治死罪
The Mortification of Sin
约翰·欧文 / John Owen
简介 Summary
欧文关于基督徒灵性争战的实践神学经典。基于罗马书8章13节"你们若靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行，必要活着"，作者详细阐述了信徒如何在日常生活中与罪恶争战。全书结合深度神学洞察与具体实践指导，分析了罪的本质、圣灵的能力、以及信徒在成圣过程中的主动责任。欧文特别强调"治死罪"不是靠律法主义的外在努力，而是依靠圣灵的内在更新。这部著作为后世敬虔传统奠定了重要的理论基础。
Owen's practical theological classic on Christian spiritual warfare. Based on Romans 8:13 "if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live," the author thoroughly expounds how believers wage war against sin in daily life. Combining profound theological insight with concrete practical guidance, the book analyzes sin's nature, the Spirit's power, and believers' active responsibility in sanctification. Owen particularly emphasizes that "mortifying sin" relies not on legalistic external effort but on the Spirit's internal renewal. This work laid crucial theoretical foundation for subsequent piety traditions.
