为了弄清楚韦伯命题与默顿命题(新教与清教)之间的关系,最近一直在看相关的书,今天介绍一本书,是由英国神学家J.I.巴刻写的一本书《清教徒肖像——论清教徒典范牧者与教牧经典》,这本书介绍了清教历史上著名的七位牧师与他们所写的七本书,最后介绍清教史上两位著名的清教徒:威廉●帕金斯与理查德●巴克斯特。巴刻是英国著名神学家(福音派),该书文本与人物的选择应该都是很专业的,通过对这些人物和所写书籍的介绍,对于我们了解新教与清教的教义有了进一步的提高,并由此产生一些新的想法,等过些日子写出来再贴上,这里暂不赘述。
【备注:清教徒与清教主义Puritan way of life; Puritanism, a religious reform movement in the late 16th and 17th centuries】
关于作者介绍两句:
James Innell Packer(1926-2020), better known to many as J. I. Packer, was one of the most famous and influential evangelical leaders of our time. He died Friday, July 17, at age 93.
J. I. Packer was born in a village outside of Gloucester, England, on July 22, 1926. He came from humble stock, being born into a family that he called lower middle class. The religious climate at home and church was that of nominal Anglicanism rather than evangelical belief in Christ as Savior (something that Packer was not taught in his home church)
Packer’s life-changing childhood experience came at the age of seven when he was chased out of the schoolyard by a bully onto the busy London Road in Gloucester, where he was struck by a bread van and sustained a serious head injury. He carried a visible dent in the side of his head for the rest of his life. Nevertheless, Packer was uncomplaining and accepting of what providence brought into his life from childhood on.
大意是说:
James Innell Packer,更广为人知的名字是J.I.Packer,是我们这个时代最著名、最有影响力的福音派领袖之一。他于7月17日星期五去世,享年94岁。
1926年7月22日,J·I·帕克出生在英国格洛斯特郊外的一个村庄。他出身于小杂货铺之家,他称之为中下阶层的家庭。家里和教堂的宗教氛围是名义上的圣公会,而不是福音派信仰基督为救世主。
改变帕克人生的童年经历发生在他七岁的时候,当时他被一个恶霸赶出校园,来到格洛斯特繁忙的伦敦路,在那里他被一辆面包车撞倒,头部严重受伤。在他的余生中,他的头部侧面有一个明显的凹痕。尽管如此,帕克并没有抱怨,他从小就接受天意给他的生活带来的一切。
这段介绍文字特意提到巴刻的童年及其遭遇,这与我们很多人的童年相似,很是感慨,这世界上没有人是随随便便成功的,重要的是接受它,改变它,并坚持下去。他1952年在牛津大学获得博士学位(博士论文就是关于清教徒理查德●巴克斯特的研究),他职业生涯的前一半时间在英国,后一半时间在加拿大。2005年他被《时代周刊》评为当代最有影响的25位福音派神学家之一(In 2005,Time magazine named Packer one of the 25 most influential evangelicals.)
