摘要
"耶稣基督的神性与人性"是西方神学界长期争论激烈的话题,也是弥尔顿创作的重要主题。弥尔顿首先在神学著作《基督教教义》里阐释了耶稣的双重性身份,并指出,人性是耶稣身份的基础和根本;在晚年创作的《复乐园》里,弥尔顿更加深刻地选择耶稣为史诗的主人公,将他设置在荒野里接受撒旦的十次诱惑,旨在全面彰显耶稣的人性,使其人性历经试炼而达至最高点,获得神性,因为在弥尔顿看来,只有当人性完全抵制住诱惑并彻底击败邪恶时,神性才会显现并与完美的人性相融合。
"Jesus Christ's divinity and humanity" has been a hot topic in the Westem theology and is also an important issue in John Milton's writings. Milton first expounds Christ's dual identity in his theological treatise Christian Doctrine, highlighting that humanity is the essential basis of Christ's identity. Later in Paradise Regained, Milton chooses Christ as the epic hero and places him in the wildemess to be exposed to Satan's ten temptations which are particularly designed to try Christ's humanity in almost every aspect. Hence, Christ's humanity undergoes trials of all kinds before reaching its summit at which, Milton believes, divinity waits to reveal and integrate itself with humanity when and only when humanity resists all temptations and completely defeats evil.
