In an age when the sovereignty of Christ is too often reduced to a private sentiment or confined to the inner walls of the church, William Symington’s Messiah the Prince sounds forth like a trumpet blast from Zion.
在一个基督的主权常常被缩减为个人情感、或被局限在教会内墙之中的时代，威廉·西明顿（William Symington）的《弥赛亚君王》（Messiah the Prince）如同从锡安发出的号角之声，震撼人心。
First published in 1839, this theological classic remains a timely and powerful exposition of the mediatorial dominion of Jesus Christ—His reign not only over the Church, but over the State, the conscience, and all creation.
本书最初出版于1839年，这部神学经典至今仍是一部切中时弊、极具能力的论述，阐明耶稣基督作为中保（mediatorial）之统治——祂的王权不仅临到教会，也临到国家、良心，以及一切受造之物。
Symington stands in the stream of Scottish covenantal theology and brings to bear the full weight of Scripture to answer a vital question: What does it mean for Christ to reign as King?
西明顿立足于苏格兰圣约神学（Scottish covenantal theology）的传统之中，运用全部圣经的权威来回答一个至关重要的问题：基督作王意味着什么？
With remarkable pastoral warmth and academic precision, Symington unfolds how Christ exercises His kingly office in harmony with His roles as Prophet and Priest—never separated, never diminished.
西明顿以非凡的牧者温情与严谨的学术精确性，展开论述基督如何在先知与祭司职分的和谐之中行使祂的君王职分——从不分离，也从不削弱。
This is not an abstract study in political theory, but a deeply practical and worshipful meditation on the Savior’s royal authority.
这并非一项抽象的政治理论研究，而是对救主君王权柄的一次极其实际、充满敬拜意味的默想。
The reader is invited to consider the necessity, reality, and spirituality of Christ’s dominion, followed by profound reflections on His governance over the Church, over the nations, and for all eternity.
读者被邀请来思想基督国度的必要性、真实性与属灵性，继而深入反思祂对教会的治理、对列国的治理，以及直到永恒的统治。
What sets this work apart is its breadth and balance.
本书之所以卓然不同，在于其广度与平衡。
It is both doctrinal and devotional, polemical and pastoral.
它既是教义性的，又是灵修性的；既具有论战性，又充满牧养关怀。
Symington is unafraid to challenge both ecclesiastical and civil powers that resist Christ’s reign,
西明顿毫不畏惧地挑战那些抗拒基督统治的教会权力与世俗政权，
yet he writes not as a political agitator, but as a humble herald of the King of kings.
但他写作时并非作为政治煽动者，而是作为万王之王谦卑的宣告者。
Every page urges the believer to submit joyfully to the Savior’s gracious rule and to labor for the advance of His unshakable kingdom.
书中的每一页都催促信徒喜乐地顺服救主恩慈的统治，并为祂那不可动摇的国度推进而劳力。
Messiah the Prince is essential reading for pastors, theologians, and serious Christians who long to recover a full-orbed view of Christ’s Lordship—one that does not stop at the church door, but claims every square inch of human existence.
《弥赛亚君王》是牧者、神学家以及渴望恢复对基督主权之全面认识的严肃基督徒不可或缺的读物——这种认识并不停留在教会门口，而是宣告人类存在的每一寸领域都归属于基督。
Here is a book that will deepen your awe of Christ, expand your vision of His glory, and rekindle your hope in the triumph of His kingdom.
这是一部能加深你对基督的敬畏、拓展你对祂荣耀的异象，并重新点燃你对祂国度得胜之盼望的书。
