基督教赞美诗与道教道诗中的“神”与“人”

“God” and “Man” in Christian Hymn and Taoist Exhorting Poetry

“神”与“人”的关系是一切宗教所要解决的核心问题之一。宗教的根本在于如何实现“人”向“神”的升华与超越。但由于文化背景的不同,东西方宗教关于人神问题,如神人的地位、神人的品格、神对人的超越方式等方面皆表现出一定的差异。以西方宗教的代表基督教与土生土长的中国宗教道教中的“人”与“神”为例,二者在神人概念及神人关系方面存在一定的差异,但在反映人类精神生活的本质方面又表现出一致性。

The relation between ＂god＂ and ＂man＂ is one of the core problems all religions need to solve. The essential religious issue lies in the realization of ＂man＂ transformation to ＂ god＂ and tran- scendence of ＂god＂, but due to different cultural background there exists certain divergence concerning the problem of ＂god＂ and ＂man＂ in the east and west religions, such as their status, character and means of ＂god＂ transcendence of ＂man＂. In Christianity and Taoism, divergence exists in their concept of ＂god＂ and ＂man＂ and their view of the relation, but consistency emerges in their expression of the essence of human spiritual lives.
