厄普代克的作品《兔子,跑吧》展现了现代美国人在物质生活中陷入了丧失宗教信仰的困境,暗示了作者的宗教看法:在现代社会中,要完全保持对传统宗教的信仰几乎是无法实现的,比较恰当的方法是把世俗生活与宗教信仰结合起来,走一条世俗化宗教的道路。 Updike’s work “The Rabbit, Running” shows that the modern Americans have fallen into the predicament of losing their religious beliefs in their material life, implying the author’s religious view that in modern society, the faith in the traditional religions should be completely maintained. An unachievable and appropriate method is to combine secular life with religious belief and take the path of secularized religion.
