施瑋小說主題與基督宗教意涵之指涉

Topics of Fictions of Wei Shih and Reference of Meanings of Christianity

北美女作家施瑋自1999年接受基督信仰後，風格明顯轉變，她將個人生命的領受與對宗教的思考，轉化寄託為文學的主題內涵並提出靈性文學的主張，呈現作家內在的精神向度，以及其宗教生命觀。本論文藉由探討施瑋的長篇小說《世家美眷》、《放逐伊甸》、《紅牆白玉蘭》，和獨立單篇小說《日食．風動》，剖析作品所反映出的共同主題以及與基督宗教核心價值之指涉聯繫，呈現其靈性文學的特色。

After Wei Shih, a female writer of North America, was converted to Christianity in 1999, her lifestyle changed significantly. She transformed her pursuit of the study of individual life and reflection on religion to topics of literature and proposed the idea of spiritual literature to present the writer’s inner spirituality and perspective of religion. This study explores the novels of Wei Shih, Aristocratic Family and Their Female Members, Exile from Eden, and White Champak Behind the Red Wall, as well as an independent single story,“Solar Eclipse‧Blowing Wind,＂by analyzing the common motifs of the works and the inherent references to core values of Christianity to fulfill the characteristics of spiritual literature.
