去其偏颇 得其神明——鲁迅与《圣经》简论

Lu Xun and the Bible

鲁迅一生坚持科学,反对各教派宣扬的宗教神话,但却将了解宗教视为必要的修养。因此,从他丰富的著述中我们可以看到,他对世界三大著名宗教——基督教、佛教和伊斯兰教十分熟稔,多有论述,对那些较小的宗教流派也有一定的研究和阐释。本文侧重论述了鲁迅与基督教经典《圣经》的密切关系、对《圣经》的评价、对《圣经》故事的改编,以及对《圣经》词语典故的灵活运用。

Although Lu Xun persisted in science in his lifetime and opposed religious myth spread by sectari- ans, he regarded the understanding of religions as a necessary accomplishment. From his works we can see that, he was very familiar with the three major religions Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, and he made many discus- sions on them. He also studied and explained about some smaller religious schools. Through the evaluation on the Bible, the adaption of the Bible stories and the flexible application of the words and quotations in the Bible, the close relationship between Lu Xun and the Bible is discussed.
