【摘要】： 本文着眼于美国殖民地早期，《圣经》对美国政治文化形成产生的深刻影响和形成过程所发挥的重要作用。可以说，《圣经》为美国的建国者们提供的一幅蓝图，这种植根于基督教思想并且在不断发展的政治文化深深影响着美国的政治行为。基督教思想在美国政治文化形成的过程中起着极其重要的作用。在一个以基督教(尤其是新教)思想立国的移民国家，美国人对其移民先祖信奉的宗教以及其圣典《圣经》怀有一种特殊的敬畏之情。殖民地时期，整个社会处于一个《圣经》崇拜的语境之中，这也为对美国文化各方面产生深刻的影响提供了先决条件。早期的建国者们也不可避免的将基督教中的某些思想应用到政治领域中，从而影响到美国的政治文化，，这也是美国政治文化一个显著特点。因此，《圣经》不仅成为了美国精神信仰的支柱，更是政治文化的根基。宗教对政治文化的影响主要集中表现于两方面：一是宗教思想对政治文化的影响；另一方面是一些宗教组织直接或间接参与政治活动从而影响政治。本文侧重于前者，即分析基督教思想是如何渗透于美国的政治文化，及在美国政治文化形成期间所发挥的重要作用。本文结合当时的社会背景或典型事件来阐述来源于《圣经》中的两个理念对早期美国政治思想文化和政治制度文化两方面形成过程中所起的作用。那么这些源于《圣经》的理念是如何发展，演化成为能够影响到美国政治文化形成的重要思想的呢?本文将重点分析两个概念：“山巅之城”和“契约”思想。“山巅之城”这个概念对美国外交指导思想的起源、形成以及外交决策的制定有着巨大影响。“契约”思想是美国联邦制度建立的源泉，为美国一这个新生的国家提供了一个行之有效的政治制度。
[Abstract]:This paper focuses on the profound influence of the Bible on the formation of American political culture and the important role it plays in the formation of American political culture in the early colonial period of the United States. It can be said that the Bible provides a blueprint for the founding fathers of the United States. This growing political culture, rooted in Christian thought, deeply influenced American political behavior. Christian thought played an extremely important role in the formation of American political culture. In an immigrant country founded by Christian (especially Protestant) thought, Americans have a special reverence for the religion of their immigrant ancestors and the Bible. During the colonial period, the whole society was in a context of biblical worship. This also provided a prerequisite for a profound impact on all aspects of American culture. The early founding fathers also inevitably applied certain ideas in Christianity to the political sphere, thus affecting the political culture of the United States. Therefore, the Bible is not only the pillar of American spiritual belief, but also the foundation of political culture. The influence of religion on political culture is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the influence of religious thought on political culture; on the other hand, some religious organizations directly or indirectly participate in political activities to influence politics. That is to say, it analyzes how Christian thought permeated American political culture and played an important role in the formation of American political culture. Based on the social background or typical events of the time, this paper expounds the role of the two ideas derived from the Bible in the formation of the political, ideological and cultural aspects of the early American political, ideological and political systems. How the idea of the Bible evolved, What has evolved into an important idea that can influence the formation of American political culture? This paper will focus on the analysis of two concepts: the city at the top of the mountain and the idea of the contract, and the origin of the concept of the city on the top of the mountain for the guiding ideology of American diplomacy. The idea of "contract" is the source of the establishment of the United States federal system, which provides an effective political system for this new country.
