A Study of Biblical View of Marriage_英语论文

摘要

婚姻观在一定程度上也是伦理，即是社会个体在世对婚姻的态度。在基督教徒的世界里，他们的婚姻观深受《圣经》的影响，认为婚姻是天赐的礼物，圣神不可侵犯，夫妻本为一体，婚姻不是为了繁衍而是夫妻关系，从圣经的故事里我们可以感受到基督教义对婚姻的规定，可以体会到这些观念在历史的过程中对西方社会的进步产生了巨大影响；同时，在如今社会大发展的背景下，这些观念对处理婚姻问题有很大的影响。

一直以来，《圣经》作为基督世界的经典，婚姻与人类生活密不可分，是许多西方学者研究的主题，当代中国基督教徒人数不断增多，因此，国内学者对基督教的婚姻伦理探索与研究也不断增多。研究圣经下的婚姻观，一方面是对文学历史作品的深入了解，另一方面能够带来深思，在如今大发展大转变的社会环境下，人与人的关系变得更加复杂，探索圣经下的婚姻观有利于给人们提供一些新的思考和解决相应问题的新思路。

Abstract

To some extent, marriage is a kind of ethic, which is the human’s attitude toward marriage. In the Christendom, all the Christians are affected by the  Bible, and they believe that marriage is the gift of God, which is holy and inviolable. In marriage life, husband and wife are a inalienable group, the meaning of marriage being not to breed but for maintain a good relationship between husband and wife. From the biblical stories, we could know about Christians’ marriage views and experience the deep influence these ideas had in western society.

In recent years, there are more and more Christians in China, as a result of it, more scholars focus on exploring and researching the marriage ethics. These research will not only help human beings gain a better understanding of historical literature, but also produce real soul-searching which provides people new ideas for deal with these marriage problems in the modern society.
