Abstract
The chapter on baptism that Guy de Brès added to the fourth edition of Le baston de la foy chrestienne in 1559 is a good illustration of how the work was evolving from a polemical anthology of patristic and biblical quotations to more of a dogmatic compendium. The new chapter also exhibits a number of structural and theological parallels with de Brès’ Belgic Confession of 1561. In its treatment of baptism in relation to original sin and salvation, baptism as a means of grace, and infant baptism, the chapter indicates at the very least that some of the concepts, themes, and theological reasoning that appeared in the Belgic Confession in 1561 were already present, sometimes in fairly developed form, in Le baston two years earlier.
盖伊-德布雷(Guy de Brès)在 1559 年第四版的《基督教徒的福音》(Le baston de la foy chrestienne)中加入了关于洗礼的一章,这一章很好地说明了这部作品是如何从教父和圣经语录的论战选集演变成教义大全的。新章节在结构和神学方面也与德布雷斯 1561 年的《贝尔格告白》有许多相似之处。该章在论述洗礼与原罪和救赎的关系、洗礼作为恩典的一种手段以及婴儿洗礼时,至少表明 1561 年《贝尔格忏悔录》中出现的一些概念、主题和神学推理已经出现在两年前的《Le baston》中,有时是以相当成熟的形式出现。
