This new edition has been gently updated for readability, preserving John Owen’s original language and theological richness while making minor adjustments to spelling, grammar, and clarity. 这个新版本为了可读性已经被温和地更新，保留了约翰·欧文的原始语言和神学丰富性，同时对拼写、语法和清晰度做了微小调整。
In this timeless collection of pastoral discourses, John Owen, the prince of Puritan theologians, brings the penetrating light of Scripture to bear on the inner life of believers living in times of judgment, temptation, and spiritual decline. 在这部永恒的牧养论述合集中，约翰·欧文，清教徒神学家中的翘楚，将圣经穿透性的光照射在生活于审判、试探和属灵衰退时代的信徒内在生命上。
Originally delivered as a series of practical questions and meditations, Searching Our Hearts in Perilous Times remains strikingly relevant in every age marked by moral confusion and ecclesiastical compromise. 《在危险时代省察我们的心》（Searching Our Hearts in Perilous Times）最初作为一系列实践性问题和默想发表，在每个以道德混乱和教会妥协为标志的时代都依然惊人地切合。
With profound care for the soul, Owen guides readers through pressing spiritual concerns: 带着对灵魂的深切关怀，欧文引导读者经历迫切的属灵关切：
What must a sinner experience before truly turning to Christ? 一个罪人在真正归向基督之前必须经历什么？
How can we discern the reality of our conversion? 我们如何辨别我们归信的真实性？
What is our duty when grace decays or when sin appears to prevail? 当恩典衰退或当罪似乎得胜时，我们的本分是什么？
How should we live by faith when providence is dark and trials abound? 当护理晦暗、试炼众多时，我们应该如何凭信心生活？
These discourses do not merely inform; they examine, comfort, and awaken. 这些论述不仅仅是告知；它们省察、安慰和唤醒。
Owen explores the subtle workings of the conscience, the strength of besetting sins, and the gracious operations of faith in seasons of spiritual famine. 欧文探讨良心微妙的运作、缠累人之罪的力量、以及信心在属灵饥荒季节中恩慈的运行。
His pastoral insights are deeply experiential, shaped by personal trials and a lifetime of meditating on Christ. 他的牧养洞见是深刻经历性的，由个人试炼和一生默想基督所塑造。
For those hungering after holiness in a time of peril, Owen’s words offer both diagnosis and remedy. 对于那些在危险时期渴慕圣洁的人，欧文的话语提供诊断和救治。
He calls the Church not merely to survive under trial but to thrive in communion with Christ by the power of faith. 他呼召教会不仅仅在试炼中存活，而是藉信心的能力在与基督的相交中兴旺。
“Faith discerns God in the dark, hears Him in silence, and trusts Him amid the shaking of all things.” “信心在黑暗中辨识神，在静默中听见祂，并在万物震动中信靠祂。”
Ideal for devotional reading, small group study, or serious theological reflection, this work remains a vital companion for Christians who long to be faithful in troubled times. 对于灵修阅读、小组学习或严肃的神学反思来说都是理想之选，这部作品对于渴望在动荡时代忠心的基督徒而言，仍然是一个重要的伴侣。
