约翰.厄普代克是当今美国最重要的作家之一。基督神学是他在小说中频频涉及的主题。小说《兔子,跑吧》是作家的宗教思想的集中体现之作。在这部小说中,厄普代克从宗教神学的角度分析了西方社会的信仰危机,强调坚持对超验的上帝的绝对信仰才是出路。文学与心灵、宗教探索相结合,使厄普代克的作品成为一面面镜子。 John Updike is one of the most important American writers today. Christ theology is a topic he frequently deals with in novels. The novel “Rabbit, Running” is a concentrated expression of the writer’s religious thought. In this novel, Updike analyzed the crisis of belief in Western societies from the perspective of religious theology and emphasized that it is a way out of adhering to the absolute belief in a transcendental God. Literature and soul, religious exploration combined to make Updike’s work into a mirror.
