Thanks to Bill Gross for his painstaking efforts to hand-type this true classic Christian book which he also mildly updated for modern readers. The 1279 footnotes alone would have been quite a task.
感谢比尔·格罗斯辛勤努力地手工打字录入这本真正的基督教经典著作，他还为现代读者对其进行了适度更新。仅1279个脚注就已经是相当艰巨的任务。

“The Marrow of Sacred Divinity” by William Ames is a seminal work that distills the essence of Puritan theology into a concise yet profound exploration of faith, morality, and the divine.
威廉·埃姆斯的《神圣神学精髓》是一部开创性的作品，它将清教徒神学的精髓提炼为对信仰、道德和神性的简明而深刻的探索。
Ames, an English Puritan minister, philosopher, and controversialist, crafts this book with a clear intent to address and simplify the complex themes of divinity for those without the luxury of extensive leisure or scholarly wit.
埃姆斯作为英国清教徒牧师、哲学家和论战家，撰写此书的明确意图是为那些没有大量闲暇时间或学术才智的人解读并简化神学的复杂主题。
Amidst a backdrop of theological contention, particularly the Calvinist-Arminian debate, Ames navigates through the dense forest of religious doctrine to present a clear, methodical account of Christian belief and practice.
在神学争论的背景下，特别是加尔文主义与阿民念主义的辩论中，埃姆斯穿越宗教教义的茂密森林，呈现出一个清晰、有条理的基督教信仰与实践的阐述。
The book is structured into two main sections, covering a wide range of topics from the nature and essence of God, sin, redemption, and the church, to more practical aspects of faith such as sacraments, ecclesiastical discipline, and cases of conscience.
该书分为两个主要部分，涵盖了广泛的主题，从上帝的本质与本体、罪、救赎和教会，到信仰的更多实践方面，如圣礼、教会纪律和良心案例。
Ames confronts potential criticisms head-on in his premonition, anticipating objections to his methodical approach, the brevity of his compendium, and his stylistic choices.
埃姆斯在其预告中直面潜在的批评，预期到对他的方法论方式、纲要的简明性以及他的风格选择的反对意见。
He defends his work as necessary and useful, particularly for those seeking direct and accessible theological insights without the need to traverse the expansive volumes of existing works.
他为自己的工作辩护，认为它是必要且有用的，特别是对那些寻求直接且易于理解的神学见解而不需要翻阅现有大量著作的人。
Ames’s ambition is not to overshadow the contributions of other learned theologians but to supplement them by offering a perspective that might resonate more closely with the spiritual needs of some readers.
埃姆斯的野心不是要掩盖其他学者神学家的贡献，而是通过提供一种可能更贴近某些读者灵性需求的视角来补充它们。
He employs a logical structure to enhance understanding, judgment, and memory, eschewing rhetorical flourishes for clarity and precision.
他采用逻辑结构来增强理解、判断和记忆，避免使用修辞华丽而追求清晰和精确。
Despite anticipating criticism for perceived obscurities or stylistic dryness, Ames remains committed to his pedagogical goals, prioritizing the effective transmission of theological knowledge over stylistic elegance.
尽管预期会因为感知上的晦涩或风格干枯而受到批评，埃姆斯仍然坚持他的教学目标，优先考虑神学知识的有效传递而非风格的优雅。
“The Marrow of Sacred Divinity” stands as a testament to Ames’s dedication to teaching and his desire to foster piety through a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine.
《神圣神学精髓》是埃姆斯对教学的奉献以及通过更深入理解基督教教义来培养虔诚的愿望的见证。
His work invites readers into a reflective exploration of their faith, encouraging engagement with the fundamental questions of divinity, sin, salvation, and the ultimate pursuit of glory.
他的作品邀请读者对自己的信仰进行反思性探索，鼓励他们参与关于神性、罪、救恩和对荣耀的终极追求的基本问题。
Through this book, Ames contributes a vital link in the chain of theological discourse, offering a resource that is both intellectually enriching and spiritually uplifting.
通过这本书，埃姆斯为神学话语链条提供了重要的一环，提供了一个既在智力上丰富又在灵性上提升的资源。
