Abstract
Jesus, the son of Mary or Jesus of Nazareth, nicknamed the Messiah in traditional Persian culture and literature, is a prophet of peace, tolerance and submission and a symbol of the soul, spiritual knowledge, revival, healing and life-giving, but this ritual character and people and elements related to him in Contemporary committed poetry has undergone a transformation in the field of thought and discourse, social action . The aim of this research is to show the dimensions of Christ's character and the conceptual transformation of elements of Christianity in contemporary committed poetry. This article is presented in a descriptive-analytical way, and in it, we have paid attention to Fairclough's theories in the three areas of discourse analysis. The results of this research indicate that Christ has become a hard-working fighter, a harbinger of freedom and liberation, a vivifier of struggles, a helper of the oppressed, a revivalist of revolutionary and ideological ideas, and a harbinger of dissidents. In the works of these poets, Christ is a symbol of the poet's struggling "self" who strives for humanitarian, political, social and revolutionary ideals, and is bound to die in this way. Also, in his works, other dependent characters such as Mary, Judah, and Eleazar, and elements of fear such as the cross, the Garden of Gethsemane, Golgotha, have also been taken into account and used to express ideological goals and in general comparison with the role of the traditional position has undergone transformation.
