Herman Bavinck's four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. The English translation was edited by world-class Bavinck scholar John Bolt, who now brings forth a manuscript from Bavinck that is being published for the first time.Serving as a companion to Reformed Dogmatics, Reformed Ethics offers readers Bavinck's mature reflections on ethical issues. Volumes 1 and 2 have already been published. Volume 1 mines the moral teachings of the early church and medieval and Puritan spirituality while addressing a variety of topics. Volume 2 covers the duties of the Christian life and includes Bavinck's exposition of the Ten Commandments. This third volume addresses family, marriage, and divorce.

For the First Time in English, a Foundational Work of One of the Church's Most Important Theologians As some point in life, we all wonder: Who am I? What is the world, and what is my place within it? Only Christianity offers answers to these questions in a way that meets our truest needs and satisfies our deepest longings. In this important book, translated into English for the first time, Herman Bavinck provides a framework for understanding why the Christian worldview is the only solution to the discord we feel between ourselves, the world, and God.

This Companion to Theologian Herman Bavinck’s Christian Worldview Explores Christianity’s Contributions to Higher Education After writing his well-known book Christian Worldview, Dutch Calvinist theologian and scholar Herman Bavinck focused his attention on how the Christian faith benefits higher learning, particularly religious studies, natural sciences, and the humanities. Christianity and Science explores the pros and cons of Christian science and features brief, informative sections on the natural sciences, the humanities, theological science and religious studies, the doctrine of revelation, the benefits of Christianity for scholarship, and what it means to develop a Christian university. Responding to the challenges of the modern age, Bavinck recognizes the significance of faith in education. Edited and translated in English for the first time by N. Gray Sutanto, James Eglinton, and Cory C. Brock, this fundamental work will inspire Christian teachers, practitioners, and seminarians in their pursuits.

In the process of translating Herman Bavinck's Reformed Ethics, John Bolt and his editorial colleagues discovered that the social ethics portion was unfinished. The first section will now be published as Reformed Ethics, vol. 3. The other five sections were outlined by Bavinck, but not completed. Following Bavinck's outline, John Bolt has reconstructed those last five sections on the basis of his extensive knowledge of Bavinck's work, culling Bavinck's other writings, in both Dutch and English, to summarize his teachings.This companion to Reformed Ethics offers readers Bavinck's main convictions and perspectives on critical topics of social ethics: society, art, scholarship, education, the state, the church, humanity, and the kingdom of God.Reformed Social Ethics completes the Reformed Ethics project and provides readers with a fuller picture of Bavinck's ethics. It will also be packaged with Bavinck's Reformed Ethics in a specially priced four-volume set.

Herman Bavinck's Reformed Ethics is now complete with the publication of Reformed Ethics, vol. 3, and the supplementary volume Reformed Social Ethics. The four-volume set, offered at a special price, includes:Reformed Ethics, vol. 1: Created, Fallen, and Converted HumanityReformed Ethics, vol. 2: The Duties of the Christian LifeReformed Ethics, vol. 3: Christian Life in SocietyReformed Social Ethics: Perspectives on Society, Culture, State, Church, and the Kingdom of GodThis set will be a valuable resource for all serious students of Reformed theology.

"In writing this Guidebook," Bavinck says in his preface, "I had in mind, the pupils in the highest classes of our Christian gymnasium, public schools, in the education of teachers, and in normal schools, etc. and moreover those who desire to understand the main content of our Christian, Reformed confession of faith through a not too comprehensive or expensive book."Herman Bavinck completed Guidebook for Instruction in the Christian Religion in 1913 and reprinted it in the Netherlands in 1931. He originally intended it for high school students and Christians of every confession. Bavinck's goal was to make Christians more familiar with the rich, deep thoughts of Scripture as universally expressed in the Christian faith.Guidebook for Instruction in the Christian Religion is an introductory systematic theology by one of the foremost theologians of the past century. Alongside The Sacrifice of Praise, this is Bavinck at his best doing catechetical theology. To this end, Bavinck sets off to explain in a simplified manner the main contents of the Christian religion, even giving it a title that is a tip of the hat to John Calvin's Institute of the Christian Religion. While Bavinck's lengthy Reformed Dogmatics is an academic work, Guidebook for Instruction serves a more egalitarian aim. It is a theological guide for the everyday person in the pew. In this one--and much shorter--volume, Bavinck walks Christian readers through all the major topics covered in Reformed Dogmatics with theological depth and insight.

Herman Bavinck on the challenges theologians faceHerman Bavinck's counsel to theologiansA unique window into Bavinck's thoughtAn overlooked work from a key Neo-Calvinist thinkerIn The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics, Herman Bavinck identifies the primary challenges confronting Protestant theologians in the early twentieth century. Since the main difficulties do not concern specific heads of doctrine but arise in theological method, Bavinck's focus narrows to the act of faith. Bavinck demonstrates the necessity of viewing faith as knowledge rather than mere trust, recounting the development of doctrine from the biblical authors through the dawn of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique window into Bavinck's thought, as he speaks candidly about the limitations and failures of Reformed theology and the relative merits of modern thinkers. The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics was a series of lectures delivered at the Free University shortly after Bavinck moved to Amsterdam in 1902. Edited and translated by Gert de Kok and Bruce R. Pass, these previously unpublished lectures are available for the first time in English.-- (5/24/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Dios ama a su Iglesia. A tal punto Dios ama a su pueblo, que envi a su Hijo a vivir, morir y resucitar por su novia. Y no s lo eso, sino que tambi n envi a su Esp ritu Santo para aplicar todas las bendiciones del pacto que se encuentran en el libro del pacto, la Biblia. Es el Esp ritu Santo, aquel que infaliblemente inspir las Santas Escrituras, quien aplica a lo m s profundo de nuestro coraz n la realidad del pacto de gracia. Ese pacto expresa la potente y dulce voz del Dios trino que dice: Yo soy vuestro Dios, y ustedes son mi pueblo. En base a ese determinado tipo de relaci n, los creyentes pueden decir, Dios, y solamente Dios, es el bien supremo del hombre.

本书收录赫尔曼-巴文克的〈当代世界观〉和《基督教世界观》。前者是巴文克生涯早期写的一篇论文，常被人忽略，也尚未译成英文，在此书中首次从荷文译成中文出版。虽然两个著作成文于两个不同的年代，但采用了两个相同原则来回应各类文化和思潮。虽然巴文克直到在《基督教世界观》中才构建一套完成的有机世界观，但是三一上帝的创造、救赎和完满贯穿了巴文克世界观思想的发展，阐明了基督教如何面对不同时代的世界观，以及如何回应此起彼伏的各种思想。

本书收录出自巴文克手筆的15篇文章，其中反复出现四个密切相关的主题：圣经信仰、启示和宗教；基督教与自然科学；基督教与人文科学；基督教与政治/社会伦理。巴文克在书中探讨宗教、教育、科学和社会等问题时，始终将创造当作上帝的启示来认真对待，同时也丝毫不减弱圣经启示对于理解创造的必要性。救赎并没有使我们脱离受造物，也没有将我们提升到受造物之上，而是医治和恢复破碎的受造物。这本论文集表明，好的神学并不限于个人敬虔和私人信仰，而是具有必要的公共维度。
