Initially published in the 1600s, this work remains a treasure for its deep pastoral sensitivity and scriptural insight into the nature of regeneration and the believer’s experience of grace.
最初于1600年代出版，这部作品因其深刻的牧养敏感性和对重生本质及信徒恩典经历的圣经洞察而至今仍是珍宝。
The book unfolds across three parts: the first lays a foundation of understanding the human conscience and the biblical concept of regeneration; the second addresses the believers’ doubts and struggles with sin through the lens of God’s redemptive promises; and the third exhorts believers to caution against common spiritual pitfalls and to diligently pursue sanctification.
本书展开为三个部分：第一部分为理解人的良心和圣经中重生概念奠定基础；第二部分通过上帝救赎应许的视角处理信徒的疑惑和与罪的争战；第三部分劝勉信徒谨防常见的属灵陷阱，并殷勤追求成圣。
Dickson’s discourse on the three divine covenants—Redemption, Works, and Grace—serves as the backbone of his argument, illustrating how these eternal agreements provide a framework for understanding God’s relationship with humanity.
迪克逊对三个神圣之约——救赎之约、行为之约和恩典之约——的论述构成了他论证的骨架，说明这些永恒的协定如何为理解上帝与人类的关系提供框架。
Dickson particularly emphasizes the Covenant of Redemption, a pre-temporal agreement within the Trinity to save a chosen people, showing its central role in the stability and assurance of the believer’s faith.
迪克逊特别强调救赎之约，这是三一上帝内部在时间之前为拯救选民而立的协定，显明其在信徒信心的稳固性和确据中的核心作用。
By understanding these covenants, Christians gain a firmer grasp of their eternal security and the robustness of God’s promises.
通过理解这些约，基督徒对他们的永恒保障和上帝应许的可靠性获得更坚固的把握。
This work is meticulously crafted to address the tender consciences of troubled saints, applying scriptural balm to soothe and restore.
这部作品精心设计来处理受困圣徒的敏感良心，施用圣经的香膏来安慰和恢复。
Dickson combines rigorous theology with a pastor’s heart, making “Therapeutica Sacra” a vital resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of God’s sovereign grace and its implications for personal holiness and comfort.
迪克逊将严谨的神学与牧者的心肠结合，使《神圣医治学》成为任何寻求加深对上帝主权恩典及其对个人圣洁和安慰意义之理解的人的重要资源。
This book is particularly suited for those wrestling with doubts about their salvation, seeking assurance in the face of spiritual despondency, or desiring a deeper theological grounding in the works of a prominent Reformation theologian.
这本书特别适合那些为救恩疑惑而挣扎、在属灵沮丧面前寻求确据、或渴望在一位杰出改教神学家作品中获得更深神学根基的人。
