Biblical Doctrine, Plainly Stated
《圣经教义，明白陈述》
This book is a brief and simple introduction to many areas of theology.
本书是对神学诸多领域的一本简明而浅显的入门书。
William Plumer brings the reader through many different topics like the Word of God, the attributes of God, Christ, repentance, justification and sanctification, along with many others.
威廉·普卢默（William Plumer）带领读者探讨许多不同的主题，如神的圣言、神的属性、基督、悔改、称义与成圣，以及其他许多方面。
I. The word THEOLOGY means a discourse concerning God.
一、THEOLOGY（神学）一词的意思是关于神的论述。
The word itself is not found in the Scriptures.
这个词本身并未出现在圣经中。
We have there “the word of God,” “good doctrine,” “sound doctrine,” “form of doctrine,” “doctrine of God,” “doctrine of Christ,” “form of sound words,” “the Scriptures,” and such like phrases.
在那里我们可以看到“神的圣言”、“善道”、“纯正的道理”、“道理的规模”、“神的道理”、“基督的道理”、“纯正话语的规模”、“圣经”等类似的说法。
Theology is divinity, as a theologian is a divine.
神学（Theology）就是神学之道（divinity），正如神学家（theologian）就是神学家或神学之士（divine）。
Theology treats of the being and perfections of God, of his relations to us, his purposes towards us, his promises made to us, his will concerning us, and the right way of pleasing him.
神学论及神的本体和完全，论及祂与我们的关系、祂向着我们的旨意、祂赐给我们的应许、祂关于我们的旨意，以及讨祂喜悦的正确道路。
II. We cannot learn theology from other sources, than those which God himself opens to our minds.
二、我们不能从神亲自向我们心思开启之外的其他来源学习神学。
These are the volume of nature and the volume of revelation.
这些来源就是自然之书和启示之书。
The volume of nature is made up of all God’s works.
自然之书由神一切的作为所构成。
What we learn from it is called Natural Theology.
我们从其中所学到的，被称为自然神学（Natural Theology）。
In studying God’s works we make use of our reason and of all true science, searching out all that we may know.
在研究神的作为时，我们运用理性和一切真实的科学，探求我们所能知道的一切。
Natural Theology is the foundation of all true religion.
自然神学是一切真实宗教的根基。
David says, “The heavens tell of the glory of God.
大卫说：“诸天述说神的荣耀。
The skies display his marvelous craftsmanship.
穹苍传扬祂奇妙的作为。
Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.
这日到那日发出言语；这夜到那夜传出知识。
They speak without a sound or a word; their voice is silent in the skies;
无言无语，也无声音可听；
yet their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to all the world.”
但它们的量带通遍天下，它们的言语传到地极。”
Psalm 19:1-4.
诗篇十九篇一至四节。
Paul says, “since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
保罗说：“神的事情，人所能知道的，原显明在人心里，因为神已经给他们显明。
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen,
自从造天地以来，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，
being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
虽是眼不能见，但借着所造之物就可以晓得，叫人无可推诿。”
Romans 1:19-20.
罗马书一章十九至二十节。
The Psalmist says, “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.”
诗人说：“耶和华的作为本为大，凡喜爱的都必考察。”
Psalms 111:2.
诗篇一百一十一篇二节。
Many parts of Scripture say a great deal about God’s works of creation and providence.
圣经中有许多地方大量论及神创造的作为和祂的护理（providence）。
III. The other volume from which we learn theology is the Bible.
三、我们学习神学的另一部书卷就是《圣经》。
This is the very word of God.
这正是神的圣言。
1 Thess. 2:13.
帖撒罗尼迦前书二章十三节。
It is the word of the living God, that abides forever.
这是永生神的道，存到永远。
1 Pet. 1:23.
彼得前书一章二十三节。
In this volume God makes himself known to us in a new and special manner for our salvation.
在这部书中，神以一种新的、特殊的方式向我们显明祂自己，为要使我们得救。
It draws out at length many of the lessons of natural theology,
它详细阐明了自然神学中的许多教训，
and tells us very clearly many things which nature taught us but dimly.
并且极其清楚地告诉我们许多自然只能模糊教导我们的事情。
Its peculiar glory is that it teaches the way of salvation to sinners.
它独特的荣耀在于，它教导罪人得救的道路。
What we thus learn is called Revealed Theology.
我们如此所学习到的，被称为启示神学（Revealed Theology）。
