Abstract
Abstract In Till We Have Faces (TWHF), C. S. Lewis combines his passion for pagan mythology with his knack for communicating Christian truths via story, powerfully illustrating a number of theological and moral positions that are prominent in many of his other writings. This article examines two major themes in TWHF that are also emphasized heavily within Lewis’s prose: (1) maintaining faith (which is examined from various angles) in the face of various emotionally-driven temptations to doubt; and (2) recognizing that pride prevents us from knowing God and corrupts the love we have for others into a jealous hatred. The article uncovers a variety of ways that Lewis masterfully paints a picture via the characters and the story of TWHF that exemplifies religious and ethical insights within these two themes.
在《直到我们有脸》(Till We Have Faces, TWHF)中，c·s·刘易斯将他对异教神话的热情与他通过故事传达基督教真理的技巧结合起来，有力地阐明了他许多其他作品中突出的一些神学和道德立场。本文考察了刘易斯散文中也着重强调的两大主题:(1)在面对各种情感驱动的怀疑诱惑时保持信仰(从不同的角度进行了考察);(2)认识到骄傲阻止我们认识上帝，并把我们对别人的爱腐蚀成嫉妒的仇恨。这篇文章揭示了刘易斯通过人物和TWHF的故事巧妙地描绘了一幅画的各种方式，这些方式体现了这两个主题中的宗教和伦理见解。
