Truth and Error by Horatius Bonar is a compelling exploration of key theological doctrines, written with a pastor’s heart and a scholar’s precision.
霍雷修斯·博纳尔（Horatius Bonar）的《真理与谬误》（Truth and Error）是对关键神学教义的引人入胜的探索，以牧者的心肠和学者的精确性写成。
In this work, Bonar seeks to address some of the most critical debates of his time, focusing particularly on the nature of human depravity, divine sovereignty, and the interplay between God’s will and man’s will.
在这部作品中，博纳尔试图解决祂那个时代一些最关键的争论，特别侧重于人类堕落（depravity）的本质、神的主权，以及神的旨意和人的意志之间的相互作用。
Through a series of deeply reflective letters, Bonar confronts the prevalent theological errors of his day, seeking to protect believers from “diverse and strange doctrines” that threaten to lead them astray.
通过一系列深刻反思的信件，博纳尔正视祂那个时代流行的神学谬误，力求保护信徒免受那些可能引诱他们误入歧途的“各样怪异的教训”。
The book is not a systematic theology but rather a focused discussion on a few vital points that Bonar feels have been most perverted or denied.
这本书不是一本系统神学，而是集中讨论了博纳尔认为被最严重扭曲或否认的几个重要观点。
His appeal is consistently to the authority of Scripture: “What are the reasonings, or opinions, or inferences of men? What is the chaff to the wheat?”
祂不断呼吁圣言的权威：“人的推理、意见或推论算什么？糠秕怎能与麦子比较呢？”
He challenges readers to return to the Bible, to let it be the final arbiter of truth, rather than human speculation or rationalization.
祂挑战读者回到圣经，让它成为真理的最终仲裁者，而不是人类的推测或合理化。
At the heart of Bonar’s argument is the doctrine of total depravity — the idea that man is “a totally and thoroughly depraved being by nature,” ruined, helpless, and blind, dead in trespasses and sins.
博纳尔论证的核心是完全堕落（total depravity）的教义——即人“在本质上是一个完全彻底堕落的生命”，败坏、无助、瞎眼，死在过犯和罪恶之中。
Bonar argues that our understanding of this doctrine shapes our entire theology, impacting our views on election, predestination, the work of Christ, and the nature of faith and the Gospel itself.
博纳尔论证说，我们对这个教义的理解塑造了我们的整个神学，影响了我们对拣选、预定、基督的工作，以及信心和福音本身的本质的看法。
He raises pressing questions: Is it possible to save man without the direct intervention of the Triune God?
祂提出了紧迫的问题：没有三一神（Triune God）的直接干预，是否可能拯救人类？
Can a totally depraved being initiate their return to God, or is salvation solely the work of divine grace?
一个完全堕落的生命能主动开始归向神吗？还是救恩完全是神圣恩典的工作？
Bonar critiques the errors of his day as manifestations of human pride — the same pride that Satan instilled in Adam and that continues to afflict humanity.
博纳尔批评祂那个时代的错误是人类骄傲的表现——正是撒但灌输给亚当，并继续折磨人类的同一种骄傲。
He observes that objections to doctrines like God’s sovereignty are not based on Scripture but on human reasonings.
祂观察到，对像神的主权这样的教义的反对，并非基于圣经，而是基于人类的推理。
He calls believers to “cleave to the Word of God” and to distrust their own understanding, reminding them that “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God.”
祂呼吁信徒“紧紧依靠神的话语”，并质疑自己的理解，提醒他们“属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事”。
This book will particularly appeal to those seeking clarity amid the confusion of contemporary theological debates.
这本书将特别吸引那些在当代神学辩论的混乱中寻求清晰的人。
Bonar’s writing is both pastoral and polemical, offering comfort and assurance to those who hold fast to biblical truth, while also challenging those who waver.
博纳尔的写作既有牧者之风，又充满辩论性，为那些坚守圣经真理的人提供安慰和确据，同时也挑战那些动摇的人。
His arguments are compelling, rooted deeply in Scripture,并 presented with a sense of urgency that reflects his concern for the spiritual health of the church.
祂的论证引人注目，深深植根于圣经，并以一种紧迫感呈现，反映了祂对教会属灵健康的关注。
The text is rich with biblical references, ensuring that every assertion is grounded in the authority of God’s Word.
文本中充满了圣经引用，确保每一个论断都基于神圣言的权威。
