Full Description
This book brings together Herman Bavinck's essential theological writings in one volume. Gayle E. Doornbos and N. Gray Sutanto, both respected scholars of Bavinck and neo-Calvinism, introduce the texts and provide commentary to help readers understand Bavinck in his historical context and grasp his theological vision.
In addition to covering one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century, Reformed Dogmatics, this book includes other important texts written by Bavinck that mark his theological development and the shape of his thought. The texts are arranged chronologically from Bavinck's earliest writings to selections from Reformed Dogmatics to his Amsterdam writings, which focus on applying theology to other areas of life. The authors include selections from Reformed Dogmatics that go beyond historical narration to display Bavinck's own contributions and judgments. As the authors introduce Bavinck's classic texts, they abridge and explain the primary source material in understandable terms.
This book will be of use to students of Bavinck, neo-Calvinism, or modern theology as well as readers looking for a one-volume resource that introduces them to Bavinck and his theology.
