In A Modest Survey of the Secrets of Antinomianism, Samuel Rutherford—Scottish pastor, theologian, and Westminster Assembly divine—offers a bold, thorough, and pastorally rich rebuttal to one of the most spiritually dangerous errors of his day: Antinomianism.
在《对反律法主义秘密的谦恭考察》一书中，撒母耳·卢瑟福——苏格兰牧师、神学家、威斯敏斯特会议的神学家——对那个时代最危险的属灵谬误之一：反律法主义，提出了一个大胆、彻底且充满教牧关怀的丰富驳斥。
Originally written as Part II of his larger polemic A Survey of the Spiritual Antichrist, this standalone volume captures the most practical and theological heart of Rutherford’s case, making it especially compelling and accessible for today’s readers.
该书最初是他更宏大的辩论著作《属灵敌基督考察》的第二部分，这个独立成卷的版本抓住了卢瑟福论证中最具实践性和神学性的核心，使其对今天的读者尤其具有吸引力和易读性。
Antinomianism—literally “against the law”—claimed that believers, having been justified by grace through faith, are no longer under obligation to obey God’s moral law.
反律法主义——字面意思是“反对律法”——声称信徒既因信蒙恩称义，就不再有义务遵守上帝的道德律法。
For Antinomians, calls to repentance, fear of sin, mourning for transgressions, or pursuit of holiness smacked of legalism or a return to bondage.
对于反律法主义者来说，呼召人悔改、畏惧罪、为过犯罪哀恸，或追求圣洁，都带有律法主义或重回捆绑的意味。
Rutherford exposes this for what it is: not a defense of grace, but a perversion of it.
卢瑟福揭露了其本质：这不是对恩典的捍卫，而是对恩典的扭曲。
With pastoral clarity and theological depth, he insists that Christ frees us from the law as a covenant of works—not as a rule of life.
他以教牧的清晰和神学的深度，坚持认为基督使我们脱离作为行为之约的律法——而不是脱离作为生活准则的律法。
For Rutherford, the gospel is no enemy of the law; rather, it empowers true obedience born from faith and love.
对卢瑟福而言，福音不是律法的敌人；相反，它赋予力量，使人能生发出自信心和爱心的真顺服。
His oft-repeated conviction is this: “The law is not the cause of life, but the path of the living.”
他常重申的信念是：“律法不是生命之因，却是生命之道。”
What makes this work especially powerful is Rutherford’s dual posture of theological rigor and spiritual concern.
使这部作品尤其有力量的，是卢瑟福神学上的严谨和属灵上关怀的双重姿态。
He writes not to score points in a controversy but to protect Christ’s flock from delusion and despair.
他写作不是为了在争论中得分，而是为了保护基督的羊群免受迷惑和绝望。
He warns that a faith without obedience is no true faith at all, and that a gospel stripped of repentance and holiness becomes license, not liberty.
他警告说，没有顺服的信心根本不是真信心，一个剥离了悔改和圣洁的福音会成为放纵，而不是自由。
Through over 90 chapters, Rutherford systematically addresses a host of Antinomian errors—both doctrinal and practical.
通过九十多章的篇幅，卢瑟福系统地处理了大量的反律法主义谬误——包括教义上的和实践上的。
He refutes their denial of the moral law’s authority, their false views of justification and sanctification, their confusion over the difference between the covenants, their misreading of gospel freedom, and their dismissal of repentance, ordinances, and assurance grounded in obedience.
他驳斥了他们对道德律法权威的否定，他们对成义和成圣的错误观点，他们对诸约之间差异的混淆，他们对福音自由的误读，以及他们对悔改、蒙恩之道和基于顺服的确据的摒弃。
He draws careful distinctions between law and gospel, but also shows their beautiful harmony in the life of the believer.
他在律法和福音之间作了仔细的区分，但也展示了它们在信徒生命中美好的和谐。
With pastoral warmth, he urges readers to embrace both justification by faith alone and the sanctifying work of the Spirit in accordance with God’s law.
他以教牧的温暖，敦促读者既要拥抱唯独因信称义，也要拥抱圣灵按照上帝律法所行的成圣之工。
For today’s reader, this volume offers both a theological compass and a spiritual tonic.
对于今天的读者来说，这本书既提供了神学指南针，也提供了属灵补剂。
In an age often prone to grace without discipleship, assurance without repentance, and spiritual talk without moral weight, Rutherford’s voice rings with refreshing clarity: Christ saves us to make us holy.
在一个常常倾向于有恩典无门徒训练、有确据无悔改、有属灵言谈无道德分量的时代，卢瑟福的声音以令人耳目一新的清晰度响起：基督拯救我们，是要使我们成圣。
Grace leads us to walk in the commandments of God—not to despise them.
恩典引导我们行在上帝的诫命中——而不是藐视它们。
This edition, abridged and modernized, retains Rutherford’s structure and argument while making his 17th-century prose more accessible to contemporary readers.
这个节选和现代化的版本，保留了卢瑟福的结构和论点，同时使他17世纪的散文对当代读者更易读。
Whether read devotionally, studied theologically, or used in pastoral counseling, it offers rich insight into a gospel that is both free and transforming.
无论是用于灵修阅读、神学研究，还是用于教牧辅导，它都为我们深入理解那既是白白赐予又具改变生命大能的福音，提供了丰富的洞见。
