Duties of Christian Fellowship: Modernized and Adapted for the Heart and Life of Today’s Believer is a timeless guide to what it truly means to belong to a local church—not merely as a name on a roll, but as a living, loving member of Christ’s body. 《基督徒团契的责任：为今日信徒的内心和生活现代化改编》是一本永恒的指南，讲述真正属于一间地方教会意味着什么——不仅仅是名册上的一个名字，而是作为基督身体的一个活泼、有爱心的肢体。
In this warm and wise work, the great Puritan pastor-theologian John Owen lays out a vision of Christian community grounded in Scripture and overflowing with practical grace. 在这部温暖而智慧的作品中，伟大的清教徒牧者神学家约翰·欧文（John Owen）展现了一个扎根于圣经并洋溢着实践恩典的基督徒群体的异象。
Rich in biblical insight yet wonderfully concise, this short book distills the responsibilities of church membership into clear and compelling principles that are as relevant today as when they were first penned. 这本短小的书籍富含圣经洞见却又极为简洁，它将教会成员的责任提炼成清晰而有力的原则，这些原则在今天与最初写成时一样具有相关性。
This modernized edition has been gently updated to make Owen’s teaching more accessible to today’s readers. 这个现代化版本已被温和地更新，使欧文的教导对今日读者更易理解。
Archaic language has been refreshed, while the theological substance and scriptural fidelity have been carefully preserved. 古旧的语言已被更新，而神学实质和圣经忠实性已被小心地保留。
Following each section, brief pastoral reflections encourage heartfelt application and spiritual growth, making the book as devotional as it is doctrinal. 在每个部分之后，简短的牧养反思鼓励真诚的应用和属灵成长，使这本书既具有灵修性又具有教义性。
Whether used in personal reading, group study, or church membership training, Duties of Christian Fellowship is a gift to the whole church. 无论是用于个人阅读、小组学习，还是教会会籍培训，《基督徒团契的责任》都是对整个教会的一份礼物。
The book is divided into two parts. 本书分为两部分。
Part I addresses the believer’s responsibilities toward their pastors, outlining how members can honor, support, and walk alongside those called to shepherd them. 第一部分论述信徒对他们牧者的责任，概述会众如何能够尊荣、支持并与那些蒙召牧养他们的人同行。
Part II focuses on how members are to live with one another in the fellowship of the church, offering wise counsel on everything from love, forgiveness, and unity, to generosity, holiness, and mutual accountability. 第二部分聚焦于会众如何在教会的团契中彼此相处，就从爱心、饶恕和合一，到慷慨、圣洁和彼此问责的各个方面提供智慧的劝勉。
Owen’s aim is not just to instruct the mind but to stir the heart—to help believers walk worthy of their calling together, for the glory of Christ and the good of the church. 欧文的目标不仅是教导头脑，而且是激动心灵——帮助信徒一起行事为人与他们的蒙召相称，为了基督的荣耀和教会的益处。
This edition is ideal for new believers, high school and college students, small groups, or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of biblical community. 这个版本非常适合初信者、高中生和大学生、小组，或任何寻求对圣经群体有更深理解的人。
It provides a beautiful balance of theology and practice, truth and love, doctrine and devotion. 它提供了神学与实践、真理与爱心、教义与敬虔之间的美好平衡。
The original unabridged version of Duties of Christian Fellowship is also available for those who wish to read Owen’s work in his own words. 《基督徒团契的责任》原版未删节版本也可供那些希望用欧文自己的话语阅读他作品的人使用。
