《耶稣之子》中的信仰重塑——美国战后颓靡青年的罪恶之源与救赎之路

Reshaping Belief in “Jesus' Son”——The Original Sin and Salvation for American Post-war Youths

丹尼斯·约翰逊在其《耶稣之子》里埋藏下一条内在的基督教主线和与之相对应的节点,即"知罪、渴望重生和自律"。小说集探讨了美国战后青年人的罪恶之源和救赎之路,揭示出作者对战后缺失精神信仰青年一代的人文关怀,以及对人生价值深层含义的伦理道德判断。作品表现了现实的残酷和怪诞,存在的虚无和痛苦,反映了作者对人类生存状况的深刻忧患意识,讽喻了美国社会陷入"道德危机"背后的根源。

Dennis Johnson made a node for the main plot of Christianity and its correspondence,that is,＂confession,eagerness to rebirth and self-discipline＂. The novel is mainly about the origin sin and way of salvation of American post-war youths,which reveals the author＇s humanistic concern for the generation who are lack of belief,ethical-moral judgment on the deep value of life. The cruelty and absurdity of reality is expressed in the story. Nihility and pain of the existence reflects the author＇s anxiety for people＇s living condition,which reveals the root of ＂moral crisis＂in the American society with a satirical metaphor.
