论《神曲》对基督教文化的诗性阐释

The Christian Poetic Interpretation of Divine Comedy

在多元文化并兴的今天,基督教思想对人类文明的影响越来越受到学界的关注,但丁的《神曲》就是一部对中世纪基督教神学思想进行诗性阐释的经典性作品。它以捍卫基督精神的纯洁性为目的,以宏扬基督教文化为使命,整部作品贯穿了强烈的精神信仰内涵:在对上帝的敬仰中实现人生幸福,在惩恶扬善中获得自我救赎,在对邪恶的审判中纯洁基督精神。这一切都源于诗人对耶稣基督思想的崇拜和信仰。《神曲》的整体结构充满了神性色彩,作品的寓言性和丰富的象征手法使作品的诗性更为浓厚。《神曲》对基督精神的诗性阐释强化了西方文化中精神信仰的崇高地位,从而对近代西方基督教文化的发展产生了深远影响。

Nowadays,with the bloom of multi-cultures,the contribution of Christianity to human civilization attracts more and more attention from the academic circles. Divine Comedy by Dante is a classic that interprets poetically Medieval Christian theology. To take safeguarding the purity of Christian as its purpose and to regard spreading Christianity as its mission,the whole book is permeated with spiritual faith：to reach individual happiness by worshipping God,to realize self-redemption from punishing the evil and praising the good,to purify Christian belief through the trial of evil. All of the above originated from the poet＇s worship of Jesus and his belief in Christianity. The entire composition of the epic is colored of divinity. The abundant use of allegory and symbolism strengthens its poetic quality. The poetic interpretation of ＂Divine Comedy＂ consolidates the high status of spiritual belief in Occidental culture and exerts profound and far-reaching impact on the development of Christianity in modern times.
