Written not in Latin for scholars, but in the common tongue for ordinary believers, this edition offers a unique glimpse into Calvin’s early theological vision: pastoral, devotional, and deeply rooted in the authority of Scripture.
不是用拉丁文为学者而写，而是用通俗语言为普通信徒而写，这个版本提供了对加尔文早期神学异象的独特洞察：牧养的、灵修的，并深深扎根于圣经权威。
It reflects a critical moment in the Reformation, where the truths of the gospel were not only being defended—but proclaimed for the life and comfort of the Church.
它反映了宗教改革的关键时刻，福音的真理不仅被辩护——而且为教会的生命和安慰而宣告。
Organized into six books, this edition walks the reader through the foundations of Christian doctrine: the knowledge of God and of ourselves, the fall and misery of mankind, the law and gospel, the person and work of Christ, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the life of the Church.
分为六卷，这个版本带领读者走过基督教教义的根基：认识神和认识我们自己、人类的堕落和悲惨、律法和福音、基督的位格和工作、圣灵的职事，以及教会的生活。
Calvin explains justification by faith alone with profound clarity, warns against the errors of Rome with Scripture-saturated precision, and encourages believers to live holy and prayerful lives in communion with God.
加尔文以深刻的清晰性解释唯独因信称义，以充满圣经的精确性警告罗马的错误，并鼓励信徒过圣洁和祷告的生活，与神相交。
His pastoral heart shines especially in the chapters on prayer, the Christian life, and the sacraments—written to nourish both mind and soul.
他的牧养之心在关于祷告、基督徒生活和圣礼的章节中特别闪耀——为了滋养心思和灵魂而写。
This English translation of the 1541 French edition retains the warmth, urgency, and simplicity with which Calvin wrote for the ordinary believer.
这个1541年法文版的英文翻译保持了加尔文为普通信徒写作时的温暖、急迫和朴素。
It is a theological classic, not only for the scholar’s study, but for every Christian who longs to understand the grace of God, the majesty of Christ, and the calling of life before His face.
它是神学经典，不仅为学者的研究，也为每一个渴望理解神的恩典、基督的威严和在祂面前生活呼召的基督徒。
In an age hungry for clarity and conviction, Calvin’s words still call the Church to worship, faith, and godly living—founded on the Word of God alone.
在一个饥渴清晰性和确信的时代，加尔文的话语仍然呼召教会敬拜、信心和敬虔生活——单单建立在神的话语上。
