圣经读后感(英文) 篇1

The Feeling after Reading the New Testament Holly BibleThe first time that I touched The Bible is in Peter’s home.I was introduced to an English Corner by a good friend.And before that, I have no idea about The Bible and Nazarenes.Until we almost went into Peter’s home, she told me that Peter is a Nazarene and he taught us English lover something about The Bible.I wanted to have a try because of my curiosity.When all of us got into his house, we all felt enthusiastic about each other.Peter prepared dinner for us, and he said to us that all Nazarenes are the family of each other, and all Nazarenes are equal, they help with each other, they share things with each other, and they prepare food for each other for free.Then, we new students received a book The New Testament Holly Bible from Peter;he said that we can see this Bible as a story about Jesus or a Foreigner book to improve our English and know about some European culture.We learned some soft songs about The Bible, smiles on everyone’s face.After that, we started our study of Bible.Bible was commonly described as “a greatest book”.Though The Bible was finished before two thousand years ago, it still has a deep effect among people in nowadays, including all kinds of people, such as leaders, sportsmen or scientists and so on.Several of them read and studied The Bible.To open The Bible is always beneficial.But, it also has some ideas that I can not accept it completely for that I am an atheist.I do not hold that there is someone who has the ability to survive all the people in the world.I had an argue with Peter in this question and I also ask some other friends’ opinion about matter, they all considered that Jesus is the most perfect existence in the world, and he rescued our world, so that we can live at present.The Nazarenes see Jesus as a goddess in Chinese mythology, however, in fact, we Chinese people only serve the great woman as a dream, and we do not fall into the mixture of reality and dummy.In the Bible, they think all the people have sins, and the Jesus was punished because of our sins.Whoever wants to go to the heaven instead of hails must go through him, this is the only way.Jesus is the only cross to the rebirth places.All Nazarenes believe that Jesus is the only one who is perfect completely and he has no sins, so, he is the only person who has the qualification to survive others and undertake their sins.Jesus rescued us, he died.These Nazarenes regard Jesus as God from above, just as The Bible saying, no shortcomings.They obey Jesus and believe in Jesus totally.Whoever believes in Jesus has an eternal life.As what we old emperors did in the past, their orders must be carried out follow emperors’ opinions.That is to say, most of Nazarenes live without their own thoughts and understandings;they live under others’ favors, which is quite foolish and lamentable.At the end of this book, I knew that if I do something good for others, I may get encourage and rewards from that God, otherwise, the God may punish me.Just as the old saying goes, “what is coming not rewarded, not the time.” This are the profound consideration that I get from The Bible, let religious faith become a way of comfort instead of an edged tool used by common people.I believe our world will be better than before.

1 Introduction to Tennessee Williams and A Streetcar Named Desire

American drama has been acknowledged as an expression of mature art with an international interest since 1936 when Eugene O'Neill won the Nobel Prize.After the WWII,while a lot of literature has trapped into the subject of wars,a young playwright's The Glass Menagerie shocked audience with its sentimental poesy story and enjoyed a Broadway success.He is Tennessee Williams,whose second play A Streetcar Named Desire runs for855 performances and becomes the first play ever to win all three major awards,the Pulitzer Prize,the New York Drama Critics'Award,and the Donaldson Award.Wang Yiqun says that Williams is the most excellent playwright because he is both prolific and insightful.As a result,he wins the New York Drama Critics'Award four times and the Pulitzer Prize twice.[1]

1.1 A brief introduction to Tennessee Williams as an Ameri-can first rank playwright

Tennessee Williams(1911-1983)is regarded as one of the most important three American playwrights and the other two are O'Neill and Arthur Miller.His real name is Thomas Lanier Williams.He was born in Clarksdale,Mississippi and"reared in the rectory of his grandfather,the Reverend Walter Dakin,he felt the prestige of being called'the preacher's boy'.His father was a traveling-salesman appearing only often enough to upset the tranquil household and frighten his children.His mother,Edwina,had the beauty and social inclination of a Southern belle."[2]Growing up in this religious-female-dominated environment doubtless gave Tomas the empathy shown in the plays and the woman characters created by the playwright Tennessee.

Tennessee Williams is the front rank playwright in American theatre,as Roudanépoints out:

"If such playwrights as Eugene O'Neill,Susan Glaspell Thornton Wilder,and Clifford Odets dominate American theatre in the first half of the twentieth century,and Arthur Miller,Edward Albee,Lorraine Hansberry,Sam Shepard,and,among many others,David Mamet the second half,Tennessee Williams animates the middle years of the century.In a very real sense,then Tennessee Williams inhabits a central place within the American theatre.The centrality of Williams's theatre,however,has less connection with chronology and more with the original nature o his theatrical imagination.While O'Neill was the tragic dramatist and Miller remains the theatrician of the ethical,Williams emerged as the poet of the heart,a master of sensitive characterization,and a writer of an exquisite tastes."[2]

1.2 A brief introduction to the story of A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire tells a simple story.Blanche DuBois,a faded South belle,whose family once possessed property in Mississippi and title to position in the circle of refined Southern respectability,has been reduced to the lowest financia estate.She has taught English in a high school.But she has los her job and has come to stay with her younger sister Stella in New Orleans.Blanche expects to find Stella living in an environment compatible with their former background,but finds instead that Stella is in the kind of sordid neighborhood.Blanche is shocked at these Elysian Fields(literally the name of this particular spot in New Orleans,just as the streetcar she took to reach it is actually called Desire).She is even more shocked by her sister's husband,Stanley Kowalski,an ex-sergeant,a machine salesman,and a rather primitive,almost bestial,while handsome man full of animal vitality.Blanche finds herself no match for his sexual hold over Stella.

Mitch,one of Stanley's poker pals,is attracted by Blanche's delicate beauty and genteel manners.Blanche almost succeeds in winning him over after she confides in him about her past-her marriage with a handsome young man,her discovery of her husband's homosexuality and his horrendous suicide.However,Stanley reveals to Mitch that Blanche was forced to leave her hometown because of her promiscuity and alcoholism.Blanche's dream of marrying Mitch and starting a new life is totally smashed.After Stella is rushed to hospital with labor pains,Stanley rapes Blanche both physically and spiritually.In the end,Blanche is sent to a mental institution,with nothing but the kindness of strangers to depend on.

2 Literary Review of the Research on the Play

Critics have focused on three points about Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire.They are the declined South,the frustrated Southern belle and the sex depiction.

2.1 A reflection to the conflict and contrast between the old South and the new world

Many critics comment this play takes people into violent contrast between a South dreamworld and an animalistic realism.Tennessee Williams traces a path pioneered by such famous Southern writers as William Faulkner and sings an elegy of the decline of the South,which is symbolized by the deteriorated South belle,Blanche DuBois.George Jean Nathan says,"Impressionistically,the play suggests a wayward bus occupied by William Faulkner and James Cain,all tipsy and all telling stories simultaneously,and with Williams,cocking his ear to assimilate the goings-on,as the conductor"[3].Ren Shengming comments that the play is a metaphor,in which Blanche represents the old fantastic South and Stanley the new industrial material world.[4]Annette finds Williams sets all his plays in the"Southern social scene"and A Streetcar Named Desire"offers a parable of the conflicts and values of American society at mid-century and mediates the awesome polarity of the nature and civilization,fact and fancy,so central to Williams…"[5].Wang Yiqun summarizes that Tennessee Williams is deep in his South background and closely connected by a blood tie with Faulkner,Thomas Wolfe and Carson McCullers.[1]

2.2 Portrayals of two kinds of women characters,mainly the frustrated Southern women

The majority of comments on the play stresses Tennessee Williams's portrayal of a pathetic and melodramatic protagonist,Blanche DuBois,for whom Williams is most renowned-the neurotic Southern white woman of aristocratic origin.Desmond Reid says Blanche is"perhaps Williams's most forlorn character.She has been a gentlewoman knowing wealth and ease;now she is destitute,an alcoholic,an ageing nymphomaniac.She scrabbles frantically for a hold,something with which to lift herself from the depth.…Human beings crumble under strain or loneliness"[3].Robert Emmet Jones says:

"There are basically two types of women in the plays of Williams:the women who are the relics of the moribund tradition of gentility in which Williams himself was reared,women who are unable to accept the twentieth century and who prefer living in the illusive and legendary world of something that never really was-the mythically cavalier Old South;and the healthy,uncultured,basically sensual women,usually of Latin origin,by whom Williams has been attracted in his more recent plays,and who seem to have been conceived by their creator,if not as representatives of a sort of salvation,then at least as attractive earth goddesses whose salvation is their own sexuality.However,the former type is his real success and contribution to literature."[3]

The two sisters fall into the category,the elder the former type and the younger the latter.The focus,naturally,has been on Blanche and her ruin.

2.3 Fighting between the opposite sexes

Ren Shengming mentions that A Streetcar Named Desire is influenced by Freudianism and D.H.Lawrence.And sex becomes an outlet of the modern people's despair.Unfortunately,differen from Lawrence,Williams believes that sex will leads to a worse situation.[4]R.Brustein comments that the conflict between Blanche and Stanley implies the conflict between women's gentility and men's libido.[4]The playwright has been severely criticized for this point and his implication of gay or lesbain."No American playwright before Williams eroticized the stage the way Williams did.…Williams presents what John M.Clum calls a'sex/gender system'that only recently has been more fully appreciated by both homosexual and heterosexual audiences."[2]

Critics pours numerous comments on the play while little attention has been paid to his Christian background and the biblical empathy in this play.Therefore,this paper aims at an analysis on the biblical archetypal symbols in the play and hopes to reveal a grand look about the intention of Tennessee Williams's masterpiece.

3 Frazer,Jung and Frye's Theory of the Displaced Archetypal Structure

The introduction to archetypal criticism involves James G Frazer and Carl Gustav Jung(1875-1961).The word"archetype"according to Jung,was much used in ancient Greek,"arche meaning'roor'and'origin'while typos'pattern'or'model'"[6]The modern concept of the archetype appeared in the late nineteenth century,referring to the recurring literary phenomena such as motifs,themes,and narrative designs."The first one to use the concept in the sense it now appears in contemporary archetypa criticism is cultural anthropologist James G.Frazer at the turn of the century,to explain the structural principles behind the archetypal myths and rituals in the tales and ceremonies of diverse cultures."[6]Jung agreed with Frazer that myth was the means by which the primitive people experienced the world,bu to him myth concerns humanity in general,including modern men,via a concept called collective unconsciousness.Jung believes that collective unconsciousness is the reason why a piece of literature can hear its echo throughout hundreds and even thousands years.The Canadian scholar Northrop Frye(1912-1991)developed the concept with the literary archetypes in the1950s.

Frye is best remembered for the Anatomy of Criticism(1957),which expresses his belief shared by the New Critics and literary psychoanalysts that literary criticism should possess the methodological displine and coherence of the natural science.For him,the coherence reveals itself in the recurrence of archetypes in literature,and the discipline he works out is the schematic structure of literature.The Bible serves as a great source of archetypes to Frye.[6]

In his Anatomy of Criticism,Frye presents three archetypal symbolic structures.The first is the undisplaced archetypes,the second is legendary and romantic,and the third is of realism.This paper finds much in common with the first structure.

1)A god or a devil turns up in two opposite symbolic worlds:one is an ideal world symbolized by the Heaven or Eden;the other a devil's world,the realistic earth.Frye calls the former the image of Revelation where Jesus Christ centers and the latter the image of man with Satan as the seducer.

2)In the structure there is a theme-seeking.

3)The dilemma of man.[7]Naturally,detailed symbols often speak for the playwright when he consciously or unconsciously falls into the"collective unconsciousness"to picture his delicate play.

4 An Analysis of the Archetypes in Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire

Apparently,there are two contrast environments in the play,which is equivalent to Frye's undisplaced archetypal structure.It lays the base for the whole setting of the play and creates similar tragic sense among audience when the Eden is lost and human being are driven to the earth.This sense is confirmed by the theme of Blanche's seeking for salvation.Furthermore,three characters in the play symbolize Jesus Christ,Satan and Adam.Coherently,the play reveals the author's deliberate design of a biblical archetype to impress his audience a tragedy of the famous religious sacrifice and provoke the social significance of man's spiritual salvation in modern society.

4.1 The archetype of the settings

There are two types of environment in the play.One is the flat in New Orleans and the other the Belle Reve.New Orleans originates from the archetype of the cursed earth and the Belle Reve is the symbol of the Eden.

The play starts with the scene in New Orleans,a sordid and filthy wastland.The first feature is that there is no green plants or any sign of nature.People are restricted in the bounded spots,mainly the small crowded flat.Frye says that a devil's world is always characteristic by its boldness and isolation.[8]Everything on the earth is bounded and cursed as a punishment because of the first sin resulted from Satan's seducement.[9]The second feature is the terrible heat.People complain a lot about the hot weather as if they were in"fire"or"furnace".It's very true that fire and heat are the symbols of the evil.Frye mentions that a world of fire is the evilest place in the world like Sodom and Gomorrah in Bible.The third symbol is the pack of raw meat Stanley throws to Stella.Raw meat in Frye's theory is also a metaphor of sparagmos in the savage state.The fourth one is that Stanley rapes Blanche finally and it's incest,which is a reoccurring image in Frye's depiction of the realistic evil world.

Oppositely,Blanche comes from Belle Reve,a beautiful plantation which she has lost due to her financial incompetence.Garden is the major symbol in the ideal world.Eden,actually,is a garden.Trees symbolize liveliness.Beautiful birds and stocks are the common images in the Heaven as well.What's more,the Garden of Eden finally is lost.So the archetype of the lost paradise becomes the dreamlike Belle Reve,which people cling to while it is impossible for them to come back after the first sin Belle Reve is not only the symbol of the Old South as some critics argue.Williams says himself,"Belle Reve is a home for al the people who are eager to find a shelter and it is a dream instead of a real house."[2]"The squalid dwellings which are the homes of his characters symbolizes the decay and corruption o our world".[3]

Hence,the contrast between these two places becomes implicit and tense.The lost Belle Reve remains there as an illusion because there is no way for Blanche or Stella to return.They are bounded in New Orleans and they are seeking for a salvation Williams designs such a tense contrast that his audience fee both naturalistically and spiritually real.The setting archetype paves the path to people's expectation of a further developmen of a biblical theme.

4.2 The archetype of the seeking theme of the play

Williams excels in the theme of seeking in A Streetcar Named Desire and the strongest sense of tragedy can be found in this point,too.Frye concludes that the Bible,in both general and particular structure,follows a routine of"U"of seeking.

There is mainly one kind of seeking in the play,Blanche's Blanche's seeking starts from the Belle Reve.After her husband's committing suicide,she begins her journey of looking for her own beauty or value by her amatory adventures.She shoulders all the burden and wanders in the evil wasteland.She is not welcomed and the world is hostile to her.She talks to her sister and hoping to pull Stella back from the corrupted world,yet fails.She finds Mitch,who is superior to those devils,and shares her secrets with him.But she fails as well when she almost wins.Finally,she is declared abnormal and sent to a mentalhouse.Blanche's journey ends at that moment."The play's story shows us Blanche's seeking haven in a simple,healthy person and that in this,too,she is defeated because everything in her environment conspires to degrade the meaning of her tragic situation.She is an almost willing vitim of the world that has trapped her and in which she can find'peace'only by accepting the verdict of her unfitness for'normal life."[3]

In the Bible,a general seeking path also starts from the moment of the awareness of sin.Then follow confession and sacrifice,which,however,do not help.Any mortal man in this world cannot achieve the ascension.The seeking journey stops at the hopelessness of the realistic world.These neither of the two seeking journeys can run a circle,which implies the perfection and the routine of"U"means the impossibility and gap between human's ideal and reality.

4.3 The archetypes of the characters in the play

The play pictures two characters,Blanche&Stanley,apparently and the third kind of character implicitly.Blanche echoes to the archetype of Jesus Christ,Stanley the opposite side,Satan and the third human beings symbolized by Mitch.

4.3.1 Blanche vs.Jesus Christ

Frye's theory has an important concept of"displacement"Blanche seems a displaced Jesus Christ.First,Williams mentions the color of white with Blanche 22 times and the image of water34 times in the play.Such numbers are not mere counting o word repetition.And white in the Bible symbolizes purity and perfection.Jesus Christ is always in white.Blanche is in the white dress,white hat and white gloves when the play starts.She looks like a white moth or a white angel in Mitch's eye.The very name of her,Blanche,is a French word meaning the color of white as well.The color of white is holy in the Bible and Williams's emphasis on it implies his real intention of the portrayal of Blanche.She symbolizes the purity and perfection of Jesus Christ.Water shows the meaning of refinement and purifying the same way.

Second,Blanche's teaching is also a symbol.She was a teacher and has been deprived the right of teaching.However when she finds Stella is fully blind about her situation,she talks to and convinces her sister to her side.When she finds Mitch a gentle and kind man,she confesses her sins and wins his trust She even talks to those who do not care about what she believes truth and beauty are.Most of the time she is rejected.That's what the Bible says about Jesus Christ.[9]

Third,the image of candle and moonlight imply the grace of Jesus Christ.In the play Blanche like the light of candle or the moon instead of the bulb because the bulb belongs to the realistic world and it's"too blinding to be endured.A naked bulb is a rude remark or vulgar action"[3].Blanche believes the value of a light is in its beauty and truth,which is embodied by love.So when Mitch speaks to her by the moonlit lake,love comes to them;later Mitch listens to Stanley and looks at her under a bulb,he changes into a man like an animal,which means the death of love.How to love is the most important issue in the New Testament of the Bible.Therefore,Williams pictures Blanche as a pure,refined,pious seeker for truth,beauty and love,whose displaced archetype in the Bible is Jesus Christ.

4.3.2 Stanley vs.Satan

Stanley shows us three features by his actions.First,he is the embodiment of animal force and brute life.Williams uses strong words to impress us.Stanley shouts,cries,yields,screams,grunts,and never speaks."He is all muscle,lumpish sensuality and crud energy.He is the unwitting antichrist of our time."[3]Satan is in the same image.Second,Stanley is as sly as the serpent in which Satan takes the form.He conspires a entire plan to drive Blanche away by spying,seducing,forcing,temptation frightening and deceiving.Satan does the same in the Old Testament and New Testament.Third,Stanley wants to revenge and be the king in his world.He cannot endure Blanche's teaching to Stella and Mitch.Thus,the battle between Stanley and Blanche is on the weak and hesitated human beings:Mitch and Stella.In the bible and Frye's theory,Satan is the seducer and beast who wants to control man.The poker games changes the New Orleans flat into a real devil's world and this symbol reveals Williams original plan of Stanley as the Devil.

4.3.3 Mitch vs.Adam and Stella vs.Eve

Mitch and Stella are crucial in the play since they are the prey for Stanley and the last hope for Blanche.Mitch and Stella are the symbols of man and woman in the world who cannot decide their life and fate.They are not meant a couple as the original archetype and the displacement helps Williams grasp a flexibility to show the weakness and dilemma of human being.

Mitch looks superior to and much more gentle than Stanley because he is a man created by God to His image and Satan deteriorates after his Fall though he was once an angle.Mitch feels lonely and needs a partner to his kind,which is the request o Adam in the Genesis.The bride he wants is Blanche.When Satan tempts him and he does wrong,Mitch puts the responsibility on Blanche and cries in his dilemma.He wants to make advance while he is afraid of his background.He cannot withdraw as he has realized the sin.Human beings are at the edge of the spiritual gap in modern society.It is the very reason why audiences have never neglected the role of Mitch,which is actually s response of echo and identity.Therefore,Mitch speaks for the playwright Williams about his concerns on the existential dilemma of modern people.At the end of the play,Blanche is leaving and Mitch is crying,which means he is not the man he was and there are still expectations on him.

Stella catches critics'attention as Eve for two reasons:one is her obedience to her husband and the other her compromise for her new-born baby.Eve is punished by God and one of the punishment is"your desire shall be for your husband,and he shall rule over you".Thus even after a slap on the face,Stella went downstairs to her husband's arms.When she is told the truth and she can have a choice at the end of the play,Stella decides to keep her family at the cost of her sister.Child is the reason why she is called Eve.Genesis says,"The man named his wife Eve,because she was the mother of all living."

5 An Implication of the Biblical Archetypal Analy-sis of the Play

Tennessee Williams's A streetcar Named Desire is one o the most popular Broadway performances.There is no deny tha Williams employment of the biblical archetypes contribute to the success of the story structure and the character portrayal.The playwright may suggest his thinking on the spiritual dilemma to his contemporaries that biblical tradition shall not be forgotten completely.

圣经读后感 篇3

大卫“就在众人面前改变了寻常的举动,在他们手下假装疯癫,在城门的门扇上胡写乱画,使唾沫流在胡子上”,因身处险境,用这一方法脱险的人不少,如孙膑。大卫“使别人的妻子拔示巴她孕,还用你借刀杀害拨示巴丈夫,在娶她为妻。这件事另上帝“不喜悦”。作为报应,大卫的两个儿子也因为女人而争斗,“红颜祸水”?

“ 天使向耶路撒冷伸手要灭城的时候,耶和华后悔,就不降这灾了”,这件事再次证明上帝的反复无常。

以智慧闻名的大卫王在年老的时候也因为迷恋女色而做出上帝禁止的事情,《列王记》就是记录了多个以色列、犹大国王的主要事迹。国王因权力而腐化,上帝派新王接替的故事一再重复,证明绝对的权利导致绝对的腐败,上帝怎么想不到来个“三权分立”。

《列王记》下编还讲到有一名叫以利沙的先知、神人以上帝之名创造了各种奇迹,实在是耶苏的前辈。“如此这些民又惧怕耶和华,又事奉他们的偶像,他们子子孙孙也都照样行,效法他们的祖宗,直到今日”,这段话含义很深:人总有所畏惧但又难以不被诱惑、利益驱使,自古以来都是一样

圣经中最富智慧的人莫过于所罗门。他在向神祈求的时候,就显出智慧来;不求金银、不求长寿、单求智慧。神应允了他的祈求,赐给他无比的智慧,是超前绝后的智慧。以至他的声名远播。普天下的王都求见所罗门,要听神赐给他的智慧话。示巴女王怀着仰慕和疑惑的心来到了耶路撒冷。见到所罗门,她用许多的难题试探所罗门,所罗门用他超绝的智慧给她一一解答。以至示巴女王诧异的神不守舍。对所罗门说:“以前听到你的风声,我还有怀疑,今日一见,才知所传的还不及真实的一半。” 列国向他臣服,给他献上各种贡物。因此所罗门的国度富有,金银堆积如山。所罗门的开销也是惊人的:他一日的饮食,肥牛几十只,羊一百只,还有各样的珍禽异兽。他所享受的,也是以色列国绝无仅有的。他以他的智慧,谛造了以色列国空前的辉煌,他在大卫的基础上,建造了圣殿,奠定了以色列民敬拜的中心。他为自己建造了宏伟的王宫。他以他的智慧讲论昆虫走兽以及花草树木,更以其智慧写出了在圣经中赫赫有名的箴言、雅歌、传道书。一位超绝智慧的拥有者,一个国家的最高统治者,一位聆听神话语的人,一个神的代言人。当我们看到雅歌书中那纯美的爱情,看到箴言那充满哲理的词句和传道书中那透彻人生的感悟。我们不得不佩服所罗门那超绝的智慧,对人生所作的剖析。

然而,就是这所罗门,在他功勋显赫的时候、在他享尽一切的荣华富贵后,他堕落了,他从埃及买来马匹,娶埃及的公主为皇后,从外邦人那里选来妃嫔,他的皇宫后院竟然眷养着千余名的“娘娘”。这还不算,他竟然还随从外邦的女子

拜她们所拜的偶像。哀哉!一代伟人竟如此的败落。当我读到这里时,总会迷惑不解,为什么明白神话语的所罗门,会作出与神相背的事来呢?他,作为圣经的作者之一,为什么会如此的糊涂呢?他,拥有如此的智慧,却行出如此的愚昧来呢?是知之易而行之难乎?

我只知愚昧出于无知,竟不知也可出于智慧。如果说愚昧人的悲哀在于无知而信,那么聪明人的悲哀在于知而不信。如果一个人对神只有理性的认识,而没有向真理降服、意志上的降服、那么可能你的信仰和生活互相分离,从而走向虚伪。因为主宰一个人的,不仅仅是他里面的理性知识,更重要的是意志。一个人不单要在理性层面追求神,更要在道德层面活出神的形象来。一个人的智慧高,在认识神的方面,无疑是一件好事,但从另外一个角度来看,智慧越高,所存的怀疑也越多。所罗门,这位一代哲人已经远去,留给我们的是深深的思索……

约珥的意思是“耶和华是神”,《约珥书》讲述约珥书蝗虫之灾是神的审判,以此呼吁以色列民悔改归向神。这位先知预言了“末日审判”,成为人类历史上最强的恐吓者。《阿摩司书》把上帝发怒比喻为“狮子吼叫”让人人害怕,阿摩司以神之名尽显他的“骂功”,针对列国发出指责和审判和咒诅以色列的敌人不在话下,就连堕落的族人也不能幸免。俄巴底亚的意思是“耶和华的仆人”,《俄巴底亚书》中这位仆人预言背逆神的势力的毁灭,神国的建立。神真有耐心创造历史。《约拿书》记载了约拿的故事,或者说他的故事本身就是预言,预言许多事物都可看作是神对人的启发。《弥迦书》中的先知弥迦被神派去安抚百姓。他的名字意思是“有谁像耶和华”,明显是想告诉大家有谁像耶和华一样“爱”世人? 那鸿的意思是安慰与报复,即上帝会安慰信徒和报复不信的人。《那鸿书》以尼尼微的灭亡为例,告诉人们不性耶和华必亡。哈巴谷是紧紧抱住不放的意思,《哈巴谷书》说明了人到无能为力时的无奈。《西番雅书》继续预言审判作恐吓。哈该的意思是神的节日,因为无聊,上帝自然很喜欢热闹,《哈该书》告诉人们上神喜欢人们给他建神殿。《撒迦利亚》中神在一连串的异象中让撒迦利亚看见他是历史的主宰,历史的进程都在他的掌握中。所以,我们可以安心凡事交托、信靠神。唉,常常发怒、要靠异象证明自己,真的是创世神吗? 《玛拉基书》是“先知书”和《旧约》的最后一卷,它呼吁人们遵守“约”等待神的最后降临。玛拉基的意思我的使者,重新先知是代神说话,因而不能不听,貌似我国历代皇帝也这么说……

看完《先知书》,关于人类终极拯救问题,我想到了道教的观点。在道教的世界观中宇宙是有生有灭的,世界毁灭时大地(空间)崩裂,万物失去承载。这时候,元始天尊出现并另所有生存过的人类复活。大家放心,他不是要如《圣经》所说进行末日审判,而是制造一个比米粒还小的空间把所有人吸进去。这个空间很神奇,能容纳下所有人却不显得狭窄。等所有人各有位置后,元始讲经。这经蕴涵了宇宙和生命的一切奥秘,传说人类的先知曾领悟其某些片段泄露了小小天机。宇宙在元始讲经时毁灭了,人在听完经后化作字符消失。元始又在虚空中等待着。元始讲经是宇宙意义的仁哦。

道教的神要拯救所有人,而基督教的神只拯救部分人(当然是信仰上帝的那些人),前者用“经”去感化灵魂,后者用“审判”去打击“罪人”,高下立判。《新约》的第一卷是《马太福音》,《新约》的主角耶稣登场了。他在这卷行了许多奇迹,似乎说明世人的智慧很难从自然事物中感悟到神,神也只能通过奇迹另人信服。“马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕”,处女怀孕现在确实可以做到,许多神话、传说从某种意义上算是一个科学幻想。

“我们在东方看见他的星,特来拜他”,伟人都有属于他的星辰,这种观点似乎也是人类共有的。

圣经故事读后感 篇4

在新约篇中,由于上帝的儿子耶稣使信徒与日俱增而遭到一部分犹太人的嫉妒,唯恐有一天耶稣会毁了他们,所以一些邪恶的人给耶稣定上许多莫须有的罪名,并最终把他处死;但是,由于耶稣相信真理使耶稣复活了,并击垮了那群邪恶的人。这就是邪不压正。虽然复活这种事情不可能在我们中间发生,但邪不压正倒是经常有的。比如说欺骗、抢劫、偷盗这些事情,在发生后都被一一绳之以法,所以要心中有“正”。

圣经让我看到了善良正义的人们,也揭露了一些充满忌妒的小人。我从中体会到了忠诚,也感受到了邪恶。

作为一名大学生,我知道宗教是以相信并崇拜超自然神灵为共同特征的一种社会意识形态和世界观。读完《圣经故事》给我的又一感受就是:死亡和矛盾无处不在。上帝爱人类,那为什么又一次次只因为违背他或者拜了别的神而摧毁人类? 在同一个“博爱”的上帝名义之下,善和恶都在进行着,并且是假以相同的借口。所以我感到这是很矛盾的故事。信仰是一种精神控制,所以我想我永远也不会相信上帝。

读完《圣经故事》我看到我们教师和学生都缺少的东西——爱。耶稣在常人眼里早已幻化为万能的上帝,在基督徒的眼里他又似乎无所不在,无所不能.但是,在此书中,我却看到了一个人性化的耶稣,一个充满善良,正直,纯朴,勇敢,智慧的拿撒勒的伟大木匠.现在的教育是缺少爱的教育。在当今社会和媒体个人主义和拜金主义的干扰下,学生更自私和没有同情心了。他们不爱父母,老师,更爱变形金刚和明星偶像,他(她)们失去了爱和被爱的能力。他们所预期的那么容易.显而易见,激怒他是不可能的,他从不对仇恨他的那些人表示反感,他从容地走出每一个陷阱,当他被逼到一个角落时,他就讲一个简单的小故事,使所听故事的人转到他这边来,这也是一种很好的年组管理和教育教学方法呢。他希望人们爱自己的友邻,他恳求人们停止战争.眼看着人们互相残杀,冤怨相报,耶稣痛心疾首.他本来是个快乐风趣的人,生活对于他来说是快乐的,而不是负担.他爱母亲,爱家庭,爱朋友.村子里的活动,他没有不参加的.他自己不是隐士,也不赞成别人靠逃避生活拯救自己的灵魂.可是这个世界却似乎到处都是荒凉,暴力和混乱.耶稣以他那纯朴而伟大的胸怀贡献出一剂医治这些创伤的良药.他把这剂良药称作爱.有这个字眼就是他所教导的核心内容.这就是我在这本书里涉取的最大的精华。

读完《圣经故事》,参照国际形式,我突然明白了为什么美国这样支持以色列国。大家知道美国经常因偏袒以色列而备受批评。在国际政治专家眼里,以色列是美国的代理人,是美国的工具,是美国中东战略的一枚棋子,美国单单是为了战略利益和石油而支持以色列?这样理解,自然不错。然而,美国对以色列的支持除了政治因素外,还有着深刻的宗教、文化、制度背景吧。美国是个信奉宗教的国度,不理解宗教的作用就无法理解美国。《圣经故事》里经常提到,上帝与以色列人站在一起,那么美国自然也要站在上帝的一方。宗教、制度、心理上的原因结合起来,导致了美国政治家、老百姓对以色列的支持,这自然是一股巨大的力量。在美国的500万犹太人也是一股不可忽视的力量。美国曾有一句流传已久的话说:“美国人的智慧掌握在华人脑袋里,美国人的钱袋掌握在犹太人腰包里。”前者未必正确,但后者绝对没错。

读完《圣经故事》才发现犹太人真聪明。他们不仅发明了控制人精神的上帝,而且当今的犹太人还非常会赚钱,如果说中华民族有着悠久的文明历史,是个伟大的民族,我们中国人都很自豪。那么,无论从整个历史还是现在的世界形式来看,不得不承认犹太民族的确也是一个伟大的民族,这个民族造就了历史上如:亚伯拉罕,摩西.大卫,所罗门和耶稣这样一些伟大的先知和君主;马克思可以说是对现代中国影响最大的犹太人;其次是作为科学楷模与象征的爱因斯坦;又在经历了百般困苦和不公的待遇之后成为当今控制世界经济的强族。《圣经》是世界文化宝库中一部最璀璨的杰作之一。

我知道宗教是以相信并崇拜超自然神灵为共同特征的一种社会意识形态和世界观。各种宗教都是相信有神论,唯心主义是其共同的思想基础。共产党员是工人阶级的先锋战士,是马克思主义者,是无神论者,决不能信仰宗教和参加宗教活动,所以,从一名积极向党组织靠拢同时又是教育工作者的角度来感悟这本《圣经的故事》主要有以下几个方面:

读完《圣经的故事》的第一感受就是,这是一本历史书,但是是神话了的。死亡和矛盾无处不在。上帝爱人类,那为什么又一次次只因为违背他或者拜了别的神而摧毁人类? 在同一个“博爱”的上帝名义之下,善和恶都在进行着,并且是假以相同的借口。所以我感到这是很矛盾的故事。信仰是一种精神控制,所以我想我永远也不会相信上帝。

圣经故事读后感 篇5

《圣经故事》里讲到了几个小故事给我印象特别深。

故事一:亚当和夏娃因为受了魔鬼的骗,背叛了上帝,而他们用心悔改,最终取得了上帝的原谅。这个小故事告诉我:无论你做了多大的错事,只要你怀着一颗真诚的心去悔改,一切都还来得及的。

故事二:以色列国王扫罗因为背叛了上帝,上帝决定立大卫做王,扫罗的心中充满了妒火,他对大卫很不友好,很想杀死大卫,而大卫却对他却象对待朋友一样,结果大卫的坦诚和友好感动了扫罗,扫罗主动把王位让给了大卫。这个故事教会了我无论别人怎么对我,我都要象朋友一样对待他。

故事三:犹大国国王亚哈斯不信奉上帝背叛了上帝,而他的儿子希西加继承王位做国王时,却不象他父亲,他信奉上帝,摧毁了偶像庙(假神庙),上帝让他的国家变得非常富有和强大。从这个故事我理解到:无论别人怎么做,你都要坚持按正确的想法去做,不要受别人的影响,哪怕这个人是你的父母。

小朋友们,你们如果读了《圣经故事》也会和我一样喜欢这本书的。

圣经故事读后感范文2

圣经中很多次序是不能更改或者颠倒的。文章排列从《创世纪》到末尾的《启示录》,讲的就是人类自我的觉醒,从自我到自我解放到超越自我的过程;讲的就是一个老亚当蜕变成一个有耶稣基督生命的新人的过程;是一个自我自私的灵魂蜕变成一个有爱有社会责任感乃至于有历史责任感的过程;它是一个人生的历程,也是一个信仰的历程。

在创世纪中上帝第六天造人同样是不可改变的。上帝先造天地万物,再造人。为什么不改过来,先造人先呢?那是因为上帝启示告诫我们:人类的生存活动离不开大自然,是阳光雨露,是大自然哺育着我们,大自然在前,我们在后,我们要遵循大自然的规律,不可以破坏大自然。

人类有了智慧和聪明,就会自以为是,取得一点成就就会忘乎所以。当人类在造巴别塔试图与上帝一争高低争夺荣耀的时候,上帝击打了人类的狂妄与骄傲。

“人要离开父母与妻子连合,二人成为一体。”离开,是一种情感和心灵的断奶,离开父母,表示我们已经独立,包括了思想和人格的独立。与妻子的连合不单只是肉体的,还包括了灵魂的结合,所以才有可能成为一体。这是一种优于动物的人伦的美。

圣经故事读后感范文3

《圣经》通常被描述为“最伟大的书”。这是因为它对历代人们的无尽的价值与影响,历史上没有一本书像《圣经》一样对人文有如此影响力。到目前为止,《圣经》已被译成20xx种语言,每一年的销售量比任何一本书的年销售量都要高得多。

我读完《圣经故事》的第一感受就是,这是一本历史书,里面的时间,地点,人物,事件纷繁复杂,只通读一遍是很难完全理清头绪的。但是它所分的《旧约》和《新约》这两个部分是非常清晰的:繁杂的《旧约》就是一部犹太家族史,讲述的是犹太人和“他们自己的”严厉的上帝耶和华;而《新约》则是几个犹太人把“他们自己的”上帝变为全人类的上帝,把一个严厉的上帝变为一个博爱的上帝耶稣的过程。死亡和矛盾无处不在。上帝爱人类,那为什么又一次次只因为违背他或者拜了别的神而摧毁人类?在同一个“博爱”的上帝名义之下,善和恶都在进行着,并且是假以相同的借口。所以我感到这是很矛盾的故事。信仰是一种精神控制,所以我想我永远也不会相信上帝。

读完《圣经故事》我看到教师和同学都缺少的东西—--爱。耶稣在常人眼里早已幻化为万能的上帝,在基督徒的眼里他又似乎无所不在,无所不能.但是,在此书中,我却看到了一个人性化的耶稣,一个充满善良,正直,纯朴,勇敢,智慧的拿撒勒的伟大木匠.现在的教育是缺少爱的教育,在当今社会和媒体个人主义和拜金主义的干扰下,有的同学更自私和没有同情心了。他们不爱父母,老师,更爱变形金刚和明星偶像。

圣经故事读后感范文4

前几天,我读了一本书,叫做圣经的故事,的确不错。

圣经的故事,它讲述了从起初,世界被水覆盖,沉寂在一片黑暗混沌之中,然后耶和华六日创世,又创造了人类,诺亚方舟,和犹太人从古到今的“旅程”。

但也有很多我觉得无法理解的东西,亚当夏娃偷食禁果犯下的原罪,原罪是什么?知羞耻有欲望吗?如果没有撒旦的诱惑,他们是会继续在伊甸园快乐生活吗?除了无忧无虑还有什么在他们的生活中?饿了要吃东西这不也是人最原始的欲望吗?欲望和欲望之间还有区别吗?为什么它就是罪?!

上帝不忍看见人们互相残杀的罪,于是决定重建人界,只有诺亚一家获救,人类互相残杀最差的结局也无非是全部的毁灭,上帝只是一句不忍就把几乎所有人置于洪水暴雨之中,这是何种的不忍?!人们造通天巴比伦塔,想去看看上帝耶和华的家园,上帝担心人们再犯罪,遂让人们语言不通因此不再团结不能再继续造塔,人想参观上帝的家就是罪,上帝偷窥人的隐私就是照顾?!

圣经,几乎把犹太人从古到今的故事都描绘出来了,当热,我从不相信有耶和华,也不相信六日创世。我从不迷信,但是,我觉得,我们也能从一些迷信的事物中找出一些真理。

圣经故事读后感范文5

《圣经的故事》这本书和中国、希腊神话一样,都是神话故事,而四大古国的神话我们已经了解了两本。其中,我们还有古埃及和古罗马还未了解,《圣经的故事》是古罗马的神话。

这本书分为两个大故事:旧约故事和新约故事,这两个故事中旧约故事就占了整本书的四分之三,在古罗马,人们把上帝认为是古罗马的神。在没有人的时候,上帝花费了六天的时间创造了日月、植物、动物(不包括人)。

第七天,上帝休息了,他说:“要把这一天定为圣日。”后来他们把星期定为七天,并将一周的最后一天定为星期天。这天人们放下工作,用这一天来休息。

后来上帝发现大地上还缺少一样东西,就是人,于是上帝找了一块泥土捏成了一个人,取名为亚当,又建了一个果园,名叫伊甸园。园内有好吃的果实和一些动物。亚当生活在这里,生活很优闲。几天后上帝发现亚当缺少了一个同伴,上帝麻醉了亚当,从他身上取出一根骨头,造了一个女孩,取名为夏娃。

在伊甸园中的一棵树上,种满了禁果,上帝嘱咐亚当,让他不要吃禁果。后来夏娃听了蛇的话后,他们吃了禁果。上帝知道了去掉蛇的翅膀,将亚当与夏娃赶出了这里。

听了这个故事,大家要守好纪律,违反了将会没有好的下场。

圣经故事读后感范文6

我拿到《圣经故事》这本书以后,以为这本书是讲一些经文,让我们信宗教。原来是讲神和他的子民发生的故事。

在这本书中,我最喜欢《年轻的大卫》这个故事了。这个故事讲了一个少年,名叫大卫。他很勇敢,他曾经把巨人歌利亚都打死了。而且他只用了五颗石子。扫罗很妒忌他,因为他没有大卫厉害,他便想把大卫杀死。幸亏扫罗的儿子——约拿单保护了大卫,大卫才没有被杀死。还有一个原因,神永远与大卫同在。

我读了这个故事,感想很深刻。我知道了,一个人必须遵守应该遵守的规矩,否则将会受到应有的惩罚。谁从困难中解救了我们,我们就应该相信他的实力,赞美他。不能忘恩负义,应该知恩图报。世界没有神,却全都是神。因为人人都是神,人人都有权力来主管自己。

这位神以仁慈、耐心、宽容、博大、善良的精神来对待每一个人。不管那个人是善良,还是邪恶,神都会宽容他。这使我想起一句话:“宰相肚里能撑船。”

神非常信守诺言。一旦神说的话,神都会信守。一诺千金。扫罗的嫉妒心会使他输给大卫,所以嫉妒心很可怕,我们应该没有嫉妒心。神是由光明和爱组成的。神仁爱慈善,心里不急躁,不厌烦,宽大有气量,不计较或追究,宽广,丰富,心地纯洁,没有恶意。

我们也要做像神这样的人。

圣经故事读后感范文7

圣经的故事中,有着多倒数不完的小篇故事,有着像在读历史故事一般,但是里面有很多的斗争,就如同中国的历史一般,可是在这之中,不难看出,有些斗争都是因为信奉,有些就现在看来不明智的举动,也是信奉的缘故,为什么会这么说,就像亚伯拉罕差点因为耶和华的考验,进而杀害了自己的孩子,虽以信奉耶和华的角度看来,他是个对耶和华所说的话虔诚不已的人,依照着他的指示行事,认为耶和华讲的话是对的,我认为站在他信奉这个基准点上是没错的,因为一个信奉者本来就该对自己的神虔诚,若对自己的认定的神不虔诚,那可能是一种的背叛,但是从亲情、人道的角度看来这样未免太愚蠢了,怎会因为这样一个你认为的神,杀死自己的小孩,小孩并没犯什么错,这样的做法只是让小孩成为无辜的牺牲者,我觉得不管从那个角度看来都有他的好与坏,所以我觉得不要过度的盲从去做一件事,应该要去选择一个比较折衷的看法,也要去听一些自己内心最深层的心,不要过度的去信奉而造成不好的盲从。然而也因为信奉这样的问题,引发了许许多多的争端,当然斗争是难免了。而大家耳熟能闻的摩西的故事,也是在斗争中,所遗留下的故事,当然摩西的一声令下,就使得红海自己分开,带领着大家顺利的度过红海,在现今的我们听起来,简直是天方夜谭,但是这不也为此篇故事,增添了几分神秘的色彩。而摩西最后的死亡,在圣经中也带着神秘之感,会藉由摩西的例子,最主要就是要说明,在圣经故事中,很多的篇幅,不难看出充斥着神秘的色彩,所以,在这之中,也可以了解到人们的信仰虔诚度,以及上帝在他们生活中,所扮演着举足轻重的角色,影响着他们的决策,更影响着他们的生活,可说是息息相关的,为什么会这么说呢!因为上帝可以决定他们的生活模式,假设今天上帝的理念跟他们有所冲突的话,当然是以上帝的要求为优先,并不会以自己的思考模式来判断,就算命令下达是错的,但是也会无条件的去服从,所以这样的话,可以说是在过『上帝的生活』,这样的话根本是由别人在支配你的生活,好像魁儡一般,说起来也真的蛮可悲的,这都要怪太过于忠于上帝。还有你知道,世界上第一个家庭悲剧,是发生于何处吗?

就是亚当跟夏娃所生的子女,该隐跟埃布尔间的兄弟相残,而起因则是,人们之间的忌妒所引起的,而主要的忌妒之心,却是跟耶和华有关,因为耶和华的观点上,较为赞许埃布尔的关系,所以引起的杀机,但是这边所要述说的不是兄弟之间的相残,而是耶和华在他们生活中所扮演的角色,可说影响的他们的日常生活,连这种小事都可以进而使得他们引起了杀机,那么如果假设今天有着更为重大的事件的话,是不是连迫害全人类的事情都可以做的出来,这样毫无自己的见解跟观点,只是活在别人的赞许认同之下的人,可说是十分的愚蠢跟可悲的。
