成圣
Sanctification
约翰·欧文 / John Owen
简介 Summary
清教徒神学巨匠约翰·欧文（John Owen）关于成圣教义的权威性著作。作者以深厚的圣经解经和精确的神学论证，阐释了信徒在救恩中渐进成圣的过程。全书深入分析了成圣与称义的关系、圣灵在成圣中的工作、以及信徒在与罪争战中的责任。欧文特别强调成圣既是神的工作，也需要信徒的努力配合，展现了改革宗"恩典独作与人的责任"并存的深刻神学智慧。这部17世纪的神学经典至今仍是研究成圣教义的最重要文献之一。
Puritan theological giant John Owen's authoritative work on the doctrine of sanctification. Through profound biblical exegesis and precise theological argumentation, the author explicates the progressive sanctification process in salvation. The book deeply analyzes the relationship between sanctification and justification, the Holy Spirit's work in sanctification, and believers' responsibility in warfare against sin. Owen particularly emphasizes that sanctification is both God's work and requires believers' active cooperation, demonstrating profound theological wisdom of Reformed "grace alone with human responsibility." This 17th-century theological classic remains one of the most important documents for studying sanctification doctrine.
