本文的主題是特里•伊格爾頓的神學轉向，但潛在的主題是當代西方思想界，特別是左翼思想家們，紛紛轉向基督教傳統和神學資源，以應對所謂「後現代」的社會現實和理論問題這一傾向或潮流。為此，本文追溯了伊格爾頓的思想發展過程，集中分析了其探討的幾個主要概念，試圖從中找到其「神學轉向」的理論依據和來源，這一轉向的主要内容和意義，以及這一轉向與西方馬克思主義或左翼神學思想之間的關聯。

The overt subject of this paper is Terry Eagleton,s theological turn, but its implicit subject is the trend of turning to the Christian tradition and theological sources in contemporary Western academia, particularly left-wing thinkers, in order to come to terms with the social reality and theoretical issues in the so-called postmodern period. To this end, this paper intends to find certain particular implications of Eagleton，s theological turn by tracing the development of his thought and analyzing key concepts in his theorizing. Included amongst them are the theoretical sources and grounding, the main content and significance, and their) relation to Western Marxism or left-wing theological thought of this theological turn.
