In “The Living Temple,” John Howe explores the essence, purpose, and practice of Christian spirituality, casting a critical eye on the superficial disputes and empty rituals that have often marred its image.
在《活的圣殿》(”The Living Temple”)中,约翰·豪(John Howe)探索了基督教灵性(Christian spirituality)的本质、目的和实践,并批判性地审视了那些经常损害其形象的肤浅争论和空洞仪式。
With a blend of poignant analysis and illustrative analogies, Howe underscores the significance of the genuine values of the faith—tranquility, pleasure, and spiritual refinement.
豪结合了深刻的分析和启发性的类比,强调了信仰真正价值的重要性——宁静、喜悦和属灵的精炼。
He paints a vivid picture of our union with Christ not just as a means to appease an omnipotent deity but as a transformative life journey that brings individuals closer to God, purifying their spirits and cultivating genuine love.
祂生动地描绘了我们与基督的联合,它不仅仅是安抚一位全能神祇(omnipotent deity)的手段,而是一个带来个体更接近上帝、洁净他们的灵并培养真爱(genuine love)的转化性生命旅程。
Throughout the book, Howe sheds light on the historical misinterpretations of religion, from fear-driven sacrifices to the quest for divine favor without personal transformation.
在整本书中,豪阐明了对宗教的历史误解,从恐惧驱动的献祭到寻求神圣恩典(divine favor)却缺乏个人转变的行为。
He challenges the reader to rise above the title-bound religiosity that has plagued many, urging them to embody the true essence of religion as vessels fit for God.
他挑战读者超越困扰许多人的受限于名号的宗教性,敦促他们体现宗教的真正精髓,成为适合上帝的器皿(vessels)。
Drawing on the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ, “The Living Temple” is both a critique of hollow religious practices and a clarion call for a sincere, transformative relationship with the Triune God.
借鉴耶稣基督福音的教导,《活的圣殿》既是对空洞宗教实践的批判,也是对与三一上帝(Triune God)建立真诚、转化性关系的号召。
Through Howe’s enlightening prose, readers are beckoned to become living temples, where truth and holiness coexist.
通过豪的启发性散文,读者被召唤成为活的圣殿,在那里真理和圣洁并存。
A must-read for those seeking to understand the true purpose of religion and yearning for a genuine communion with our LORD.
对于那些寻求理解宗教真正目的并渴望与我们的主(LORD)进行真诚相交的人来说,这是一本必读之作。
