to be boisterously mixed up and chattered in a mess without restraint. Here, Wõnhyo’s hwajaeng characterizes its ultimate task for the resolution of discrepancies to be undertaken, trying to reveal the truth by cutting off any conceptual hallucination resorting to the words. Bakhtin’s carnivalesque concept of nanjang is to open, accept and embrace one another in equality. Ch’oe Che-u’s thought that humans are subsumed by God but nevertheless not subordinated, further energizes dynamics of nanjang in terms of the logic of “opposition-coincidence” among the figures of master, steward, peasant debtors, Pharisees, older son and younger brother, and father; all of them are in diverse ways speaking out the meaning and significance of the steward’s debt-reduction in relation to relocation, redistribution and reconciliation. Revolving around the master’s commendation, dynamics of nanjang successfully peels off all disguise in the sacral, particularly illegitimate attachment to possession. Falsity and avarice, ambushed under the dominant language, rigorously turned inside out and lampooned. Divinity and humanity are not disparate to each other, though not one; subsumed but not subordinated.
