Puritan Voices on Genuine Faith
清教徒关于真实信心的声音
Editor’s Note
编者按
his volume, Authentic Christianity: Puritan Voices on Genuine Faith, was compiled during a sustained study of James 2:14–26 and its searching call to examine the relationship between faith and works.
本书《真实的基督信仰：清教徒关于真实信心的声音》是在对雅各书二章十四至二十六节进行持续研读的过程中编纂而成，该经文严肃地呼召人省察信心与行为之间的关系。
In a time when the biblical doctrine of conversion is often reduced to mere profession, these classic messages were chosen because they speak with clarity, conviction, and pastoral urgency about the nature of true religion.
在一个圣经中关于归正的教义常被简化为仅仅口头承认的时代，这些经典讲章之所以被选入，是因为它们以清晰、坚定并充满牧者迫切性的方式论述了真正宗教的本质。
Each sermon in this collection was selected from the public-domain writings of leading Puritan and early evangelical pastors whose ministries were marked by both deep doctrinal fidelity and practical searching of the conscience.
本书所收录的每一篇讲道，均选自杰出清教徒及早期福音派牧者的公共领域著作，他们的事奉既以深厚的教义忠诚为标志，也以实际而深入的良心省察为特征。
Jonathan Edwards’ The Marks of a Work of the True Spirit opens the collection by laying out the biblical tests for discerning genuine spiritual influence, a topic central to seasons of revival and controversy in his own day.
乔纳森·爱德华兹的《真圣灵工作的标志》作为本书的开篇，阐明了分辨真实属灵影响的圣经准则，这一主题在他所处的复兴与争议时期居于核心地位。
George Whitefield’s The Almost Christian follows with a piercing call to distinguish outward religious practice from inward, saving grace.
随后是乔治·怀特腓德的《几乎的基督徒》，以刺透人心的呼召分辨外在的宗教实践与内在使人得救的恩典。
Thomas Shepard’s Few Saved with Much Difficulty then surveys Scripture and church history to show how rare genuine conversion has always been, pressing readers toward sober self examination.
接着，托马斯·谢泼德的《得救者寥寥且极其艰难》纵览圣经与教会历史，显明真实的归正历来何等稀少，并催促读者进行严肃的自我省察。
Solomon Stoddard’s The Way to Know Sincerity: Hypocrisy Cleared Up provides pastoral guidance for determining the presence or absence of true grace in the soul.
所罗门·斯托达德的《辨明真诚之道：清除虚伪》为判断灵魂中是否存在真实恩典提供了牧养性的指引。
Benjamin Keach’s The Counterfeit Christian continues this theme by exposing the subtle ways self-deception can imitate real godliness.
本杰明·基奇的《假冒的基督徒》延续这一主题，揭露自我欺骗如何以微妙的方式仿冒真正的敬虔。
Finally, Thomas Brooks’ Hypocrites Detected concludes the volume with a searching exposé of hypocrisy, urging readers to flee to Christ in sincerity and truth.
最后，托马斯·布鲁克斯的《揭露假冒为善者》以对虚伪的深刻揭发为本书作结，劝勉读者以真诚和真理逃向基督。
These sermons, though written in another age, address the same spiritual challenges we face today.
这些讲章虽然写于另一个时代，却回应了我们今日所面对的同样属灵挑战。
