    This is not a casual book.

    这不是一本休闲读物。

    It is a mountain of biblical theology—a theological Everest.

    这是一座圣经神学的高山——神学界的珠穆朗玛峰。

    Very few travelers in our generation have been willing to make the arduous ascent to John Owen’s original The Death of Death in the Death of Christ.

    在我们这一代中,很少有旅行者愿意艰难地攀登约翰·欧文原著《基督之死中的死之死》。

    His arguments are complex, his prose dense, and his reasoning relentless.

    他的论证复杂,他的文体深奥,他的推理无情。

    But the view from the top is glorious.

    但从顶峰看到的景象是荣美的。

    For those who dare to follow Owen’s trail, the reward is a breathtaking vision of Christ’s atonement—full, definite, and effective.

    对于那些敢于跟随欧文足迹的人来说,回报是对基督赎罪的令人惊叹的异象——完全的、确定的、有效的。

    This is why this new abridged, reformatted and modernized edition is a gift of profound pastoral value.

    这就是为什么这个新的删节版、重新格式化和现代化的版本是一份具有深刻牧养价值的礼物。

    This version brings Owen’s towering classic into the hands of modern readers without compromising the weight of his thought.

    这个版本将欧文的巍峨经典带到现代读者手中,而不损害他思想的分量。

    Every sentence has been refined for clarity, yet the granite core remains.

    每个句子都为了清晰而被精炼,但花岗岩般的核心仍然保留。

    The book is a powerful antidote to the vague and sentimental views of the cross that plague much of modern evangelicalism.

    这本书是对困扰现代福音主义的模糊和感伤的十字架观点的有力解毒剂。

    Owen demolishes the idea that Christ’s death merely makes salvation possible; he shows from Scripture that Christ actually accomplished redemption for those the Father gave Him.

    欧文摧毁了基督的死仅仅使救恩成为可能的观念;他从圣经中显明,基督实际上为那些圣父赐给祂的人成就了救赎。

    This is not cold theology—it is the warm hearth at which the weary and guilt-ridden soul finds assurance.

    这不是冰冷的神学——这是疲惫和负罪的灵魂找到确据的温暖炉火。

    But this is more than an intellectual exercise.

    但这不仅仅是智力练习。

    This book brings the reader to stand at the foot of the cross and see, not a general offer made to all and accepted by few, but a victorious Savior who really purchased, reconciled, and saved His people.

    这本书带领读者站在十字架脚下,看到的不是向所有人发出而被少数人接受的一般性邀请,而是一位得胜的救主,祂真正地买赎、和好并拯救了祂的百姓。

    As Owen argues, to say that Christ died for all and yet many perish is to deny the power of the cross.

    正如欧文论证的,说基督为所有人而死而许多人却灭亡,就是否认十字架的能力。

    Either Christ saves those for whom He died, or He failed.

    要么基督拯救了祂为之而死的那些人,要么祂失败了。

    There is no middle ground.

    没有中间立场。

    What makes this abridged edition especially valuable is that it opens the door wide for those who would never have dared to crack the original.

    使这个删节版特别有价值的是,它为那些永远不敢翻开原著的人敞开了大门。

    Pastors, students, and everyday Christians can now sit at the feet of one of the greatest theologians of the Reformation era and hear him say with Scripture’s full voice: Christ did not die in vain.

    牧师、学生和普通基督徒现在可以坐在改教时代最伟大的神学家之一的脚前,听他用圣经的完整声音说:基督的死不是徒然的。

    His death was not a possibility—it was a purchase.

    祂的死不是一个可能性——而是一次买赎。

    If you long to behold the glory of Christ’s cross—not just in its depth of suffering but in its certainty of accomplishment—read this book.

    如果你渴望看到基督十字架的荣耀——不仅在其受苦的深度上,而且在其成就的确定性上——请读这本书。

    Read it slowly.

    慢慢地读。

    Read it prayerfully.

    祷告地读。

    And come away worshiping.

    然后带着敬拜离开。
