令人信服的群体
The Compelling Community
狄马可 / Mark Dever
简介 Summary
狄马可关于教会群体生活吸引力的深入思考。作者论证说健康的基督教群体本身就是最有力的福音见证，能够在世俗社会中发出独特的光芒。全书分析了什么样的教会群体能够真正"令人信服"——不是靠世俗的成功标准，而是靠属灵的真实性、爱的关系、和福音的大能。狄马可特别强调教会的反主流文化特征反而是其吸引力的源泉，因为它展现了神国与世界的根本不同。这部作品为教会如何在后基督教文化中保持见证力提供了重要指导。
Dever's profound reflection on the attractiveness of church community life. The author argues that healthy Christian community itself is the most powerful gospel witness, capable of shining unique light in secular society. The book analyzes what kind of church community can truly be "compelling"—not through worldly success standards but through spiritual authenticity, loving relationships, and gospel power. Dever particularly emphasizes that church's countercultural characteristics are actually the source of its attractiveness, demonstrating fundamental differences between God's kingdom and the world. This work provides important guidance for how churches maintain witness power in post-Christian culture.
