    John Brown of Haddington’s Of God, the Author, Object, and End of All Religion is a profound theological treatise exploring the foundational truths about God’s nature, attributes, and His relation to creation.
    哈丁顿的约翰·布朗所著的《论神,所有宗教的作者、对象和目的》(Of God, the Author, Object, and End of All Religion),是一部深刻的神学论著(theological treatise),探索关于神之本性(nature)、属性(attributes),以及祂与受造物(creation)之间关系的基础真理。

    Rooted deeply in Scripture, Brown opens the work by examining the character of God as the source and goal of all true religion.
    布朗深深植根于圣经,他以考察神作为所有真宗教(true religion)的源头和目标这一品格(character)来展开这部作品。

    His careful exposition unfolds the perfections of God—His wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth—grounding each doctrine in rich biblical teaching.
    祂细致的阐释(exposition)揭示了神的完全性(perfections of God)——祂的智慧、能力、圣洁、公义、良善和真理——将每一个教义都建立在丰富的圣经教导之上。

    A particularly compelling feature of Brown’s work is his exploration of the divine names and attributes, explaining how each reveals vital truths about God’s self-existence, sovereignty, and covenant faithfulness.
    布朗作品中一个特别引人注目的特点,是祂对神圣名号(divine names)和属性的探索,解释了每一个名号和属性如何揭示关于神自存性(self-existence)、主权(sovereignty)和圣约信实(covenant faithfulness)的重要真理。

    He masterfully addresses the Trinity, the decrees of God, and His providential works in creation and redemption.
    祂精湛地论述了三位一体(Trinity)、神的预旨(decrees of God),以及祂在创造和救赎中的护理工作(providential works)。

    Brown does not merely present abstract doctrines but draws the reader to worship, emphasizing how the knowledge of God transforms the heart and life of a believer.
    布朗不仅仅是呈现抽象的教义,而是引导读者去敬拜,强调认识神如何改变信徒的心灵和生命。

    What makes this book especially impactful is its clarity and depth.

    Brown balances rigorous theological exposition with a pastoral sensitivity, making this an ideal resource for both personal study and group discipleship.
