德國德語文學研究專家沃爾夫岡·布勞恩加特教授的最新力作探討文學與宗教從1765年至今的關聯與流變,旨在為研究文學中的宗教美學開辟新路。全書主體的三部分分別題為"人類學轉向:為人的藝術——同樣為人的宗教""藝術—宗教與宗教—藝術""審美的合群性"。本文依次做一梳理評析,并指出這部德語文學專著的獨創性及其為跨學科研究模式帶來的啟發。

The latest work of Prof. Wolfgang Braungart, University Bielefeld, Germany, probes into the relation between literature and religion and its evolvement from 1765 to this day. This book attempts to inaugurate a new path for the study of religious aesthetics in literature. The three major parts of the book are "Anthropological Turn. Art for Human and Religion for Human," "Art – Religion and Religion – Art" and "Aesthetic Sociability." This paper first outlines and comments on these three parts, and then points out the features, merits and shortcomings of this monograph on German literature. It also draws attention to the inspirations its research mode has brought to us.
