affirmation 测验

Systematics is an effort to understand those specifically theological affirmations that the theologian holds to be true and so regards as doctrines.

1961 Aug, George Steiner, “Homer and the Scholars”, The Atlantic Monthly, page 77: War and mortality cry havoc, yet the center holds. That center is the affirmation that actions of body and heroic spirit are in themselves a thing of beauty, that renown shall outweigh the passing terrors of death, and that no catastrophe, not even the fall of Troy, is final.
