William Gearing’s The Arraignment of Ignorance is a bold and unrelenting indictment against one of the greatest spiritual plagues of any generation—willful ignorance of God and His truth. 威廉·吉尔林(William Gearing)的《无知的审判》(The Arraignment of Ignorance)是对任何世代最大的属灵瘟疫之一——对神和祂真理的故意无知——的一个大胆而不留情面的控诉。

Drawing from Hosea 4:6—”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”—Gearing lays bare the disastrous effects of neglecting divine wisdom, exposing ignorance as the root of spiritual decay, moral corruption, and eternal ruin. 吉尔林引用何西阿书4:6——”我的民因无知而灭亡”——揭露了忽视神圣智慧的灾难性后果,将无知暴露为属灵衰败、道德败坏和永恒毁灭的根源。

With the sharpness of a prosecutor presenting an airtight case, he demonstrates that ignorance is not a neutral or innocent condition but an active rejection of God’s revelation, leading to idolatry, false worship, and rebellion against divine authority. 他以检察官呈现无懈可击案件的锐利,证明无知不是一种中性或无辜的状态,而是对神启示的主动拒绝,导致偶像崇拜、虚假敬拜和对神圣权柄的悖逆。

This is not a book for the complacent—it is a call to spiritual urgency, warning that those who remain ignorant of God’s truth do so at their own peril. 这不是一本给自满者的书——它是对属灵紧迫性的呼召,警告那些仍然对神的真理无知的人,这样做是在自取灭亡。

What makes The Arraignment of Ignorance particularly compelling is Gearing’s passionate plea for Christians to engage with Scripture and cultivate a deep understanding of God. 使《无知的审判》特别引人注目的是吉尔林对基督徒的热切恳求,要他们与圣经互动并培养对神的深刻认识。

He draws heavily from church history, the writings of the Reformers, and the witness of Scripture to show that previous generations of believers prized the knowledge of God, while many today remain content with spiritual blindness. 他大量引用教会历史、改教家的著作和圣经的见证,以表明前几代信徒珍视对神的认识,而今天许多人却满足于属灵的瞎眼。

He does not merely diagnose the disease—he prescribes the cure, urging ministers to faithfully preach and catechize, parents to train their children in biblical truth, and individuals to pursue a personal knowledge of Christ. 他不仅诊断疾病——他还开出治疗方法,敦促牧师忠实地传道和教导教理问答,敦促父母在圣经真理中训练他们的儿女,敦促个人追求对基督的个人认识。

This book is a wake-up call to all who would rather remain ignorant than engage in the serious work of knowing God. 这本书是对所有宁愿保持无知也不愿从事认识神这一严肃工作之人的警钟。

If you are weary of shallow Christianity and desire a book that will shake you out of spiritual complacency, The Arraignment of Ignorance is a must-read. 如果你厌倦了肤浅的基督教信仰,并渴望一本能将你从属灵自满中摇醒的书,《无知的审判》是必读之作。

About the Author: 关于作者:

William Gearing was a 17th-century Puritan preacher known for his fiery sermons and unyielding commitment to biblical truth. 威廉·吉尔林是一位17世纪的清教徒传道人,以其火热的讲道和对圣经真理的坚定委身而闻名。
