INTRODUCTION

With the development of the society, the culture of China and the world of ideas are more and more closely connected. Western religious novels play a great role for Chinese people to understand western religious thought, their concept of love, and social life. Promoting the exchange of ideas between cultures is a common goal of experts and scholars in the field of religious fiction. The novel is the ideological literary genre, in which the author, through portraying characters, depicts different plots to reflect social life. Excellent novels not only show the readers rich artistic images, pictures of life and social knowledge, but show more quintessence of human being’s knowledge, imperceptibly influencing the readers’ thought and culture.
