「宗教改革–過去、現在與未來」
教會在當今這個遍佈著消費主義和虛擬文化的處境中，逐漸忘卻「以十字架為中心」的基督徒生活和經驗，也忽略「寫成文字的道」（聖經）和講道的重要性。作者重申宗教改革時期的精神及改教家們的主張，看重：十架神學、救贖歷史、系統神學、釋經講道。以及信徒有福的確據。
Reformation: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
In today’s consumerist and virtual culture, the church has gradually forgotten the Christian life and experience centered on the cross, and neglected the importance of the “written word” (the Bible) and preaching.
The author reiterates the spirit of the Reformation and the propositions of the Reformers, emphasizing: the theology of the cross, the history of salvation, systematic theology, exegetical preaching, and the assurance of the believer’s blessing.
內容簡介：作者在書中為十六世紀的宗教改革提出一個定義：「宗教改革代表一種運動，也就是將那位在基督裡彰顯自己的神，置於教會生活與思想的中心。」他首先指出宗教改革與今日的關聯，然後詳述這個定義的三個層面：
(1) 教會強調耶穌基督並祂釘十字架
(2) 強調聖經是我們宣講基督時所依據的基礎和準則
(3) 教會強調得救的確據是所有基督徒的正常經驗
本書可使我們從宗教改革汲取寶貴的教導與遺產。
Synopsis: The author defines the 16th-century Reformation as “a movement that placed the God who manifests himself in Christ at the center of church life and thought.” He first points out the connection between the Reformation and today, then elaborates on three aspects of this definition:
(1) The church emphasizes Jesus Christ and His crucifixion
(2) It emphasizes that the Bible is the foundation and standard upon which we preach Christ
(3) The church emphasizes that the assurance of salvation is the normal experience of all Christians.
This book allows us to draw valuable teachings and legacies from the Reformation.

楚門形容自己是一個英國的圓形木樁，塞進美國的方形樁孔裡。在教導教會歷史的過程中，他致力於培養學生的歷史觀和閱讀歷史的方法，使學生對自身的文化和處境，具有批判的能力。
他強調所有基督徒都應該對教會歷史有基本的認識，原因有三：一、了解教會之所以有各種想法、說法、做法的原因；二、避免每隔幾年便在神學或(及)教會的錯誤上重蹈覆轍；三、明白神如何在歷世歷代保守、扶持教會他認為福音派真正的弊病在於：沉醉於「大眾文化」中，一般基督徒對信仰的基本認識越來越貧乏。而基督徒面對與自己在神學、政治和道德上持不同觀點的人，應該按照第九誡「不可作假見證陷害人」的原則，誠實地論及彼此的差異。

Packer. 1988 Master’s degree from St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge; 1991 PhD from the University of Aberdeen; 1998-2007 Editor of the journal Themelios (Theological and Faith Studies) and advisor to the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals; 1991-2001 Taught at the University of Aberdeen and the University of Nottingham; 2001-Teach at Westminster Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania, USA; 2006-2012 Provost of Westminster Theological Seminary; 2012-Present Paul Woolley Chair of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary, focusing on writing and teaching.

Truman describes himself as a round English stake stuck in the square hole of an American stake. In teaching church history, he is dedicated to cultivating students’ historical perspective and methods of reading history, enabling them to critically understand their own culture and circumstances.
He emphasizes that all Christians should have a basic understanding of church history for three reasons: first, to understand why the church has various ideas, statements, and practices; second, to avoid repeating the same theological or (and) church errors every few years; and third, to understand how God has preserved and supported the church throughout history. He believes the real problem with evangelicals is their intoxication with “popular culture,” leading to an increasingly impoverished basic understanding of faith among ordinary Christians. When Christians encounter those who hold different views on theology, politics, and morality, they should honestly discuss their differences according to the principle of the Ninth Commandment, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
