《从奥古斯丁到亚米念：教会历史中恩典与意志的历史》（From Augustine to Arminius: A History of Grace and Will Through Church History）是对基督教历史上最具关键性的神学辩论之一的引人入胜的探索。
This book explores the contrasting doctrines of grace and free will, as championed by two influential figures: Augustine of Hippo and Pelagius..
本书探讨了两位有影响力的代表人物——希波的奥古斯丁（Augustine of Hippo）和伯拉纠（Pelagius）所倡导的，关于恩典与自由意志的对比教义。
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book begins with a preface that sets the stage for the ensuing discourse.
本书的结构旨在提供全面的理解，首先以一篇序言（preface）开场，为随后的论述做好铺垫。
It then moves into a detailed examination of Augustine’s Doctrine of the Bondage of the Will, highlighting Augustine’s belief in original sin and the complete dependence on God for salvation.
接着，它进入对奥古斯丁关于意志被捆绑的教义（Doctrine of the Bondage of the Will）的详细考察，突显了奥古斯丁对原罪（original sin）和救恩完全依赖上帝的信仰。

The narrative then transitions to the impact of these doctrines on the Reformation, with a focus on Martin Luther and John Calvin’s works.
叙事随后过渡到这些教义对宗教改革（Reformation）的影响，重点关注马丁·路德（Martin Luther）和约翰·加尔文（John Calvin）的著作。
This section not only explores their writings but also how their interpretations led to a significant transformation in the Church’s approach to grace and free will.
这部分不仅探讨了他们的著作，而且探讨了他们的解释如何导致教会对待恩典与自由意志的方式发生了重大转变（transformation）。
In a compelling segment, the book discusses the confessions and creeds that emerged from the Reformation, providing a contextual understanding of how these debates influenced broader Christian thought and practice.
在一个引人注目的部分中，本书讨论了从宗教改革中产生的信条（confessions）和信经（creeds），提供了对这些辩论如何影响更广泛的基督教思想和实践的语境理解。
The book culminates in an exploration of the Calvinist/Arminian controversy, bringing the discussion into a more modern context.

对于任何有兴趣了解关于恩典、自由意志的根深蒂固的信仰，以及它们如何在历代雕塑了基督教信仰的人来说，这是一本必读之书。
B. B. Warfield said,
B. B. 华菲德说：
“Augustine [was one of the early founders] of Roman Catholicism and the author of that doctrine of grace which it has been the constantly pursued effort of Roman Catholicism to neutralize, and which in very fact either must be neutralized by, or will neutralize, Roman Catholicism.
“奥古斯丁是罗马天主教（Roman Catholicism）的[早期创始人之一]，也是恩典教义的作者，罗马天主教一直致力于使该教义无效化（neutralize），而该教义实际上要么必须被罗马天主教无效化，要么将使罗马天主教无效化。
Two children were struggling in the womb of his mind.
两个孩子在祂思想的子宫中挣扎。
There can be no doubt which was the child of his heart.
毫无疑问，哪个是祂心中的孩子。
His doctrine of the Church he had received whole from his predecessors, and he gave it merely the precision and vitality which insured its persistence.
祂的教会教义是从祂的前辈那里完整地继承下来的，而祂只是赋予了它确保其持久性的精确性和生命力。
His doctrine of grace was all his own: it represented the very core of his being . . .
祂的恩典教义完全属于祂自己：它代表了祂存在的真正核心。 . .
it was inevitable, had time been allowed, that his inherited doctrine of the Church, too, with all its implications, would have gone down before it, and Augustine would have bequeathed to the Church, not “problems,” but a thoroughly worked out system of evangelical religion. . . .
如果时间允许，祂继承的教会教义及其所有含义，也必然会在它面前倒下，奥古斯丁将遗赠给教会的，不是“问题”，而是一个经过彻底阐述的福音派宗教体系。 . . .
The problem which Augustine bequeathed to the Church for solution, the Church required a thousand years to solve.
奥古斯丁遗留给教会待解决的问题，教会需要一千年才能解决。
But even so, it is Augustine who gave us the Reformation.
但即便如此，正是奥古斯丁为我们带来了宗教改革。
For the Reformation, inwardly considered, was just the ultimate triumph of Augustine’s doctrine of grace over Augustine’s doctrine of the Church. (Warfield, Calvin and Augustine, 321-22)
因为宗教改革，从内在来看，恰恰是奥古斯丁恩典教义对奥古斯丁教会教义的最终胜利。（华菲德，《加尔文与奥古斯丁》，321-22页）
The Bible is our authority in all matters of our faith and practice.
圣经是我们信仰和实践所有事宜的权威。
But investigating how the church interpreted the Bible through its history gives us a great deal of understanding of who we are now.
但是，探究教会在其历史中如何解释圣经，使我们对我们现在的身份有了极大的理解。
Pointing out the various strains of Christianity, that is, which ones have remains faithful to Scripture and which have deviated, may help us to see more clearly where we may have gone astray.
指出基督教的各种流派（strains），即哪些流派一直忠于圣经，哪些流派有所偏离，可能有助于我们更清楚地看到我们可能在哪里走错了路（gone astray）。
