传福音与神的主权
Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God
巴刻 / J.I. Packer
简介 Summary
巴刻在这部经典小册中巧妙地解决了改革宗神学中的一个古老难题:如果上帝拣选了他的子民,为什么还要传福音?他从圣经神学的角度论证,上帝的主权不仅不排斥人类的传福音责任,反而是传福音热忱的根基。作者强调传福音是上帝命令的途径,也是上帝赐福的管道,基督徒应当忠心传讲而将结果交托给主权的上帝。这本书为许多改革宗信徒解除了教义上的困惑。
In this classic booklet, Packer skillfully addresses an ancient dilemma in Reformed theology: if God has chosen his people, why evangelize? He argues from a biblical-theological perspective that God's sovereignty, far from negating human evangelistic responsibility, actually provides the foundation for evangelistic zeal. The author emphasizes that evangelism is both God's commanded means and blessed channel, and Christians should faithfully proclaim while entrusting results to the sovereign God. This work has resolved doctrinal confusion for many Reformed believers.
