An Analysis of Female Images in the Bible

摘要

《圣经》塑造了一系列丰富多彩的女性人物形象，对她们的研究也是完整地认识、理解、欣赏博大精深的圣经文学的一个不可或缺的途径。《圣经》是一部宗教意识形态浓厚的文本，因而本文对女性的分类依据是看女性人物与以色列神的关系，上帝在她们生活中的地位来划分，因而区分为正面女性形象、反面女性形象以及复杂女性形象。本文也进一步点明这些女性人物形象的存在意义和价值，也可以从中挖掘出《圣经》潜在的女性观：男女是平等的，同受重视；但强调男女有别，有角色不同，分工、要求也不同。最后也指出圣经的女性观对现实生活的指导意义。

Abstract

As we know, the Bible has shaped a series of colorful female images. The analysis of them is also an indispensable way to understand and appreciate the profound biblical literature. And it is also known that the Holy Bible is a version which is filled with religious ideology, therefore, when we classify the female images in the Bible, we should think the relationship between themselves and the God. According to this way of sorting, I classify the female images into three categories: positive images of women, negative images of women and complex images of women. What’ more, I will point out the significances and the values of these female images. I will also analyze the biblical view of women, by emphasizing the equality of men and women, and expressing the fact that women are important. Finally, in my paper, I will explore the significance of their existence.
