A second important characteristic of the religious practice in the United States today is the emphasis on social problems and humanitarian ideals rather than on the Calvinistic concern with individual sin. 今天,美国宗教惯常做法另一个主要特征,是把重点放在社会问题和人道主义理想方面,而不是放在按照加尔文教义对个人的罪恶表示忧虑方面。
This was not an issue as to whether they were Calvinistic in their soteriology, but an issue over their eschatology. 这与他们在救赎论上是不是加尔文主义无关,而是跟他们的末世论有关。
