    Are you wondering if there’s a God, or struggling to find purpose in your life?

    你是否在疑惑是否有神存在，或在生活中努力寻找目标？

    Are you a Christian, glad to be one but distressingly uncertain about what you really believe and why you believe it?

    你是否是一个基督徒，为此感到高兴但令人苦恼地不确定你真正相信什么以及为什么相信？

    If so, this book is for you.

    如果是这样，这本书就是为你而写的。

    Yes, it’s big, incorporating equal parts of Philosophy, Apologetics, and Systematic Theology.

    是的，它很庞大，同等地融合了哲学、护教学和系统神学。

    But it’s also warm and readable, full of charts, diagrams, story, adventure, and the joy of discovery.

    但它也温暖而易读，充满图表、图解、故事、冒险和发现的喜悦。

    Over a decade in the writing, “The Test” is a heartfelt invitation to seekers everywhere (especially the young), that they should embark–with a sympathetic companion at their side–upon the ultimate journey to the ultimate destination: the meaning of life.

    经过十多年的写作，《考验》是对各地寻求者（特别是年轻人）的衷心邀请，让他们在身边有一位同情的同伴陪伴下，踏上通往终极目标的终极旅程：生命的意义。

    About the Author

    关于作者

    Dean Davis (1947- ) was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

    迪安·戴维斯（1947- ）在旧金山湾区出生并长大。

    In 1969, he graduated from U.C. Santa Cruz with a degree in Philosophy.

    1969年，他从加州大学圣克鲁兹分校毕业，获得哲学学位。

    A true child of the 60’s, he plunged headlong into the counterculture, practicing a wide variety of Eastern religions, especially Zen Buddhism.

    作为60年代真正的孩子，他一头扎进反文化运动中，实践各种东方宗教，特别是禅宗佛教。

    Then, in 1974, in the midst of a deep personal crisis, the God of the Bible graciously stepped in, turning a seeker into a finder, and an orphan into a beloved son, all through a life-changing revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    然后，在1974年，在深刻的个人危机中，圣经的神恩慈地介入，通过主耶稣基督改变生命的启示，将一个寻求者变成了寻见者，将一个孤儿变成了蒙爱的儿子。

    Since then, Dean has followed the Lord down many roads, serving as a pastor, teaching elder, Sunday School director (with his wife, Linda), Christian bookstore manager, pro-life leader, and substitute school teacher.

    从那时起，迪安跟随主走过许多道路，担任过牧师、教导长老、主日学校长（与妻子琳达一起）、基督教书店经理、维护生命领袖和代课教师。

    In recent years, he has greatly enjoyed working as the Director of Come Let Us Reason, a Bible teaching ministry specializing in Worlvdiew Studies and Apologetics.

    近年来，他非常享受担任”来让我们推理”的主任，这是一个专门从事世界观研究和护教学的圣经教导事工。

    He and Linda currently reside in Santa Rosa, California.

    他和琳达目前居住在加利福尼亚州圣罗莎。

    Believing with Luther Burbank that it is indeed “the chosen spot of the earth as far as nature is concerned,” they hope to grow old there together, even as they keep careful tabs on their five far-flung kids: Mark, Beth, Jonathan, Rebekah, and Sara.

    他们与路德·伯班克一样相信这里确实是”就自然而言地球上的选中之地”，他们希望在那里一起变老，同时密切关注他们分散各地的五个孩子：马克、贝丝、约拿单、利百加和萨拉。
