“The Three Forms of Unity” is an essential compilation that brings together the three foundational confessional documents that have shaped Reformed theology for centuries.

“三项联合信条”是一部重要的汇编,汇集了几个世纪以来塑造改革宗神学的三份基础性信仰告白文献。

This collection includes the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort—each a cornerstone in the establishment and articulation of Reformed Christian doctrine.

这个合集包括比利时信条、海德堡要理问答和多特信经——每一份都是确立和阐明改革宗基督教教义的基石。

The Belgic Confession (1561), penned by Guido de Brès, offers a robust outline of Reformed theology, emphasizing the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Scriptures, and the necessity of grace for salvation.

比利时信条(1561年),由圭多·德布雷撰写,提供了改革宗神学的有力纲要,强调神的主权、圣经的权威以及恩典对救恩的必要性。

Crafted during a time of intense religious persecution, it serves as a profound declaration of faith and a call for religious tolerance.

该信条起草于激烈宗教迫害的时期,它作为一份深刻的信仰宣言和对宗教宽容的呼吁。

The Heidelberg Catechism (1563), composed by Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus, is cherished for its pastoral warmth and clarity.

海德堡要理问答(1563年),由撒迦利亚·乌尔西努和加斯帕·俄利维安努撰写,因其牧养的温暖和清晰而受到珍视。

Structured as a series of questions and answers, this catechism explores the depths of human sin, the comfort found in Christ, and the gratitude due to God for such deliverance.

该要理问答以一系列问答的形式组织,探讨了人类罪恶的深度、在基督里所找到的安慰,以及对神如此拯救所当有的感恩。

It remains a pivotal tool for teaching the central truths of the Christian faith, addressing themes of guilt, grace, and gratitude.

它仍然是教导基督教信仰核心真理的关键工具,涉及罪疚、恩典和感恩的主题。

The Canons of Dort (1618-1619) arise from the Synod of Dort’s response to the controversies of Arminianism, articulating the Reformed perspective on issues such as predestination and the extent of Christ’s atonement.

多特信经(1618-1619年)源于多特会议对阿民念主义争议的回应,阐明了改革宗在预定论和基督赎罪范围等问题上的观点。

These canons underscore the doctrines of unconditional election, limited atonement, and persevering grace, affirming the sufficiency of Christ’s work for His people.

这些信条强调无条件拣选、有限赎罪和恒久恩典的教义,确认基督为祂子民所作之工的充足性。

Together, these texts not only unify the doctrinal teachings within Reformed churches but also offer profound insights into the nature of God, the work of Christ, and the operation of faith.

这些文本一起,不仅统一了改革宗教会内的教义教导,而且对神的本性、基督的工作和信心的运作提供了深刻的洞见。

It signifies the unified stance of these churches on key theological issues, particularly in response to challenges both from within and outside the Reformed community.

The “unity” emphasizes a collective affirmation and adherence to core Reformed doctrines, serving as a basis for ecumenical relations and mutual recognition among Reformed denominations.

“联合”强调对核心改革宗教义的集体确认和坚守,作为改革宗宗派之间大公关系和相互承认的基础。

These documents not only unify the doctrinal teachings within individual congregations and between different churches but also articulate a cohesive theological stance against opposing views, providing a clear standard of what constitutes Reformed orthodoxy.

这些文献不仅统一了个别会众内部和不同教会之间的教义教导,而且针对反对观点阐明了一致的神学立场,提供了构成改革宗正统的明确标准。
