| Summary: | 碩士 === 長榮大學 === 神學系碩士班 === 106 === This thesis is focused on The Theological Meaning Implied in the Transcendent Pursuit of Lee Chiao's fiction─A Case Study of No Hatred in Love: The New Tale of White Snake and The World of Love: Back to the Future. I propose to analyze the dialectical process of theological views in these two fictions.
No Hatred in Love: The New Tale of White Snake shows the finitude of humanity and tries to find out transcendence. However, The World of Love: Back to the Future emphasizes the humanity has the potential of transcendence. In other words, Lee Chiao believes human have the potential to transcend the suffering of human life. The problems of suffering that Lee Chiao intended to solve along his life.
First of all, this study tries to delimit the theological meaning implied in these two fictions. Both of them are mythological allegory in their genus, and have theological implications, no matter in form or in contend. We could find how Lee Chiao, a famous Taiwanese Christian novelist, tried to understand Christian thought and reinterpreted it in his two fictions.
Secondly, from the point of view of theology, we will observe the change of the meaning of the suffering in his two fictions.
Thirdly, this thesis will examine the change of the main characters in these two fictions concerning the power of transcendence.
Lastly but not the least one, this thesis will disclose the influence and change of the Transcendental One to human beings. Particularly, it will focus on the relationship between the Transcendental One and the way of redemption.
