我们为什么爱教会

德扬为传统教会制度进行的热情辩护，回应当代"去教会化"基督教的趋势。作者分析了现代基督徒离开传统教会的各种原因——教会的虚伪、传统的束缚、个人的自由等——并逐一提供了圣经化的回应。全书强调教会不是人的发明，而是基督建立的神圣机构，信徒不能脱离教会而独自成圣。德扬以年轻牧者的活力和改革宗的坚持，为教会的重要性提供了有力的神学论证。这部作品对于理解当代教会论争议和加强教会归属感具有重要价值。

DeYoung's passionate defense of traditional church institution, responding to contemporary "dechurched" Christianity trends. The author analyzes various reasons why modern Christians leave traditional churches—church hypocrisy, traditional constraints, personal freedom—and provides biblical responses to each. The book emphasizes that church is not human invention but sacred institution established by Christ, and believers cannot be sanctified apart from church fellowship. With young pastor's vitality and Reformed persistence, DeYoung provides powerful theological argumentation for church importance. This work has significant value for understanding contemporary ecclesiological controversies and strengthening church belonging.
