God’s Sovereignty and Dominion over the Hearts of Men by Anthony Burgess is a compelling collection of 14 sermons that deeply explores the transformative power of God’s grace.
安东尼·伯吉斯所著的《上帝对人心的主权和统治》是一部引人入胜的14篇讲道集，深入探讨了上帝恩典的转化力量。
Drawing from Ezekiel’s profound imagery of the heart of stone being turned into a heart of flesh, Burgess eloquently expounds on the themes of divine sovereignty, the radical nature of true conversion, and the irresistible grace that changes the very core of human beings.
伯吉斯借鉴了以西结书中石心变为肉心的深刻意象，雄辩地阐述了神圣主权、真正归信的根本性质以及改变人类核心的不可抗拒的恩典等主题。
Burgess, a seasoned pastor and theologian, methodically explores the multifaceted dimensions of God’s work in the heart.
作为一位经验丰富的牧师和神学家，伯吉斯系统地探讨了上帝在人心中工作的多个层面。
Each sermon unpacks a different aspect of this transformation, beginning with the stark reality of the natural human condition—spiritually dead, hardened, and resistant to God.
每篇讲道都阐释了这种转变的不同方面，从人类自然状态的赤裸现实开始——在灵性上死亡、刚硬，并抵抗上帝。
Through vivid biblical exposition, Burgess describes the stony heart, laden with sin and enmity against God, and contrasts it with the tender, responsive heart of flesh granted by divine intervention.
通过生动的圣经阐释，伯吉斯描述了充满罪恶和敌对上帝的石心，并将其与神圣干预所赐予的温柔、有回应的肉心进行对比。
Central to the series is the emphasis on God’s absolute sovereignty in the process of conversion.
这个系列的核心是强调上帝在归信过程中的绝对主权。
Burgess argues persuasively against Pelagian and Arminian views, underscoring the omnipotent and irresistible nature of God’s grace.
伯吉斯有力地反驳了伯拉纠主义和阿民念主义的观点，强调了上帝恩典的全能和不可抗拒的本质。
He illustrates how God not only removes the heart of stone but also implants a new, living heart that is eager to follow His statutes and commandments.
他阐述了上帝不仅除去石心，还植入一颗渴望遵从祂的律例和诫命的新的、活的心。
This transformation is not merely a superficial change but a profound, inward renewal that affects the entirety of a person’s being.
这种转变不仅仅是表面的改变，而是影响一个人整个存在的深刻的、内在的更新。
Here’s the sentence-by-sentence translation, with English followed by Chinese:
Readers will find encouragement in the practical applications Burgess draws from his theological insights.
读者将在伯吉斯从其神学见解中得出的实际应用中找到鼓舞。
He addresses the importance of striving for this heart of flesh, recognizing counterfeit conversions, and discerning the genuine work of the Spirit in one’s life.
他论述了追求这种肉心的重要性、识别虚假归信，以及辨别圣灵在个人生命中真实工作的重要性。
Each sermon is rich with scriptural references, pastoral wisdom, and a call to deep, personal reflection.
每篇讲道都富含圣经引用、牧养智慧，以及对深入个人反思的呼吁。
Burgess also deals with the broader implications of a renewed heart, including the ethical and communal aspects of Christian living.
伯吉斯还探讨了更新心灵的广泛影响，包括基督徒生活的伦理和群体方面。
He expounds on how a heart of flesh manifests in righteous living, sincere worship, and equitable relationships with others.
他阐述了肉心如何体现在公义的生活、真诚的敬拜和与他人的公平关系中。
His sermons challenge believers to examine the authenticity of their faith and the fruit it bears in their daily lives.
他的讲道挑战信徒检视自己信仰的真实性，以及它在日常生活中结出的果实。
God’s Sovereignty and Dominion over the Hearts of Men is a treasure trove for anyone seeking to understand the depths of God’s transformative work.
《上帝对人心的主权和统治》对于任何寻求理解上帝转化工作深度的人来说都是一座宝库。
It is both a theological treatise and a devotional guide, designed to stir the hearts of readers towards a deeper love and obedience to God.

Burgess’s profound insights and passionate exhortations make this a timeless resource for personal edification and spiritual growth.
