    ‘The Princeton Sermons of Charles Hodge, one of the greatest Christian teachers of the 19th century, are only outlines; but what outlines!
    “查尔斯·霍奇(Charles Hodge),这位19世纪最伟大的基督教教师之一的普林斯顿讲道集,仅仅是提纲;但这是何等的提纲!

    They form almost a complete systematic theology, and are extraordinarily suggestive and satisfying.
    它们几乎构成了一部完整的系统神学,并具有非凡的启发性和满足感。

    Preachers who would teach, and Christians who would learn, will enjoy this book, though it will not yield much to lazy minds.’ — J.I. PACKER
    那些想要教导的传道人,以及想要学习的基督徒,将会喜欢这本书,尽管它对懒惰的心灵不会产生太大益处。” — J.I. 巴刻(PACKER)

    ‘These offer Hodge’s mature thought on a great many subjects, and they breathe the warmth of devotional fervour.
    ‘这些(讲道提纲)提供了霍奇对许多主题的成熟思想,它们散发着敬虔热忱的温暖。

    Here is a fund of succinct definition on the great themes of theology as they are related to the most practical concerns of the Christian and of the pastor …
    这里是关于神学各大主题的简明定义宝库,这些主题与基督徒和牧师最实际的关切相关……

    When these outlines are studiously and meditatively used they will prove for the reader to be the means of cultivating that intelligent piety of which the Seminary at Princeton was the nursery…
    当这些提纲被认真地和默想性地使用时,它们将被证明是读者培养那种明智的敬虔(intelligent piety)的途径,而普林斯顿神学院正是这种敬虔的摇篮……

    The masterful survey provided by this volume is calculated to rehabilitate in the thinking and practice of the present day those very patterns which are largely lost and which are our clamant need.
    本书所提供的精湛概览,旨在使今日的思维和实践中恢复那些大都失落、却是我们迫切需要的典范。

    May it be that by God’s grace this may be the fruit.’ – Professor John Murray
    愿这能借着上帝的恩典成为其果实。’ – 约翰·莫雷教授(Professor John Murray)

    FROM the time of its foundation it has been the habit of the professors of Princeton Theological Seminary to meet the students every Sabbath afternoon, for prayer and conference on themes relating to the life of God in the soul, and to the practical duties having their root therein.
    自从普林斯顿神学院成立以来,教授们有一个习惯,就是在每个安息日(Sabbath)下午与学生见面,为着与灵魂中上帝的生命以及根植于此的实践性责任相关的主题进行祷告和座谈(conference)。

    The members of all the successive classes will bear testimony to the unique character and singular preciousness of these Sabbath afternoon Conferences in that sacred old Oratory, whose walls are still eloquent to them with imperishable associations.
    历届班级的成员都会见证在那个神圣的古老祈祷室(Oratory)里,安息日下午座谈的独特品格和无比宝贵之处,那里的墙壁至今仍以不朽的联想向他们雄辩地述说着。

    Here the venerable professors appeared rather as friends and pastors than as instructors.
    在这里,这些可敬的教授们更像是朋友和牧师,而不是导师。

    The dry and cold attributes of scientific theology, moving in the sphere of the intellect gave place to the warmth of personal religious experience, and to the spiritual light of divinely illuminated intuition.
    在理智领域运作的科学神学的枯燥和冰冷特质,让位于个人宗教经验的温暖,以及神圣光照的直觉(intuition)所带来的属灵亮光。

    Here in the most effective manner did these teachers of teachers set the crown upon their work, and herein they exerted by far, their most widely extended and permanent influence.
    正是在这里,这些教师们的教师以最有效的方式为他们的工作加冕,并在此 exert 了他们最广泛且持久的影响力。

    Here they sought rather to build up Christian men, than to form accomplished scholars, and to infuse into their pupils the highest motives, and to instruct them in the wisest methods for their future work of saving souls and of edifying the Church of Christ.
    在这里,他们更寻求建立基督徒的人格,而不是培养有成就的学者,并将最高的动机注入他们的学生心中,指导他们采用最明智的方法,为他们未来拯救灵魂和造就基督教会的工作做准备。

    He habitually thought with his pen in his hand.
    祂习惯于手持笔进行思考。

    He prepared an analysis of his subject before he wrote his sermons.
    在写讲道稿之前,祂会准备主题的分析。

    He did the same before writing his theological lectures, or the several divisions of his Systematic Theology.
    在写祂的神学讲义,或祂《系统神学》的各个部分之前,祂也这样做。

    He also made a written analysis of every important book he read, especially if it presented views of truth antagonistic to his own.
    祂也对读过的每一本重要书籍进行书面分析,特别是如果它提出了与祂自己的观点相抵触的真理见解。

    A volume of these papers is now published, not only because they will afford a reminiscence of past sacred scenes, grateful to his surviving pupils, but chiefly because it is believed that in their present form they will be widely useful.
    现在出版这些文稿的合集,不仅因为它们将为祂在世的学生提供对过去神圣场景的追忆,使他们感到欣慰,更主要的是因为相信它们以目前的形式将会有广泛的益处。

    Although the brain and heart, which through the beaming countenance and tremulous voice, infused these skeletons with life, are absent, they yet remain in themselves very remarkable examples of that analysis, that logical grouping and perspicuous exhibition of truth which is an essential faculty of the effective preacher.
    虽然那个曾通过容光焕发的面容和颤抖的声音,赋予这些骨架(skeletons,指大纲)生命的头脑和心已不在了,但它们本身仍然是分析、逻辑分组和清晰展示真理的非常杰出的范例,而这些都是有效传道人必不可少的能力。

    They present in this analytic form an amount and quality of homiletical example and suggestion probably not surpassed in the same number of pages in the English language.
    它们以这种分析的形式所呈现的讲道学范例和建议的数量和质量,在同等页数的英语出版物中可能无出其右。

    As an effective exhibition of the great principle that all genuine religious experience is only the realization in experience of Christian doctrine, and that all true doctrine does immediately go out into the practical issues of the inward and outward life, this volume is eminently fitted to vindicate and supplement the three volumes of Systematic Theology, which were the last work of the author’s life.
    作为对“所有真实的宗教经验都只是在经验中实现基督教教义,而所有真实的教义都立即导向内在和外在生活的实际问题”这一伟大原则的有效展示,本书非常适合为作者生命中最后一部著作——三卷本的《系统神学》——辩护并进行补充。
