范泰尔的护教学
Van Til's Apologetic
格雷格·巴恩森 / Greg Bahnsen
简介 Summary
这是对改革宗护教学之父范泰尔思想的权威解读和系统阐述。巴恩森深入分析了范泰尔护教学的神学基础、哲学预设和方法论特色，澄清了学界对范泰尔思想的诸多误解。作者强调范泰尔护教学的核心：三位一体的上帝是一切知识和存在的最终根基，非基督教思想必然导致怀疑论和非理性。本书不仅是理解范泰尔护教学不可或缺的指南，也是前设护教学传统的经典文献。
This represents the authoritative interpretation and systematic exposition of Cornelius Van Til, the father of Reformed apologetics. Bahnsen provides in-depth analysis of Van Til's theological foundation, philosophical presuppositions, and methodological distinctives, clarifying many scholarly misunderstandings of Van Til's thought. The author emphasizes Van Til's core insight: the Triune God is the ultimate foundation of all knowledge and existence, while non-Christian thought necessarily leads to skepticism and irrationality. This work serves as both an indispensable guide to understanding Van Til's apologetics and a classic document in the presuppositional tradition.
📑 章节 Chapters
Ch.1: 格雷格·巴恩森's Apologetic Methodology
格雷格·巴恩森在本书开篇阐述其护教学的基本方法。作者强调护教学不仅是为信仰提供理性论证，更是帮助人们认识上帝真理的途径。通过分析当代思想环境和文化挑战，作者为基督教信仰的理性基础奠定了坚实的基础。
格雷格·巴恩森 outlines his basic apologetic methodology at the beginning. The author emphasizes apologetics is not merely providing rational arguments for faith, but a pathway to help people recognize God's truth. Through analyzing contemporary intellectual environment and cultural challenges, the author establishes solid foundations for Christianity's rational basis.
“真正的护教学必须以圣经真理为根基，而不是纯粹的人类理性。”
“基督教的合理性不在于迎合世界的标准，而在于展示上帝的智慧。”
Ch.2: The Relationship Between Faith and Reason
深入探讨信仰与理性的关系问题。作者论证信仰并不与理性对立，而是建立在合理基础之上的信靠。通过分析启蒙运动以来理性主义的局限性，作者展示基督教如何提供更加完整的世界观框架。
In-depth exploration of the relationship between faith and reason. The author argues faith doesn't oppose reason but is trust based on reasonable foundations. Through analyzing rationalism's limitations since the Enlightenment, the author shows how Christianity provides a more complete worldview framework.
“理性本身需要信仰的预设才能发挥作用。”
“基督教的信仰是理性的信仰，但超越理性的局限。”
Ch.3: Responding to Modern Skepticism Challenges
分析现代怀疑主义对基督教信仰的挑战，并提供有效的回应策略。作者考察了相对主义、科学主义、道德虚无主义等当代思潮，展示如何在保持福音核心的同时，与现代人进行有意义的对话。
Analyzing modern skepticism's challenges to Christian faith and providing effective response strategies. The author examines contemporary trends like relativism, scientism, moral nihilism, showing how to engage in meaningful dialogue with modern people while maintaining the gospel's core.
“怀疑主义声称怀疑一切，但它不能怀疑怀疑本身。”
“真理的存在是所有有意义对话的前提。”
Ch.4: Harmony Between Science and Faith
探讨科学与基督教信仰的兼容性。作者展示现代科学的兴起实际上得益于基督教的世界观，并分析了科学方法的哲学预设。通过考察具体的科学发现，作者论证科学证据指向智慧设计者的存在。
Exploring compatibility between science and Christian faith. The author shows modern science's rise actually benefited from Christian worldview and analyzes scientific method's philosophical presuppositions. Through examining specific scientific discoveries, the author argues scientific evidence points to an intelligent designer's existence.
“科学告诉我们事物如何运作，信仰告诉我们为什么存在。”
“宇宙的可理解性暗示着理性创造者的存在。”
Ch.5: Moral Arguments and Life's Meaning
从道德和意义的角度为基督教信仰提供论证。作者分析人类普遍的道德直觉和对意义的追求，论证这些现象在无神论框架下无法得到充分解释。只有在有位格的上帝存在的前提下，道德责任和人生意义才可能真实存在。
Providing arguments for Christian faith from moral and meaning perspectives. The author analyzes universal human moral intuition and pursuit of meaning, arguing these phenomena cannot be adequately explained within atheistic frameworks. Only with a personal God's existence can moral responsibility and life's meaning truly exist.
“如果上帝不存在，道德就只是个人偏好或社会约定。”
“人类对永恒的渴望暗示着超越时间的实在。”
