With a rich array of scriptural references and theological reflection, Downame presents both a spiritual guide and a practical handbook for Christians seeking to master their emotions in a manner that aligns with God’s Word.
唐纳姆以丰富的圣经引用和神学反思,为寻求以符合神话语的方式掌控他们情绪的基督徒提供了一份属灵指南和实用手册。
Built around a central scriptural foundation, Proverbs 16:32 — “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city” — the book is methodically organized into chapters that explore both the sinfulness of unjust anger and the virtues of righteous indignation, providing readers with an understanding of when anger is appropriate and how it should be managed.
本书以核心的圣经根基建立,箴言16:32——”不轻易发怒的,胜过勇士;治服己心的,强如取城”——本书有条理地组织成各章,探讨不义之怒的罪性和义怒的美德,为读者提供对何时愤怒是适当的以及应当如何管理的理解。
Downame begins by defining anger as an emotion that involves both the body and the soul.
唐纳姆首先将愤怒定义为涉及身体和灵魂的情绪。
He explains that anger often arises from an injured sense of self-worth, pride, or covetousness and becomes a sinful force when it seeks revenge or is disproportionate to its cause.
他解释说,愤怒常常从受伤的自我价值感、骄傲或贪婪中产生,当它寻求报复或与其原因不成比例时,就成为罪恶的力量。
He distinguishes between righteous and unrighteous anger, asserting that anger can be holy when it stems from a zeal for God’s glory or the good of one’s neighbor.
他区分义怒和不义之怒,断言当愤怒源于对神荣耀的热心或邻舍的益处时,愤怒可以是圣洁的。
Unjust anger is portrayed as a “contagious disease of the soul,” wreaking havoc both privately and publicly.
不义之怒被描绘为”灵魂的传染病”,在私下和公开都造成破坏。
Downame eloquently outlines how this emotion can cause immense personal and communal strife, leading to rash decisions, broken relationships, and spiritual decay.
唐纳姆雄辩地勾勒出这种情绪如何能够造成巨大的个人和群体纷争,导致轻率的决定、破裂的关系和属灵的衰败。
He draws heavily from scripture to underscore the grave consequences of harboring and nurturing such anger.
他大量引用圣经来强调怀藏和滋养这种愤怒的严重后果。
In the latter part of the book, Downame offers practical remedies for overcoming unjust anger.
在本书的后半部分,唐纳姆提供了克服不义之怒的实用补救方法。
He encourages Christians to cultivate patience, practice self-control, and labor for humility.
他鼓励基督徒培养忍耐,操练自制,并为谦卑而劳力。
He proposes that anger should be tempered by love, softened by mercy, and ultimately governed by reason enlightened by God’s Word.
他提出愤怒应当被爱调和,被怜悯软化,并最终由被神话语光照的理性管理。
By adopting these measures, believers can transform anger from a destructive force into a catalyst for positive change and justice.
通过采用这些措施,信徒可以将愤怒从破坏性力量转化为积极改变和公义的催化剂。
Downame does not advocate for a life devoid of anger but for its correct application.
唐纳姆不提倡没有愤怒的生活,而是提倡其正确应用。
He argues that righteous anger — anger directed against sin, injustice, or blasphemy — is not only permissible but necessary for Christians.
他论证义怒——针对罪、不义或亵渎的愤怒——对基督徒不仅是允许的,而且是必要的。
Such anger should, however, be short-lived, free of malice, and aimed at the reformation of the sinner rather than their destruction.
然而,这种愤怒应当是短暂的,没有恶意的,并且旨在罪人的悔改而非他们的毁灭。
The Corrective for Unjust Anger is compelling because it addresses a universal human emotion with depth and sensitivity.
《对不义之怒的纠正》引人注目,因为它以深度和敏感性处理普遍的人类情绪。
Downame provides not just a theological treatise but also a pastoral guide that speaks directly to the struggles of daily Christian living.
唐纳姆提供的不仅是神学论著,也是直接针对日常基督徒生活挣扎的牧养指南。
His use of scripture and logical reasoning, combined with his empathetic understanding of human frailty, makes this work a valuable resource for anyone seeking to grow in grace and self-control.
他对圣经和逻辑推理的使用,结合他对人性软弱的同情理解,使这部作品成为任何寻求在恩典和自制中成长之人的宝贵资源。
