John Calvin’s “On the History of Melchizedek” explores the biblical account of Melchizedek, offering theological insights into his character and significance.
约翰·加尔文的《麦基洗德史论》探讨了麦基洗德的圣经记载，对其品格和意义提供了神学见解。
Calvin explores Melchizedek’s role as a figure (or type) of Christ, highlighting his priesthood and kingship as prefigurations of Christ’s eternal priesthood.
加尔文探讨了麦基洗德作为基督预表（或原型）的角色，强调其祭司职分和君王职分是对基督永恒祭司职分的预示。
Through detailed exegesis, Calvin unpacks the implications of Melchizedek’s interaction with Abraham, emphasizing the theological and spiritual lessons relevant to Christian faith and practice.
通过详细的释经，加尔文阐释了麦基洗德与亚伯拉罕互动的含义，强调了与基督徒信仰和实践相关的神学及属灵教训。
This work serves as a bridge between Old Testament figures and New Testament fulfillment in Christ, underscoring Calvin’s exegetical skill and deep theological understanding.
这部著作在旧约人物与基督里的新约应验之间架起了一座桥梁，突显了加尔文的释经技巧和深厚的神学理解。
Calvin articulates how Melchizedek, as both king and priest, prefigures the dual roles of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the unique position of Melchizedek in the biblical narrative as being without genealogy, which serves to underscore the eternal priesthood of Christ.
加尔文阐明了麦基洗德作为君王和祭司，如何预表了耶稣基督的双重角色，强调了麦基洗德在圣经叙事中无族谱的独特性，这突出了基督永恒的祭司职分。
This typology is crucial for Calvin’s theological framework, highlighting the continuity between the Old Testament figures and the fulfillment they find in New Testament revelation.
这种预表论对加尔文的神学框架至关重要，突显了旧约人物与他们在新约启示中所找到的应验之间的连续性。
Melchizedek’s interaction with Abraham, particularly the blessing and the receiving of tithes, is interpreted as symbolizing the superiority of Christ’s priesthood over the Levitical priesthood, and thus, Melchizedek’s priesthood becomes a prophetic foreshadowing of the eternal priesthood of Christ.
麦基洗德与亚伯拉罕的互动，特别是祝福和接受什一奉献，被解释为象征着基督的祭司职分优于利未人的祭司职分，因此，麦基洗德的祭司职分成为基督永恒祭司职分的预言性预示。
Calvin deeply explores the theological significance of Melchizedek’s priesthood and kingship as direct figures of Christ’s own ministry, emphasizing that Melchizedek’s appearance in Genesis is not just a historical account but a divine appointment that reveals significant truths about the nature of Christ’s work of salvation.
加尔文深入探讨了麦基洗德的祭司职分和君王职分作为基督自身事工直接预表的神学意义，强调麦基洗德在《创世记》中的出现不仅仅是一个历史记载，而是一个神圣的安排，揭示了关于基督救赎工作本质的重要真理。
Melchizedek’s blessing of Abraham is particularly poignant, illustrating the greater reality that Christ, the true High Priest, blesses humanity with salvation and reconciliation to God.
麦基洗德对亚伯拉罕的祝福尤其深刻，说明了基督这位真正的大祭司以救恩和与神和好来祝福人类这一更伟大的事实。
Calvin uses this typology to argue for the centrality of Christ in all of Scripture, asserting that understanding Melchizedek’s role is key to grasping the comprehensive scope of God’s redemptive plan as revealed through biblical history.
加尔文运用这种预表论来论证基督在所有圣经中的中心地位，断言理解麦基洗德的角色是掌握神通过圣经历史所启示的救赎计划之全面范围的关键。
Moreover, Calvin’s interpretation serves as a bridge between the testaments, showcasing his exegetical skill in drawing out Christological meanings from Old Testament figures.
此外，加尔文的解释在两约之间架起了一座桥梁，展示了祂从旧约人物中引申出基督论意义的释经技巧。
This approach not only enriches the reader’s understanding of Scripture but also reinforces the Reformed emphasis on Christ as the culmination of God’s revelation.
这种方法不仅丰富了读者对圣经的理解，也强化了改革宗对基督作为神启示顶点的强调。
For Calvin, Melchizedek is more than a historical figure; he is a theological symbol that points to Christ’s surpassing priesthood and kingship, reinforcing the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.
对加尔文而言，麦基洗德不仅仅是一个历史人物；他是一个神学符号，指向基督卓越的祭司职分和君王职分，强化了唯独借着在基督里的信心、靠恩典得救的教义。
Calvin’s work on Melchizedek thus stands as a testament to his deep commitment to uncovering the Christ-centered unity of the Bible, offering profound insights into the character and work of Jesus Christ as foreshadowed in the Old Testament.
因此，加尔文关于麦基洗德的著作证明了他致力于揭示圣经以基督为中心的统一性的坚定承诺，为旧约中预示的耶稣基督的品格和工作提供了深刻的见解。
In the latter chapters, Calvin shifts his focus towards the patriarch Abraham, particularly emphasizing his obedience and faith through the narrative of sacrificing his son Isaac.
在后面的章节中，加尔文将焦点转向先祖亚伯拉罕，特别通过献上其子以撒的叙事来强调他的顺服和信心。
Calvin explores the profound trial of faith Abraham endured when commanded by God to offer Isaac as a burnt offering, a test that transcends mere obedience to reveal the depth of Abraham’s trust in God’s promises.
加尔文探讨了亚伯拉罕在蒙神吩咐献以撒为燔祭时所经受的深刻信心考验，这场考验超越了单纯的顺服，揭示了亚伯拉罕对神应许的深切信靠。
Calvin interprets this act not just as an isolated command but as a pivotal moment in the unfolding of divine providence, where Abraham’s actions prefigure the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.
加尔文将此行为不仅仅解释为一个孤立的命令，而是神护理展现过程中的一个关键时刻，其中亚伯拉罕的行为预表了基督最终的献祭。
This narrative serves as a lens through which Calvin examines themes of divine testing, the supremacy of faith over natural affection, and the believer’s call to surrender wholly to God’s will.
这个叙事成为加尔文审视神圣考验、信心超越自然情感之至高无上性以及信徒完全顺服神旨意的呼召等主题的透镜。
Calvin’s sermons on Abraham further consider the theological implications of Abraham’s response to God’s command, highlighting the patriarch as a model of unwavering faith amidst seemingly contradictory divine promises.
加尔文关于亚伯拉罕的讲道进一步思考了亚伯拉罕回应神命令的神学含义，突显了这位先祖在看似矛盾的神圣应许中作为坚定不移信心典范的形象。
Through Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac, Calvin underscores the essence of faith as a complete reliance on God’s fidelity to His word, even when human reason and natural affections would argue against obedience.
通过亚伯拉罕献以撒的意愿，加尔文强调了信心的本质，即完全依赖神对祂话语的信实，即使在人类理性和自然情感都反对顺服的时候。
This narrative, Calvin argues, demonstrates the necessity of subordinating all human desires and understandings to the will of God, trusting in His power to fulfill His promises in ways that surpass human comprehension.
加尔文认为，这个叙事表明了将所有人类欲望和理解都置于神的旨意之下的必要性，要信靠祂以超越人类理解的方式实现祂应许的大能。
Moreover, Calvin draws parallels between Abraham’s faith and the Christian experience, stressing that true believers are called to emulate Abraham’s obedience and trust in God.
此外，加尔文在亚伯拉罕的信心与基督徒的经历之间作了对比，强调真正的信徒蒙召效法亚伯拉罕对神的顺服和信靠。
He points out that just as Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness, so too is the believer’s faith in Christ the basis of their justification before God.
祂指出，正如亚伯拉罕的信心被算为他的义一样，信徒在基督里的信心也是他们在神面前称义的基础。
In doing so, Calvin connects the Old Testament narrative of Abraham’s sacrifice to the New Testament understanding of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
如此，加尔文将旧约中亚伯拉罕献祭的叙事与新约中借着信耶稣基督得救的理解联系起来。
Through these sermons, Calvin not only provides a rich theological analysis of Abraham’s life but also offers profound insights into the nature of faith, obedience, and the believer’s relationship with God, reinforcing the continuity between the Old and New Testaments in the divine plan of redemption.
通过这些讲道，加尔文不仅对亚伯拉罕的生平进行了丰富的神学分析，而且对信心、顺服以及信徒与神的关系的本质提供了深刻的见解，从而在神的救赎计划中强化了旧约与新约之间的连续性。
