神學生必讀書目
A CLASSIC SEMINARY BOOK LIST
建立一個基督徒的神學基礎須要一生的努力。有一部分人藉著進神學院進修
達到這目的﹔可是有很多人沒有這個機會。不幸的是﹐很多神學院畢業聖賓沒有為
自己的神學(信仰)打好根基﹔很多神學院在這方面失敗了。不過﹐你還是可以開始
這個旅程﹐為自己設計一個對事奉有幫助的神學課程。這須要你犧牲時間﹐和長期
的努力。可是這是值得的投資﹐給你信仰和事奉建立穩固的基礎。
Building one’s own theological foundation is a life time task. It may involve
going to seminary, or it may not. Sadly, very often a seminary degree does not mean a
solid foundation in Bible doctrine. However you can launch out on your own seminary
education. It will involve effort and sacrifice of time. But it is most rewarding, and most
importantly, it strengthens your faith and your ministry.
我們先要處理一個錯誤的觀念﹐就是﹐很多人只喜歡看新書﹐買新書﹐尤其
是罪暢銷的書。事實上﹐新出版的書不一定比古舊的書好﹐不一定經得起時間的考
驗﹐不一定最有智慧。史托特曾經勸告神學生們﹐要從舊書中尋找智慧。巴刻同樣
地告訴我們﹐要從最經得起歷史考驗的智慧泉源吸取心靈的營養。初步入門的﹐要
好好聽勸﹗
New books are not always better than old books. John Stott (史托特) and J.I.
Packer (巴刻) advise the reader to drink from the foundations of ripe, mature theology
handed down through the centuries. Let the beginner take heed!
一個完備而合乎<<聖經>>的信仰 系統是一個整體﹐可以從不同地方入手。
你可以先好好的細讀<<聖經>>的書卷﹔或者﹐從學習系統神學開始。你可以先用
一些好的參考書來幫助你準備主日學或查經辦﹐如譯本有份量的聖經辭典。或者﹐
你可以跟著譯本聖經入門 (聖經綜覽) 和一本聖經教科書來讀經。
You can begin at a number of points, since a theological system is a
comprehensive whole made up of many parts. You may start with a serious study of each
book of the Bible; or by studying systematic theology. You may begin by using
reference works (e.g. theological dictionaries) to supplement your preparation for Sunday
School classes and Bible studies; or you may choose to follow a Bible survey or a Bible
textbook.
BIBLE VERSIONS AND STUDY BIBLES 聖經版本﹐研讀版聖經
一個有益的讀經生活﹐是建立扎實的信仰根基的起點。
Christians need to make the most out of their personal devotions. Building a
theological foundation can begin here!
目前英語世界的基督徒﹐很多愛用<<新國際版聖經>>﹐不過這裡面不無問
題。將來出版的<<新國際版聖經>>﹐可能採用女權主義的詞彙 (英文稱為 inclusive
language) 。我個人已經從<<新國際版>>改回用<<新美國標準版>> ( NASB)﹔ 後者
3
可能沒有<<新國際版>>那麼流暢﹐可是卻對原為的字句更忠實。不妨到附近的基
督教書店逛一逛﹐有時可以買到很便宜的<<新美國標準版>>
(美金六塊就可以買到) 。可以為你的主日學的學生購買﹐讓人手一冊﹗
Although most Christians are now using The New International Version (NIV﹐
新國際版) of the Bible, there are problems. A British edition of the NIV has been
published, using “inclusive language.” I have recently switched back to the New
American Standard Bible (NASB). It may not read as smoothly as the NIV, but it is
more accurate to the original words of Scripture. If you shop carefully at your local
Christian bookstore, there may be a very inexpensive version of the NASB (as low as US
$6), which you may buy for your entire Sunday School class/Bible study group. Recently
the English Standard Version (ESV) has gained the support of a good number of Biblebelieving Christians. It is almost as readable as NIV, and as faithful to the original as the
NASB.
中文讀者除了<<和合本聖經>>(1919) 以外﹐可以考慮<<中文新譯本>> ﹔翻
譯原則有一點像<<新美國標準版>>。<<中文新譯本>>與<<現代中文譯本>>是兩本
不同的<<聖經>>。後者是意譯的﹐採用的原則與英文的Good News Bible 相似。
For Chinese readers, I recommend both the Union Version (和合本) and the
newer New Chinese Bible (Zhong wen xin yi ben中文新譯本), which is somewhat
patterned after The NASB. Do not confuse the New Chinese Bible (a translation) with
Xian dai zhong wen yi ben 現代中文譯本, which is the Chinese version of The Good
New Bible (only a paraphrase).
可以用英文讀<<聖經>>者應考慮用<<宗教改革聖經>> (以前稱<<新日內瓦
聖經>>)。這本研讀本<<聖經>>提供不少的解釋與專文﹐以十六世紀的宗教改革運
動的精神﹐幫助讀者建立扎實的信仰根基。我個人認為﹐這本<<聖經>>可以與靈
修聖經一起並用﹐必定有很大的收穫。
A solid tool to accompany your Bible study is The Reformation Bible (former
name: The New Geneva Study Bible, Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson / Foundation for
Reformation, 1995; you can order from Ligonier Ministries, P.O. Box 547500 Orlando
FL 32854; 407 333 4244 or 800 435 4343; Fax 407 333 4233). The notes and the
special articles all seek to build a solid theological foundation from the historic, 16th
century Reformational perspective. If we complement this with the Life Application
Bible (Tyndale and Zondervan, 1988), we will have two tools to build solid, practical
Bible studies and sermons.
中文聖經中﹐<<聖經﹕新國際版研讀本>>是最佳的選擇﹐更新傳道會出版
。有足夠的學術水準﹐同時實際的幫助讀者明白經文的意義。與其他幫助基督徒靈
修的聖經是有不同。
For Chinese readers, the NIV Study Bible published by Christian Renewal
Ministries (Sheng jing: xin guo ji ban yan du ben 聖經﹕新國際版研讀本, or The CRM
Study Bible, Milltown, NJ: Christian Renewal Ministries, 1996) is the most complete
study Bible. This Bible gives you background and guides you to understand the meaning
and content of the Bible.
4
另外一本是由早期的中國神學研究院講師編寫的﹕ <<聖經﹕串珠注釋
本>>(香港﹕證主﹐1987)。每一頁的下半頁都有查經的問題﹐讓讀者好好的回到經
文去找答案。(沒有答案﹐只有問題﹗)
Another helpful Chinese tool is the study Bible edited by China Graduate School
of Theology’s faculty: Sheng jing: chuan zhu zhu xi ben 聖經﹕ 串珠注釋本 [The Bible:
CGST Study Edition] (Hong Kong: Christian Communications Ltd., 1987). The bottom
half of every page is shaded in gray, and packed with thought-provoking questions (no
answers, just questions!).
更新傳道會最近在出版<<靈修聖經>>﹐是讀經者的好消息﹔有很多實際的
應用提示。
Christian Renewal Ministries has recently published The Quest Bible in Chinese.
這裡介紹的聖經﹐都是幫助你在嚴謹研究聖經上的工具。市面上還有其他的
聖經﹐如<<當代聖經>>和<<現代中文譯本>>等。<<當代聖經>>英文版的譯者是泰
來博士﹐他翻譯聖經原來的目的﹐是為家裡孩子們在家庭靈修時用的。<<當代聖
經>>與<<現代中文譯本>>都是意譯的版本。
The ones I have listed are aimed at building one’s theological foundations.
There are other study Bibles for devotional use. For example, The Living Bible
(當代聖經)or its newer edition, The New Living Translation (Tyndale House), as well as
the very popular Good News Bible (American Bible Society), are paraphrases, not
translations. They are helpful for you to get a contemporary twist to the text, but do not
rely on them to give you the accurate meaning of the text. In fact, Dr. Kenneth Taylor
originally did The Living Bible translation to help his elementary-school age children to
understand the Bible.
福音派以外還有其他的版本﹐如美國教協(NCC) 的 RSV 和 NRSV。天主教
則出版 了<<耶路撒冷聖經>> (JB) 。
Non-evangelical translations, which can be scholarly, should be used for reference
only: e.g. The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV—National Council of Churches
USA); The New English Bible (Oxford University Press/Cambridge University Press);
The New Jerusalem Bible (Roman Catholic); and The New American Bible (Roman
Catholic).
<<新美國標準版>>出版之前﹐在歷史上有兩次重要的翻譯﹕1880 年代的
RV﹐ 與 1900 年代的上 ASV。近年來﹐英語世界出版了 <<宗教改革聖經>>
(原稱<<新日內瓦聖經>>) ﹐採用的是新鑒定版 (NKJV) ﹐ 英文比較古老﹐可是
一本信仰可靠的工具書。
Two older translations formed the background to the NASB, and are very solid
and reliable: The Revised Version (RV) of the 1880’s, and The American Standard
Version (ASV) of the 1900’s. The Reformation Bible is based on The New King James
Version (NKJV), which patterns itself after the King James Version of the 1610s –
archaic sounding, but quite good.
5
英文與中文讀者需要留意﹐異端也出版聖經﹐如李常受地方教會運動 (出
版社名水流職事站) 最近出版了<<恢復本聖經>>。耶和華見證人 (守望臺) 的聖
經名<<新世界翻譯本>> ( New World Translation ) ﹐這些翻譯本都屬正統基督教
範圍以外。
Both Chinese and English Bible readers should be aware that The Restoration
Bible (hui fu ban﹐ 恢復本) is published by The Living Stream Ministries (shui liu zhi
shi zhan 水流職事站), operated by the cult commonly known as The Local Church
Movement, begun by the late Witness Lee. Another cultic Bible is The New World
Translation, published by The Watchtower Society 守望臺 (Jehovah’s Witnesses
耶和華見證人). College students often receive a copy of the New Testament of this
translation on campuses.
BIBLE STUDY AIDS 查經技巧﹐材料
讓我們介紹一些能刺激你的思想﹐嚴謹研究聖經的工具書。
To help you in your Bible study, I would recommend works which stimulate your
thinking.
我認為查經工具書中對學生最有幫助的﹐是<<研經日課>> (三卷﹐ 香港﹕
證主﹐1972﹐1980﹐ 1982)。對每一段經文﹐都提出兩套問題。書中並不提供答案
﹗在查經書中﹐這可能是最難用的一本﹐可是值得花時間去使用。按照問題回到經
文去找答案﹐然後把答案寫出來﹐就差不多有一篇講章﹐或一課查經/主日學了﹗
The best tool is Search the Scriptures (London: Inter Varsity Press, 1949), which
has been translated into Chinese as Yan Jing Ri Ke 研經日課 (Hong Kong: Christian
Communications Ltd., 1972, 1980, 1982; 3 volumes). Two sets of questions are given
for every passage from Genesis to Revelation. No answers, just questions! This is
probably the most difficult book in its category, but well worth your diligent effort in
digging into the Word of God. When you have adequately and correctly answered the
two questions for every passage, you almost have a sermon/Bible study lesson ready!
另外一本﹐與<<研經日課>>一樣是寫給大學生讀經用的﹐就是清晨靜思主
話>> (香港﹕種籽﹐ 1976-1981﹐四卷)。每一段經文的研讀問題比較多﹐也比較
淺易。我的建議是﹕與<<研經日課>>一起用。
Another book in the same category is This Morning With God (IVP), and the
Chinese translation is Qing Chen Jing Si Zhu Hua (Hong Kong: Seed Press, 1976-1981; 4
volumes). There are a greater number of questions for each passage; and they are easier
to answer. I would use this book in conjunction with Search the Scriptures.
對不能找到上述兩套書的信徒們﹐導航會與 Inter Varsity Press 都出版了一
套套的查經書﹐可供個人靈修或查經小組用。我很喜歡導航會出版的 Lifechange
Series 那一套。好的查經書 (或小書) ﹐必定是指引讀者回到經文去找原意的。
6
For those who cannot get hold of either volume, The Navigators 導航會
(Navpress) as well as Inter Varsity Press have been producing series after series of Bible
study guides. I have particularly enjoyed using The “Lifechange Series” published by
Navpress. These are guides which points you to open the Bible and find the answers to
the study questions.
查經班的負責人和主日學教員常常自行編製教材﹐其實 “專家” 們花了多年
時間編好這麼多系列的查經材料﹐我們大可以採購使用。除了導航會﹐IVP以外﹐
校園﹐華神﹐香港基督徒學生福音團契﹐讀經會等都出版這類材料。
Very often Bible study group leaders and Sunday School teachers try to gather
many books and create their own lessons each week. This can be very unwise and
unproductive, since the “experts” have already done the homework, and produced solid
series of Bible study guides. My recommendation is to follow one book each quarter for
your Bible study group, such as the “Lifechange” series by Navpress, or any number of
paperback guides from Inter Varsity Press. Increasingly, similar sets of booklets are
available from Taiwan and Hong Kong, e.g. Campus Evangelical Fellowship, China
Evangelical Seminary.
選購查經材料時要注意﹐該書是否只鼓勵討論與分享﹖還是真正帶領讀者有
系統的進入經文尋找真理﹐找出查經問題的答案﹖一本好的查經書所提供的問題﹐
應該有一半以上是觀察方面和解釋方面的問題 (而不都是應用方面的問題)
﹐帶領讀者好好的探索經文。
One criterion to keep in mind, when you shop for Bible study guides in the
bookstore, is: Does this guide merely encourage group discussion? Does this guide
merely encourage people to open up themselves and talk about their experiences,
including hurts and pains? Or does this guide primarily point the group members to
explore the text of the Bible? Is there a balance between “observation” and
“interpretation” questions, on the one hand (which forces the reader to grapple with the
text), and “application” and “ice-breaker” questions, on the other (which brings the Bible
to our own situation)? A study guide which does not have a solid portion (at least half) of
study questions in the “observation” and “interpretation” category, may be wasting your
group members’ precious time.
HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE 釋經
For decades in the 20th century, T. Norton Sterrett’s How to Understand Your
Bible (Downers Grove, IL: Inter Varsity Press, 1974) was a standard evangelical text, for
Sunday School, Bible studies and Bible college classes. The Chinese translation is: Ru he
ming bai sheng jing <<如何明白聖經>> (Taipei: China Sunday School Association
台北﹕中國主日學協會). This book asks the student to use an English Bible and an
English dictionary to look up the meaning of words. It does not point the student to
Greek or Hebrew study aids. Thus, it is easy to use for the beginner. This book belongs
to the generation when evangelicals were not running to the non-evangelicals for
guidance, and when evangelicals really believed, and emphasized, the fact that the Bible
7
was inspired by the Holy Spirit. (With the advent of neo-evangelicalism, scholars are
shying away from emphasizing the doctrinal unity of Scripture, leaning toward
highlighting the historical progression and the variety of literary genres reflected in the
various books of the Bible. Newer books, such as the very popular How To Understand
The Bible For All Its Worth, by Gordon Fee and others <<讀經的藝術>>, conveniently
skips over the doctrine of inspiration, and immediately points the reader to the various
kinds of literature in the Bible – a dangerous move).
An older text on hermeneutics (the science of interpreting the Bible) is Louis
Berkhof’s Principles of Bilbical Interpretation (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans
釋經學原理 - 香港﹕浸信會出版社). More recent books on interpretation have been
written by R.C. Sproul and John Stott. Shorter works in Chinese include A. Stibbs’
Understanding God’s Word <<明白神的話>> (Milltown, NJ: Christian Renewal
Ministries, 1975). Bernard Ramm’s Protestant Bible Interpretation (Ji du jiao shi jing
xue 蘭姆﹐<<基督教釋經學>>) is less conservative, and more broadly appealing.
Though it sells better than Berkhof, I would still recommend the Sunday School teacher
to work through Berkhof, supplemented by Stott and Sproul’s paperbacks.
Dan Doriani’s Getting the Message (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed,
1996) is a fresh, dynamic approach to Bible interpretation which is faithful to the
inspiration and authority of Scripture, and in dialogue with contemporary theories of
interpretation. Doriani also balances concerns of the heart with those of the mind.
Consider using this along with Berkhof, Stott and Sproul!
BIBLE DICTIONARIES 聖經辭典
<<聖經新辭典>>﹐是我認為幫助基督徒查攷<<聖經>>的最重要工具書。當
你準備查經或主日學時﹐最好閱讀<<聖經新辭典>>裡對一些關鍵性的詞的解釋﹐
如﹕犧牲﹐聖典﹐教會﹐愛﹐公義﹐信心﹐稱義﹐默示等。另外﹐可以每天抽出一
點時間﹐讀一篇﹐實在能使你在對<<聖經>>認識的深度有所長進。
The one single volume which I think a Christian should purchase to supplement
his/her Bible is The New Bible Dictionary (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans; originally
published by Inter Varsity Press, 1962); Chinese translation: Sheng Jing Xin Ci Dian
<<聖經新辭典>> (2 volumes; Hong Kong: 天道Tien Dao, 1993, 1997). When you are
preparing for a Bible study lesson/sermon, look up the most significant (heavy) doctrinal
words in the dictionary, e.g.: sacrifice 犧牲, temple 聖殿, church 教會, love 愛,
righteousness 公義, faith 信心, justification 稱義, inspiration 默示, God 神, etc. Also,
read one article a day during a spare moment (before you go to bed!)! It will really
enrich your understanding of what God’s Word teaches.
<<聖經新辭典>>乃按1982第二版翻譯的﹐雖然昂貴﹐可是值得投資。應該
經常使用﹗最近香港的啟創 (Almega) 已出版光碟版本。
8
The Chinese version, based on the 1982 2nd edition, is expensive, but well worth
the investment. You need to learn to use it regularly! Fortunately, Almega (Hong Kong)
has now released this dictionary in CD-Rom format.
<<聖經新辭典>>的作者中穩重的有下列 “上一代” 的聖經學者與神學家﹕
The New Bible Dictionary lists all the contributing authors in the front of Volume
1. You can learn to identifythe author of each article. Here are some authors who are
solid and reliable, who have written significant articles on doctrinal themes in The New
Bible Dictionary:
Leon Morris 莫理昂 – Australian theologian
R. A. France 法蘭士– author of The Living God (Chinese: Ren shi yong sheng shen
著有﹕認識永生神﹐校園 Campus Evangelical Fellowship) and several other books
J. I. Packer 巴刻– wrote the article on “Inspiration” and many others; author of Knowing
God, God’s Words, Concise Theology<<簡明神學>> , Keep in Step with the Spirit
<<活在聖靈中>>, and The Quest for Godliness, etc.
F. F. Bruce 步魯士– New Testament scholar, for many years professor in Manchester,
England; author of The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? (IVP)
Donald Guthrie – Bible scholar, London Bible College; author of New Testament
Introduction, New Testament Theology.
John Murray 慕理– late professor, Westminster Seminary; his classic works include The
Imputation of Adam’s Sin (Presbyterian and Reformed); Redemption Accomplished and
Applied 著有﹕<<再思救贖奇恩 >> (Eerdmans); Commentary on Romans; and his 4volume Collected Works of John Murray (Banner of Truth Trust).
R. V. G. Tasker – British author of several commentaries.
J. A. Motyer – British author of several commentaries, esp. in the Tynddale OT/NT
commentaries series.
E. J. Young 楊以德 – late Old Testament professor, Westminster Seminary 威敏斯特已
故教授﹐保守派舊約大師; author of Thy Word Is Truth (still in print from Banner of
Truth); Studies in Genesis One; Thy Servants the Prophets; a 3-volume commentary on
Isaiah; etc. 中文有﹕<<舊約導論>> (基督教文藝出版社) 。
H. Ridderbos – Dutch Reformed New Testament theologian
J. B. Payne – former professor, Covenant Seminary and Wheaton College.
J. D. Douglas – Scottish church historian; for many years professor at Singapore Bible
College; the original general editor of The New Bibel Dictionary!
Meredith Kline – brilliant Old Testament scholar; former professor at Gordon Conwell
Theological Seminary and Westminster Seminary.
<<聖經新辭典>>好像一個宴席﹐讓你品嘗當代神學大師的著作。不過﹐有
時也會遇見一些作者在當代聖經[批判理論面前低頭的﹐如﹕說摩西五經是被擄後
才寫成的。所以讀的時候也須謹慎。
The New Bible Dictionary<< 聖經新辭典>> is an excellent “buffet table” where
you can try “nuggets” from the giants listed above. Once in a while, in some of the
9
articles authored by other scholars, one finds objectionable viewpoints, e.g. that parts of
the Five Books of Moses were written after the Exile, etc. Let the reader beware.
英文世界裡﹐<<聖經新辭典>>以好幾種形式出現。
Note: there are at least three English versions: the original New Bible Dictionary
(the cover may look different because of different printings); the Tyndale Illustrated
Bible Dictionary (3 volumes); and the New Bible Dictionary: Third Edition. I prefer the
first: it is the original, it is the cheapest, and since it is older, it is not as much affected by
contemporary theories of biblical criticism. The Tyndale edition is in 3 volumes, and
has many illustrations in color. The text is the same as the older version; only the
illustrations are new; and the price is rather high.
BIBLE COMMENTARIES 聖經注釋
聖經註釋﹐在準備講章和主日學教材時﹐可以給我們一些幫助﹐叫我們從大
處著想。
Commentaries are very useful in giving you balance, an overall view, and things
you may overlook in preparing sermons.
My favorite New Testament commentary series is William Hendriksen, The New
Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker); it was completed after Hendriksen’s
death by Dr. Simon Kistemaker of Reformed Theological Seminary. Hendriksen Kistemaker is expository and homiletical; that is, the commentary reads like a sermon.
There are many helpful outlines, and I Corinthians, in particular, was written by
Kistemaker who responded intelligently to contemporary debates, e.g. the place of
women in the ministry of the church.
中文聖經註釋裡﹐有<<聖經新釋>>單行本 (香港﹕證道﹐1958) 。
The single one-volume Bible commentary most available and most helpful is The
New Bible Commentary: Revised (Eerdmans, 1970; Chinese translation was based on
original version: The New Commentary, Inter Varsity, 1953; in Chinese: Sheng Jing Xin
Shi<< 聖經新釋>>, Hong Kong: Christian Witness Press 證道出版社, 1958). It is
compact, and does not intend to answer every theological question. But it is a helpful
overview of the content of the passage. Remember that this commentary has gone
through many editions, including the present 21st century edition. I prefer the older
editions, which have not been influenced by contemporary theories of biblical criticism.
Ripe, mature commentaries on the various books of the Bible have been written
by Puritans and other church leaders since the 17th century. They have been collected in
The Geneva Commentaries, published by Banner of Truth Trust. Also try the onevolume (abridged) Bible commentary by Matthew Henry, or his 6-volume set. It is
devotional, and solidly rooted in the Puritan quest to reverently understand God’s Word.
亨利馬太 (Matthew Henry) 的聖經註釋﹐是清教徒運動後期的作品﹐收集
10
了清教徒的智慧。
Matthew Henry’s commentaries: late Puritan author has gleaned from over 100
years of Puritan wisdom.
Campus Evangelical Fellowship in Taiwan 校園 has been translating and
publishing the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries and Tyndale New Testament
Commentaries series <<丁道爾聖經注釋>> (English original published by Inter Varsity
Press). They are very helpful. More recently written commentaries contain evangelical
scholar’s dialogue with, and use of, contemporary theories of Bible interpretation.
Some individual Bible commentaries are truly classics: the 3 volume commentary
on Isaiah by E.J. Young 楊以德, the 1-volume or 2-volume commentary on Romans by
John Murray 慕理, and the 2-volume on The Sermon on the Mount by Martyn LloydJones 鍾馬田 are tremendous feasts of spiritual wisdom. They are all in print at this
point! Martyn Lloyd-Jones has been hailed as the greatest preacher in the 20th century.
He has written Bible commentary series on Romans and Ephesians, etc.
The Anchor Bible and other commentary series published by Word and
Zondervan put the reader in touch with contemporary debates in Bible background and
interpretation. They do not have the same solid, traditional flavor as Hendriksen,
Murray, Young and the Puritans.
TOPICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BIBLE 主題彙編
The Topical Analysis of the Bible (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 1991;
subsequently renamed Baker’s Topical Guide to the Bible) was edited by Walter Elwell
of Wheaton College. This is an excellent tool, because it is simply an arrangement of
Bible verses, all typed out in full, according to an order of doctrine/systematic theology.
This is helpful as you study a particular topic or doctrine. Chinese translation was
published in 1996 as Zhu Ti Hui Shi Sheng Jing <<主題彙析聖經>> (Logos Publishers
基道出版社, Unit 1011, Fo Tan Industrial Centre, 26 Au Pui Wan Street, Fo Tan, Shatin,
Hong kong, fax 852 2687 0281, 1997).
<<主題彙析聖經>>已有光碟版本﹐由香港啟創出版。
THEOLOGICAL DICTIONARIES 神學辭典
<<當代神學辭典>> - 文章素質與信仰立場參差不齊﹐“編者注” 往往離
題。可是﹐參考性高。
The New Dictionary of Theology, edited by Sinclair Ferguson, David F. Wright
and J.I. Packer (Downers Grove, IL: Inter Varsity, 1988) is a standard reference volume
for evangelicals. It stands in the center of the evangelical movement, and sometimes
somewhat to the left of center. The Chinese equivalent, Dang Dai Shen Xue Ci Dian
11
<<當代神學辭典>> (2 volumes, edited by Arnold Yeung 中文編譯本主編﹕楊牧谷),
leans further toward the left, and is much more appreciate of the contemporary (nonevangelical) academic scene. For example, while Yeung has added new material to the
original English text, he does not always give equal treatment to more conservative views
(e.g. his work in the article on “Apologetics” gives almost no attention to evangelicals
like Cornelius Van Til 范泰爾 and Carl F. Henry 韓客爾).
編者偏見一例﹕保守派的護教大師﹐如范泰而﹐韓客爾等﹐在 “護教” 一文中一字
不提。
一本信仰立場可靠的神學辭典﹕趙中輝編﹐<<神學名詞辭典>> (改革宗翻
譯社) ﹐不過可讀性不如其他市面上的神學辭典 。
Yeung’s work should be supplemented by Charles Chao’s A Dictionary of
Theological Terms (Shen xue ming ci ci dian 趙中輝﹐<<神學名詞詞典>>, Reformation
Translation Fellowship 改革宗翻譯社, 3rd edition, 1998). Chao is Reformed, and gives
a more conservative interpretation of key terms; his writing, however, can be difficult to
read. His book is really useful mainly for his solid biblical stance.
Another helpful work is Walter Elwell’s Evangelical Dictionary of Theology
(Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 1984). Elwell has been teaching theology at Wheaton
College for many years.
Dr. Colin Brown of Fuller Theological Seminary was editor of The New
International Dictionary of New Testament Theology (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan,
1975; 4 volumes, including index), the standard work which has taken into account
contemporary critical theories. A broader academic volume consulted by students of
religion and theology is Gerhard Kittel, ed. (translated by Geoffrey W. Bromiley),
Theological Dictionary of the Theology of New Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans,
1964-74, 10 volumes). Fortunately, this has been abridged into one volume, nicknamed
the “Little Kittel”: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament: Abridged in One
Volume (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1985).
Both give definitions of the word in Greek, along with background in Hebrew and
Old Testament usage as well as secular Greek usage. Kittell should not be considered an
evangelical work.
A visit to your local seminary library will put you in touch with many other
dictionaries of the Bible and dictionaries of theology. Use your discretion! Likewise
when you visit your local secular bookstore – the religion section often carries
dictionaries of the Bible and dictionaries of theology.
BIBLE SURVEYS 聖經綜覽
For the Old Testament, two one-volume textbooks are conservative and highly
readable: Jack Scott, God’s Plan Unfolded (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House, 1976), and
12
Leon Wood, A Survey of Israel’s History (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1970﹔
<<以色列民族史>>). Scott‘s is a clearly covenantal perspective on the Old Testament.
The Christian Education and Publications Committee (Presbyterian Church in
America) has published a very substantial series entitled Adult Biblical Education Series
(Committee on Christian Education and Publications, 1852 Century Place, Suite 101,
Atlanta, GA 30345, 1980). There is one volume introducing the Old Testament; one
volume introducing the New Testament; and numerous volumes treating every part of the
Bible. Lessons are written out in full, for the benefit of the Sunday School teacher or
Bible study leader. Lessons may be too long to be covered in 1 hour; I suggest using one
of Scott’s lessons for two sessions. Sometimes Scott will include other materials, e.g.
sketches of Church History. Available from the Christian Education and Publications
bookstore in Atlanta, Georgia.
BIBLE INTRODUCTION (BACKGROUND) 聖經入門
滕慕理﹐<<新約綜覽>>(香港﹕宣道出版社﹐1976) 。楊以德﹐<<舊約
導論>> (香港﹕基督教文藝出版社﹐可能絕版) 。這兩本信仰立場保守可靠。
Two standard, older evangelical introductions to the background of the Bible were
written by Gleason Archer (A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, Chicago, IL: Moody
Press, 1964) and Merrill Tenney 滕慕理 (New Testament Survey, Grand Rapids, MI:
Eerdmans, 1961). Students at Moody and Trinity have nicknamed Archer’s book “The
Yellow Bible,” since Dr. Archer used to examine the students on their memory of the
content in it! Tenney is available in Chinese: Xin Yue Zong Lan <<新約綜覽>>
(香港﹕宣道出版社 Hong Kong: China Alliance Press, 1976). Edward J. Young 楊 以
德 has also written a solidly conservative introduction to the Old Testament, which is
available from the Southeast Asia Theological Education series (Chinese Christian
Literature Council 楊以德﹐<<舊約導論>>﹐ 基督教文藝出版社) . The English
original, An Introduction to the Old Testament, is out of print. Try hunting for it through
used-book dealers!
一個起步查經的學生﹐應該用一些信仰保守可靠的聖經導論書籍。
My position is: the Bible student should start with a clearly and solidly
conservative reference tool such as Young and Archer.
A more scholarly approach is New Testament Introduction by Donald Guthrie of
London Bible College (IVP). Guthrie gives an overview of the many theories on a
debate, and then seeks to offer reasonable support for the conservative view. This is the
kind of approach which contemporary evangelical scholars should, but do not, imitate.
Guthrie solidly stands in the evangelical tradition.
Other evangelical scholars who have stood firm in the midst of the academic
world include: F. F. Bruce (author of dozens of books) and Dr. Metzger of Princeton
Seminary (expert on New Testament textual criticism).

(EVANGLEICAL) BIBLICAL THEOLOGY 聖經神學
Biblical theology 聖經神學 is different from systematic theology 系統神學.
While systematic theology asks the question, “What does the entire Bible teach about a
particular topic x?,” Biblical theology is the study of themes which God has revealed, at
different periods of the history of revelation. For example, studies on the covenant in the
Five Books of Moses; the promise of the Messiah in the Old Testament prophets; the
kingdom of God in the Gospels; suffering and the age to come in the epistles of Paul; etc.
are classic examples of Biblical theology.
Your understanding of the Bible will be greatly enriched through the study of
Biblical theology. Another benefit is: you will be amazed how Jesus Christ is really the
central figure and focus of the Old Testament.
In my view, an effective worship leader should be a student of Biblical theology,
especially Old Testament biblical theology.
Biblical theology is grounded on two beliefs: the historical progression of
revelation, and the unity of revelation. Contemporary evangelical Biblical scholars often
forget the unity of revelation; e.g. they pitch Jesus (a Hippie-like lover of all people)
against Paul (whom they accuse of being a woman-hater). This is the kind of Biblical
study which clearly harms the church and erodes the Christian’s confidence in the Bible!
A word of caution: Biblical theology refers to the evangelical study of the history
of revelation. This is not to be confused with another movement, the “Biblical theology
movement” which is non-evangelical (treated by J.I. Packer 巴刻 in his book, Truth and
Power). This non-evangelical type of Biblical theology purports to study what the people
of God believed and preached at different points in time; however, these scholars do not
necessarily (often they actually do not) believe that the Bible is inspired and inerrant.
The great leader of the evangelical Biblical theology movement – as properly
understood by J.I. Packer in Truth and Power – is Dr. Edmund P. Clowney, retired
president of Westminster Theological Seminary. You can taste the riches of Biblical
theology through Clowney’s book, The Mystery Unveiled, or his older work, Preaching
and Biblical Theology. A shorter work by one of the numerous students of Clowney, is
Charles Drew, Ancient Love Song: Finding Christ in the Old Testament (Presbyterian and
Reformed, 2001).
Standard academic works on Old Testament biblical theology include: Gerhardus
Vos, Biblical Theology; Meredith Kline, Treaty of the Great King; and Meredith Kline,
The Structure of Biblical Authority. Seminary students are often required to read works
on biblical theology by non-evangelicals such as Von Rad and W. Eichrodt.
14
New Testament biblical theology is best exemplified by the last section in G. Vos,
Biblical Theology, and Vos’ other work: Pauline Eschatology. Besides G. Vos, Herman
Ridderbos is another name to remember when shopping for books on biblical theology.
Ridderbos has a book on Paul. Vos has a shorter book entitled The Coming of the
Kingdom.
A French Roman Catholic author has edited a one-volume Dictionary of Biblical
Theology, which is very helpful as a supplementary tool.
DOCTRINE: CREEDS, CATECHISMS, STUDY GUIDE
教義﹕信條﹐信仰告白﹐信仰問答
建立信仰根基﹐應當參考歷代教會公認的信條。在宗教改革時期﹐信條最精
彩的是1643-47寫成的<<威敏斯特信仰告白>>﹐和附帶的<<大要理問答>>與<<小
要理問答>>。後人又根據<<小要理問答>>寫了<<兒童信仰問答>>。
17-18世紀的教會裡﹐兒童都須要背誦<<小要理問答>>﹐乃是堅信培訓 (即
被獲准領聖餐之前) 之必讀課本。今天我們成年人讀<<小要理問答>>﹐不會
太難﹐也不會太容易﹗巴刻博士在維真學院的神學課程裡﹐往往要求學生把<<小
要理問答>>背下來。
To build one’s theological foundation from the beginning, or to teach young
people, I suggest two catechisms: The Shorter Catechism with Scripture Proofs (Banner
of Truth Trust, 3 Murrayfield Road, Edinburgh EH12 6EL, Scotland; or P O. Box 621,
Carlisle, PA 17103, USA; US $1.00) and The First Catechism (Great Commission
Publications, 3640 Windsor Park Drive, Suite 100, Suwanee, GA 30024-1800, 1996, 95
cents). Both can be ordered from the CEP bookstore. <<兒童信仰問答>>﹐
http://samling.ccim.org.
<<小要理問答>>﹐收在<<歷代教會信條精選>>裡﹐而<<基督教要道初階>>
乃<<小要理問答>>的教科書﹐中學程度﹐是基督徒讀系統教義的最好入門。
The Shorter Catechism was written by the Westminster Assembly in
England(1647), for use in churches to teach their young people Bible doctrine. Since
then, it has become the best exposition of Protestant doctrines in history! Dr. J. I. Packer
has, on many occasions, required his theology class to memorize all the 100+ answers!
For the contemporary adult, we may need a study guide to accompany it: G. I.
Williamson, The Shorter Catechism for Study Classes (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and
Reformed Publishing, 1970; 2 volumes), available from CEP bookstore. Reformation
Translation Fellowship has translated this as Ji Du Jiao Yao Dao Chu Jie [First Steps in
Christian Doctrine] << 基督教要道初階>> (Taipei: Reformation Translation
Fellowship 基督教改革宗翻譯社, 1979), useful for training classes for elders, deacons
and Sunday School teachers. I would use it in high school and college Sunday School
classes.
<<歷代教會信條精選>> - 2002 年修訂版。近年來﹐中華福音神學院出版了
15
<<新譯西敏信條>>。
The more complete exposition of Reformational doctrine is The Westminster
Confession of Faith, Larger and Shorter Catechisms (Atlanta, GA: Presbyterian Church
in America, 3rd edition, 1990; available from CEP bookstore). Get the version with
scripture texts! I particularly appreciate the Confession’s definition of the authority of
the Bible (Chapter 1); its explanation of assurance of salvation (chapter 19); and the
Larger Catechism’s explanation of the use of God’s law. Both the Larger and the
Shorter Catechism devotes plenty of space to explaining the Ten Commandments and the
Lord’s Prayer. G. I. Williamson has written The Westminster Confession of Faith for
Study Classes (Phillipsurg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed, 1964) as a study guide. The
Confession and the Shorter (not the Larger) Catechism has been collected in Reformation
Translation Fellowship’s creeds volume: Li Dai Jiao Hui Xin Tiao Jing Xuan
[Ecumenical Creeds and Reformed Confessions and Catechisms] <<歷代教會信條
精選>> (Taipei: Reformation Translation Fellowship 改革宗翻譯社 , 1993, 2002).
Another standard Chinese colleciton of creeds is: Li dai ji du jiao xin tiao [Confessions,
Catechisms and Church Councils] <<歷代基督教信條>> (Hong Kong: Chinese
Christian Council 基督教文藝出版社, 1957).
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has compiled a volume of creeds known as The
Book of Confessions (Office of the General Assembly, Presbyterian Church (USA), 100
Witherspoon Street, Louisville, KY 40202-1396, 800-524-2612 or 502-569-5000 ext.
2503, 1996; $11.00). Seminary bookstores now carry it regularly. The study version is
more expensive than the regular version. This volume contains most of the Reformed
creeds, along with 20th century statements which may contain a Neo-Orthodox / Barthian
slant. It is an inexpensive, helpful reference work.
A good seminary bookstore will carry several volumes of creeds and confessions.
<<浸信會信仰宣言>> - 與威敏斯特信仰告白相似﹐洗禮觀屬浸禮宗。
Baptists should be interested to know that the London Confession (1680s) is now
available in both English and Chinese ﹕<<浸信會信仰宣告>> (Reformed Christian
Book Club, P.O. Box 25107, Harbour Building Post Office, Hong Kong, 1991)。
TEXTBOOKS ON SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY 系統神學教科書
20世紀出版的改革宗系統神學教科書﹐最典型的是伯克夫的<<系統神學>>
﹐可惜還沒有翻譯成中文。
For many years, the standard Reformed textbook is Louis Berkhof, Systematic
Theology (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1939; reprinted in numerous editions). The
contemporary edition has included another work, formerly called The Introductory
Volume, along with Systematic Theology. You should buy this combined one-volume
edition whenever possible! It is well worth the US $35-40 investment.
16
伯克夫也寫了<<基督教教義史>>﹐信仰立場堅固。中文譯本由改革宗翻譯
社出版﹐其中三位一體的教義﹐和人論的兩部分﹐在中華展望的網頁上有修訂版﹕
http://samling.ccim.org。
Dr. Berkhof taught systematic theology for many years at Calvin Seminary, and
can be considered a 20th century “heir” to Charles Hodge (see below). Berkhof has
written another “companion volume”: A History of Christian Doctrines (translated as: Ji
du jiao jiao yi shi <<基督教教義史>>, Taipei: Reformation Translation Fellowship
改革宗翻譯社, 1984). Solid, comprehensive, succinct.
These three books should be used together.
伯克夫﹐<<基督教神學概論>>與<<基督教教義概要>>﹐都是他的<<系統神
學>>的濃縮本。前者由改革宗翻譯社出版﹐後者由香港的天道書樓出版。
Berkhof has written a shorter version, A Manual of Christian Doctrine, which has
been translated by Rev. Charles Chao趙中輝 of the Reformation Translation Fellowship,
entitled Ji Du Jiao Jiao Yi Gai Lun <<基督教教義概論>> (Taipei: Reformation
Translation Fellowship 改革宗翻譯社, 1974). English version is still in print.
A still shorter version is A Summary of Christian Doctrine (Grand Rapids, MI:
Eerdmans 1938, reprinted numerous times), published by Tien Dao Publishers in Hong
Kong as Ji Du Jiao Jiao Yi Gai Yao <<基督教教義概要>> (Hong Kong: Tien Dao
Publishing House 天道書樓, 1978, 1983, 1986). English version is in print both in
Britain and in North America. A must buy!
加爾文的<<基督教要義>> (香港﹕基督教文藝出版出版社﹐三冊) 是基督
新教的最早﹐也是歷史上最偉大的系統神學著作之一﹐感謝主有中文翻譯﹐雖然有
部分段落從略﹐可是至少可以給我們對加爾文的信仰有最基本的認識。<<基督教
要義>>收在 “基督教歷代名著集成” 系列裡。
Two standard works on systematic theology are probably too long for the
beginner, but a worthwhile investment for future study: John Calvin 加爾文﹐ Institutes
of the Christian Religion (tr. Ford Lewis Battles; Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1960;
2 volumes), and Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids, MI: William B.
Eerdmans, many editions, 3 volumes; there is a one-volume abridged edition). Calvin’s
work is unparalled; you can buy a Chinese excerpted version in the Ji Du Jiao Li Dai
Ming Zhu Ji Cheng 基督教歷代名著集成 (Christian Classics Library) series, published
by Chinese Christian Literature Council基督教文藝出版社, Hong Kong. The Chinese
title is Ji Du Jiao Yao Yi <<基督教要義>>. (volumes 5-6 of the series).
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity: <<系統神學>> ﹐台北﹕加爾文出版社。
作者是清教徒神學家﹐本書給我們對清教徒的信仰有起碼的認識。其他的清教徒神
學著作﹐如歐文的<<聖靈論>>﹐Thomas Watson 的 <<悔改真義>>﹐由中華展望在
翻譯﹐出版中。19世紀改革宗最偉大的系統神學著作乃是賀治的<<系統神學>>﹐
英文共三卷﹐目前有濃縮版(一卷)。賀治是普林斯頓神學院的教授﹐在19世紀的美
17
國﹐面對自由神學的入侵﹐領導了美國教會作護教的工夫。後來普林斯頓的神學教
授還有 Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (B.B. Warfield) ﹐他最有名的神學包括<<聖
經>>的默啟示﹐和靈恩的 “終止論” 。
Charles Hodge 賀治 was systematic theology professor at Princeton Seminary in
th
the 19 century; although many people would no longer use his “arguments from
experience,” and many cannot read the Latin sections of the 3 volume text, Hodge
remains a tower of strength defending the orthodox, Reformed, evangelical positions.
Fortunately for 21st century readers, there is now a one-volume abridged version. The
passages in Latin have been deleted, the resulting work is much easier to use!
James Montgomery Boice ( -2001) 生前是費城第十長老會的主任牧師﹐畢業
與哈佛大學﹐普林斯頓神學院﹐和在瑞士攻讀神學博士﹐是福音派改革宗的重要發
言人。著有幾十本解經﹐神學書籍﹐也是國際聖經無誤協會的主席﹐和費城改革宗
講座的發起人。他的系統神學 (四卷) 已經翻成中文﹕<<全權的神>>﹐<<救贖的
神>>﹐<<向神覺醒>>﹐和<<神與歷史>>。段落的按照編排按照加爾文的<<基督教
要義>>。
For the average, beginning student (seminarian, layperson or Sunday School
teacher), two easier one-volume texts are: James M. Boice, Foundations of Christian
Faith (Downers Grove, IL: Inter Varsity Press, 1986; formerly 4 volumes), and Wayne
Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1994). Boice is pastor at Tenth Presbyterian Church, and a staunch defender
and able expositor of Bible doctrines. He follows the same outline as Calvin’s Institutes.
Parts I, II and III of Boice has been translated into Chinese as: Quan quan zhi shen
<<全權之神>> [The Sovereign God] (Milltown, NJ: Christian Renewal Ministries); Jiu
shu zhi shen <<救贖之神>> [God the Redeemer] (Milltown, NJ: Christian Renewal
Ministries, 1997); and Xiang shen jue xing <<向神覺醒>> [Awakening to God]
(Milltown, NJ: Christian Renewal Ministries更新傳道會, 1999).
當代英文世界裡可讀性最高的系統神學教科書首推﹕Wayne Grudem,
Systematic Theology; Wayne Grudem, Bible Doctrine. 作者畢業於威敏斯特神學院﹐
多年在芝加哥的三一神學院任教﹐神學立場屬改革宗﹐對靈恩運動 (尤其預言)
採取溫和與謹慎批判態度。他的英文<<系統神學>>每章都有參考書目﹐列出其他
立場的神學家在同一問題上的討論﹔每章也介紹一首聖詩的歌詞。
Grudem is Reformed, and sympathetic to certain themes in the contemporary
charismatic movement. Grudem adds a hymn at the end of every chapter, and his
sectional headings are framed in questions; highly readable! There is now a shorter
version by Grudem, called Bible Doctrine. Beginners can consider either the longer or
shorter work!
中文系統神學教科書最精簡的是﹕呂沛淵﹐<<基要神學>>三卷。呂牧師是
威敏斯特神學院的哲學博士﹐講道有培靈的風格﹐信仰改革宗。呂博士的神學課程
備受中國和海外華人知識分子和信徒歡迎。
18
Chinese-readers should be encouraged to know that Dr. Luke Lu 呂沛淵 (Lu Pei
yuan) has written a three volume work called Ji yao shen xue <<基要神學>>(Essential
Theology I, II, III), which has been published by Overseas Campus Magazine海外校
園 (Lomita, California) and Campus Evangelical Fellowship 校園出版社 (Taipei). This
is the newest brief introduction to systematic theology for the beginner!
SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY: THEMES 系統神學﹕專題
Doctrine of the Knowledge of God / Doctrine of Revelation / Doctrine of Scripture
認識神﹐啟示論﹐聖經論
John Frame, The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God (Phillipsburg, NJ:
Presbyterian and Reformed, 1987). Translation into Chinese in progress, China Horizon
這是當代改革宗一本立場穩固﹐思路清晰﹐對福音派 (改革宗以外) 人士採溫和態
度的 “啟示論” 教科書。作者曾在耶魯大學攻讀邏輯﹐多年來在威敏斯特神學院
(費城校本部﹐和加州校園) 任教﹐近年來在改革宗神學院任系統神學教授。
巴刻在<<基要主義與神的道>>裡為聖經的權威辯護﹐也處理了信心與理性
的關係。本書的著作﹐是為了回應1950年代英國聖公會自由派的一位主教攻擊基要
派。因此這本書既是神學﹐也是護教。

of the authority of Scripture, in response to a liberal Anglican bishop’s attack on
evangelicals (the latter wrote Fundamentalism and the Church of God).
巴刻的<<真理與權能>>還沒有中譯本﹐記述了聖經無誤運動的歷史。本書

(CSI Publications, 1951; Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, reprinted 1998) is highly
readable, and contains many, many pictures and charts. It has been translated by Mrs.
Morley (Sophie Lin) Lee 李林靜芝, under the title Li Shi Di Gui Ji<< 歷史的軌跡>>
(Taipei: Campus Evangelical Fellowship 台北﹕校園, 1986). The book was originally
written for senior high students in Christian high schools. Well illustrated with pictures,
charts and maps, it is most helpful for any adult beginner in church history. It takes an
uncompromisingly Protestant and Reformed stand.
A highly readable English textbook is Church History in Plain Language by
Bruce Shelley of Denver Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary (Dallas, TX: Word,
1982). It is much longer than Kuiper, and is written from a generally evangelical
(sometimes Baptist) point of view. Shelley chooses important themes in church history,
and always begins a chapter with an anecdote. Thus the approach is selective rather than
exhaustive.
For Reformation history, standard works include: Roland Bainton, The Protestant
Reformation in the 16th Century, (Boston, MA: Beacon Press, 1952) and his biography of
Martin Luther: Here I Stand (available in Chinese, entitled Zhei shi wo di li chang
馬丁路德﹐<<這是我的立場>>﹐ 道聲). For the Reformed movement, try John T.
McNeill, The History and Character of Calvinism (New York: Oxford University Press,
1954); Francois Wendel, Calvin; and T.H.L. Parker, Calvin.
The impact of Calvin’s theology (Reformed theology) has been profound in the
modern world. Douglas F. Kelly, The Emergence of Liberty in the Modern World: The
Influence of Calvin on Five Governments from the 16th through 18th Centuries
(Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed, 1982) traces the development of concepts
of law and democracy in Geneva (Switzerland); Holland; England; and New England.
The Puritan movement is the outworking of Calvinist theology in England under
Elizabeth I (1558-1603), James I (1603-1620) and subsequent monarchs. J.I. Packer has
given us a highly readable selection of essays on the Puritans’ view on the Bible,
preaching, family, worship, etc. in The Quest For Godliness (British edition: Among
God’s Saints). Erroll Hulse has written a book aimed at the high school/college level:
Who Are The Puritans? What Do They Teach. Banner of Truth Trust carries this title.
For the outworking of New England Puritan theology, two academic works written by a
non-evangelical (non-believer?) remain important: Perry Miller, The New England Mind:
The Seventeenth Century, and The New England Mind: From Colony to Province.
Later developments in Reformed theology in North America have been briefly noted in a
collection of essays edited by David Wells: Reformed Theology in America.
The Pietist movement has exerted tremendous influence on the modern
evangelical church. Ernst Stoeffer’s book is unparalleled: The Rise of Evangelical
Pietism (E.J. Brill, Netherlands).
George Marsden has done us a service by chronicling the history of modern
American fundamentalism. His first work is Fundamentalism and American Culture
24
(New York: Oxford, 1981). His thesis is the fundamentalism is primarily an American
movement. His sequel is Reforming Fundamentalism, which tells the story of Fuller
Theological Seminary from its inception in 1947. In general, highly respected scholars
who have written on the history of evangelicalism include: Mark Noll, George Marsden,
Daryl Hart, and Nathan O. Hatch.

APOLOGETICS 護教學
A beginner’s text in apologetics is Richard Pratt, Every Thought Captive
(Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed). It presents presuppositional apologetics
at a senior high/college level. A more complete introduction to apologetics is found in
John M. Frame, Apologetics to the Glory of God (P&R) (to be translated by China
Evangelical Seminary). The ambitious student should consult Greg Bahnsen, ed., Van
Til’s Apologetic (P&R), and sample selections from Van Til’s works there. Very few of
Van Til’s writings are in Chinese (China Horizon中華展望 is presently translating
Bahnsen).
章力生教授﹐1902年出生﹐曾推動儒﹐道﹐佛教的再興﹐1950年代信主﹐著
有80多本書籍與小冊﹐熱心護教。<<人文主義批判>>是對章博士的思想的入門。
加拿大恩福協會用簡體字出版了<<人本與神本>> ﹐段落的編排有所變動。章教授
的<<總體辯道學>> ﹐第一卷維護聖經的權威﹔第二卷批判中西哲學﹐第三卷批判
儒家﹐道家﹐佛教等宗教思想。看慣了當代華人 “文化佈道者” 的著作的人士﹐一
下子可能不習慣章博士對於真理的忠誠﹐這是因為讀者們可能沒有想同神的啟示與
文化/哲學之間的關係。文化不是神的啟示 (連影子都不是) ﹐乃是墮落了的人
對神的普遍啟示的回應而已。章教授立場堅定﹐熱心禱告﹐盼望中國/華人的新儒
家知識分子信主﹐是不可多的的真理勇士。
The Chinese reader may begin his study of apologetics with three books by LitSen Chang 章力生: the first is Ren wen zhu i pi pan << 人文主義批判>>. (A Criticism
of humanism). Simplified script: Ren ben yu shen ben <<人本與神本>> (Christian
Communications Inc. of Canada 加拿大恩福協會). This is a brief treatment of both
Chinese/Asian and western humanist philosophy. Then try his Comprehensive Christian
Apologetics (Zong ti bian dao xue<< 總體辯道學>>), Volme 1 (China Alliance Press
宣道出版社) – the English translation: Lit-Sen Chang, What Is Apolgetics, China
Horizon, 1999, only contains the first half of the Chinese volume 1.
Non-presuppositional apologetics texts include works by Norman Geisler, J.P.
Moreland, Josh McDowell, R.C. Sproul, and Paul Little.

Critiques of Asian and Western Thought 東西思想批判
薛華的<<理性的規避>>與<<前車可鑒>>為讀者走過2000年底西方藝術與哲
學﹐從中說明﹐一個以人為中心的文化/哲學﹐必定導致絕望。是護教學必讀的入
門指引。沒有讀過哲學書的信徒們﹐細讀這本書是一個好的開始﹗<<前車可鑒>>
有12講的錄像帶﹐CBD有售﹐英文名﹕How Should We Then Live。
Francis Schaeffer (薛華)’s Escape from Reason (Downers Grove, IL: Inter
Varsity Press, 1968; Chinese: Li xing di gui bi <<理性的規避>>) ﹐ and How Should We
Then Live? (Old Tappan, NJ: Revell, 1976) are classic critiques of humanistic culture in
western history from a biblical perspective (Chinese: Qian ju ke jian <<前車可鑒>>,
Hong Kong: China Alliance Press 宣道出版社).
The works of the late Dr. Lit-Sen Chang 章力生 (1904-1996) are biblical in
foundation, and provide shattering critiques of Chinese and western humanism. For
beginners: Ren wen zhu-i pi pan (A Criticism of Humanism). Or consult: Zong ti bian
dao xue <<總體辯道學>> 四卷(Comprehensive Christian Apologetics), 4 volumes.
The essence of Volume 3 has been rendered in English as Asia’s Religions: Christianity’s
Momentous Encounter with Paganism (China Horizon, 1999), which provides a
comprehensive treatment and critique of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Zen
and Hinduism. The first half of Volume 1 is translated as What Is Apologetics (tr. Samuel
Ling, China Horizon, 1999).
Works which are sympathetic to, or sometimes celebrations of, Chinese thought
include works by Thomas In-seng Leung 梁燕城 and Yuan Zhiming 遠志明. Additional
works critical of western culture include books by Leslie Newbign. The serious student
should browse in secular bookstores for a good dictionary of philosophy; e.g. Cambridge
Dictionary of Philosophy. Copleston’s set, A History of Western Philosophy, remains
unparalleled; it is always a solid long-term investment. If you have time only to read one
secular book on western philosophy, consider Will Durant, A Story of Philosophy.
Available in all bookstores. Clear exposition of Kant and other major philosophers.
Samuel Ling critiques contemporary Chinese culture in biblical and bicultural
perspective, in The Chinese Way of Doing Things (China Horizon, 1999).

MODERN THOUGHT AND MODERN THEOLOGY 現代思潮與現代神學
簡河培﹐<<現代神學論評>>﹐簡單的介紹和批判新派的神學﹐以巴特開始
﹔然後後半部分分析與批判保守派的各種神學派別。比蘇恩佩的信仰立場更明顯。
A most succinct summary and critique of modern schools of theology (both
liberal and conservative) is found in Harvie M. Conn, Contemporary World Theology: A
Layman’s Guidebook (Presbyterian and Reformed, 1973). The Chinese translation is
entitled Xian dai shen xue lun ping 簡河培﹐<<現代神學論評>> , translated by Rev.
Charles Chao and Rev. Watson Soong 趙中輝﹐宋華忠譯 (Taipei: Reformation
Translation Fellowship 改革宗翻譯社, 1973). Reviews and critiques modern theology
(Kant 康德, Barth 巴特, Bultmann, Tillich 田立克, Theology of Hope 希望神學, etc.);
then critiques evangelicals (pietism 敬虔主義, fundamentalism 基要主義, neoevangelicalism 新福音派, etc.).

Cornelius Van Til’s historic works critiquing Karl Barth are The New Modernism
and Christianity and Barthianism. Originally published by Presbyterian and Reformed,
they are currently out of print. However the reader may consider purchasing the
Cornelius Van Til CD-ROM from Westminster Theological Seminary’s bookstore at:
www.wts.edu. The CD-ROM contains dozens of books, hundreds of articles and dozens
of audio lectures by Van Til; a classic and a bargain!
There are very few courageous critiques of Barth in Chinese, unfortunately.
POSTMODERNISM AND PAGANISM 後現代與異教文化
對於後現代文化與思想的分析與批判﹐可以參考<<中國神學研究院期刊>>
﹐第22﹐27期。22期各篇文章中﹐唯有吳慧儀博士一篇提到對解構主義的批判﹐立
場穩定。27期尤其反映出﹐一個人文主義者 (例如﹕巴特式的存在主義者) 是很難
批判另一種的人文主義的 (例如﹕結構主義)。
Chinese reviews of postmodern thought and hermeneutics can be found in China
Graduate School of Theology Journal <<中國神學研究院期刊>>, Issues ##22 and 27.
Most articles review rather than critique postmodernism (exception: article by Wai-Yee
Ng 吳慧儀). Other examples of postmodern hermeneutics can be found in Jian Dao
(<<建道>>) journal (Alliance Bible Seminary建道神學院, Hong Kong), or Regent
Chinese Journal << 維真學刊>> (Regent College維真學院, Vancouver, Canada).

陳大雷 Walter Chantry﹐<<當代的福音﹕純真﹖混雜﹖>>﹐陳喜謙譯﹐香港
﹕福音出版社﹐1975。用耶穌與少年人的官的對話﹐說出當代佈道的危機。該書的
結論向當代教會提出這樣的警告﹕“當代福音工作與耶穌福音工作之間的差異﹐絕
非無足輕重﹔其實差異是很大的。主要的謬誤不在於著重點或方法﹐而是在福音信
息的精義。缺少了上面討論過的任何一方面﹐都是很嚴重。若忽視了全部 –
神的屬性﹐神聖潔的律法﹐悔改
﹐呼召人向基督的寶座低頭﹐以及得救的確據 – 是最致命的錯誤。聖經裡頭沒有比
這些更加具有關鍵性的。 (頁70。)

Abraham Kuyper, Lectures on Calvinism (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1931; in
