As a member of Judaism family which assimilated by the Christianity, Benjamin's thoughts was composed of Messiah, Redemption, historical materialism, etc. Benjamin was an atheist, but no body can deny Benjamin's theological thoughts, the historical angel of Benjamin wasn't flying to the future in the wind of progress but gathering the seeds of Messiah under the ruins of the past. Theological thoughts was a firm track in Benjamin's whole life,only in the art and works can we find the shadow of them.Benjamin's historical philosophy and language philosophy was original because of the theology. Historical philosophy was the guidepost of Benjamin's theological thoughts, these thoughts exercised influence on his unique criticism and theory. The degeneration of language began on the appearance of human language; it's the sign of world's degeneration. We can find the fragments of truth and God's origin language in modern arts. Benjamin's job was damaged the arts, then listened to the origin language and the key to redemption.
