摘要
城市是圣经的一大主题，圣经中的城市观极大地影响了西方文学对城市的想象。圣经中的城市形态表现为罪恶之城与圣城的对立两极。罪恶之城集中体现了人类淫乱放纵、拜偶像、排斥异己、迫害外来者的罪恶；而圣城则体现了审判世俗城市的价值准则；作为一种乌托邦幻像，圣城被表现为一种非物质的精神世界，一种远离现实城市的精神和宗教象征。
City is a significant theme in the Bible. The visions of the City in the Bible influence the Western Literature＇s imagination of the city. There are two opposite forms of the city： the secular city and the God＇s city. The evil secular city is an embodiment and a celebration of licentiousness, idolatry, exclusion, and oppression whereas the God＇s city, an embodiment of value standards and a Utopian phantasm, is a purely spiritual world and a symbol of religion and spirit far away from the real city.
