This work is a must-read for anyone grappling with the questions of free will, divine sovereignty, and human responsibility within the Christian faith.
这部作品对于任何在基督教信仰内思考自由意志、神圣主权和人类责任问题的人来说都是必读之作。
Chantry begins by tracing the historical debate surrounding free will, highlighting discussions from Augustine and Pelagius to the modern disagreements between Reformed and Fundamentalist thinkers.
钱特里开始追溯围绕自由意志的历史辩论，突出从奥古斯丁和佩拉纠到改革宗和基要派思想家之间现代分歧的讨论。
This historical context sets the stage for a deeper understanding of how interpretations of human will have evolved and why they matter today.
这个历史背景为更深入理解人类意志的解释如何演变以及它们今天为何重要奠定了基础。
Central to the book is Chantry’s examination of the will as a component of human nature, influenced by the heart and bound by sin.
本书的核心是钱特里对意志作为人性组成部分的考查，它受心灵影响并被罪束缚。
Using clear and compelling arguments, he dismantles the notion of the will as an autonomous force, instead presenting it as contingent upon one’s moral and spiritual state.
使用清楚和令人信服的论证，他拆毁了意志作为自主力量的观念，而是将其呈现为依赖于一个人的道德和属灵状态。
He argues that while man possesses will, it is neither sovereign nor free in the absolute sense but is significantly constrained by the sinful nature inherited from Adam.
他论证说，虽然人拥有意志，但它既不是主权的也不是绝对意义上自由的，而是被从亚当继承的罪性显著约束。
Chantry carefully addresses common misconceptions about the will’s freedom, particularly the idea that it can operate independently of God’s sovereign grace or the deep-seated corruption of sin.
钱特里仔细处理关于意志自由的常见误解，特别是它可以独立于神的主权恩典或根深蒂固的罪恶败坏而运作的观念。
He clarifies that true freedom is not the liberty to do anything one pleases but rather the restored ability to live in accordance with God’s will, achieved only through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.
他澄清真正的自由不是做任何人喜欢之事的自由，而是按照神的意志生活的恢复能力，只有通过圣灵的重生工作才能达到。
“Man’s Will: Free Yet Bound” not only challenges the reader to rethink freedom but also offers comfort in the doctrine of divine sovereignty.
《人的意志：自由却受束缚》不仅挑战读者重新思考自由，还在神圣主权的教义中提供安慰。
It reassures believers that their salvation and sanctification are ultimately not reliant on the fickleness of human choice but secured by the gracious, unchanging purposes of God.
它向信徒保证，他们的救恩和成圣最终不依赖于人类选择的变化无常，而是由神恩慈、不变的旨意所保障。
This book is a valuable resource for pastors, theologians, and laypersons alike, providing clarity and biblical perspective on one of Christianity’s most debated topics.
这本书对牧师、神学家和平信徒来说都是宝贵的资源，在基督教最具争议的话题之一上提供清晰和圣经的观点。
It invites readers into a transformative understanding of their will, bound by sin yet liberated by Christ, to walk in the freedom of life under God’s grace.
它邀请读者进入对他们意志的变革性理解，被罪束缚却被基督释放，在神的恩典下行走在生命的自由中。
