“The True Doctrine of Justification: Asserted and Vindicated from the Errors of Papists, Arminians, Socinians, and More Especially Antinomians” by Anthony Burgess stands as a robust defense and detailed exposition of the classical Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone.
《称义的真正教义:对天主教徒、亚米念派、索西尼派,尤其是反律法主义者的错误进行断言和辩护》,作者安东尼·伯吉斯,是对古典新教因信称义教义的有力辩护和详细阐述。
Written during a time of significant theological conflict, Burgess’s work aims to clarify and defend the doctrine that was crucial to the Protestant Reformation and remains central to Reformed theology.
伯吉斯的著作写于神学冲突激烈的时期,旨在澄清和捍卫对新教改革至关重要且仍是改革宗神学核心的教义。
In his comprehensive treatise, Burgess meticulously dissects the multiple errors that had infiltrated the church’s understanding of justification, such as the Roman Catholic reliance on sacraments and works, the Arminian emphasis on human cooperation with divine grace, and the Antinomian rejection of the law’s role in the life of a believer.
在这篇全面的论文中,伯吉斯细致地剖析了渗透到教会对称义理解中的多重错误,如天主教对圣礼和行为的依赖,亚米念派对人与神恩合作的强调,以及反律法主义者对律法在信徒生活中作用的否定。
Each of these, Burgess argues, detracts from the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the assurance it is meant to provide believers.
伯吉斯认为,这些每一种观点都削弱了基督赎罪牺牲的充足性及其本应给信徒带来的确据。
Burgess uses Scripture extensively to argue that justification involves both the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to the believer and the full remission of sins—themes he elaborates through careful biblical exegesis and theological reasoning.
伯吉斯广泛使用圣经来论证称义包括基督的义归算给信徒以及罪得完全赦免——他通过仔细的圣经释经和神学推理来阐述这些主题。
His goal is to present a balanced view that maintains the necessity of faith and repentance without falling into the trap of legalism or license.
他的目标是呈现一个平衡的观点,既保持信心和悔改的必要性,又不陷入律法主义或放纵的陷阱。
This book is particularly notable for its depth and the rigor of its argumentation.
这本书因其深度和论证的严谨性而特别引人注目。
Burgess not only addresses theological errors but also pastoral concerns, providing a guide that helps believers understand and appreciate the profound relief and joy that come from being justified by faith.
伯吉斯不仅解决了神学错误,还关注牧养问题,提供了一份指南,帮助信徒理解和欣赏因信称义所带来的深刻安慰和喜乐。
His work is a valuable resource for theologians, pastors, and any serious student of theology seeking to understand the historical and biblical foundations of this pivotal Christian doctrine.
他的著作是神学家、牧师和任何认真研究神学的学生理解这一关键基督教教义的历史和圣经基础的宝贵资源。
It is especially relevant for those interested in the interplay between Reformation theology and contemporary challenges to orthodox Christian beliefs.
对于那些对改革宗神学与当代正统基督教信仰挑战之间的相互作用感兴趣的人来说,这本书尤其相关。
