Herman Bavinck

内容简介：赫尔曼-巴文克在教理学和伦理学领域的著作和贡献被众人所知，在改革宗群体内尤然。然而，他曾为牧者的经历常常被人忽略。即便在1902 年前往阿姆斯特丹自由大学任教后，巴文克仍积极参与教会的牧养工作，频繁参加讲道事工。巴文克对教会的委身贯穿了他一生，由此可知，牧者巴文克是我们全面了解巴文克不可或缺的元素。本书收集了巴文克的几篇论讲道和讲道者的短文、对领受圣餐前后的默想《颂赞为祭献上》，並《基督徒的家庭》著作。本書所呈现的牧者巴文克，能让我们窥见这位教理学家和伦理学家如何投身于教牧，并带着牧者的心肠从事神学研究，冀能使汉语神学研究者和牧者們有所启发。作者简介：现代荷兰改革宗神学大師赫尔曼-巴文克（Herman Bavinck）于1880年从荷兰莱顿大学（Leiden University）获得神学博士学位，以一篇阐释瑞士改教家慈运理伦理学的博士论文开始他的神学研究生涯。1882年，巴文克被荷兰基督教归正教会全国总议会任命为坎彭神学院教授，並于 1902 年接替亚伯拉罕-凯珀成为阿姆斯特丹自由大学系统神学教授。《荷兰新加尔文主义》丛书主编：陈佐人博士（美国西雅图大学神学与宗教研究系副教授）、曾劭恺博士（浙江大学哲学系百人计划研究员 "ZJU 100 Professor"）、徐西面博士（英国爱丁堡大学神学院哲学博士）

内容简介：本卷为三卷集的第一卷，让读者有机会接触到巴文克1883/1884年至1902年秋季，在坎彭神学院（Theological School in Kampen）为学生们所讲授的改革宗伦理学的课程。尽管这部作品在方法上与巴文克的四卷本巨著《改革宗教理学》完全相同，而且有迹象表明巴文克可能打算最终出版这部作品，但他并未如此行，只留下了1100页的手稿。巴文克所留下的手稿在他于1921年逝世后，一直尘封，直到2008才被学者发现和重视。毫无疑问，此著作面世对全球巴文克研究起到了极大的推动。学者借此得以更好地全面了解巴文克的思想。此中译本乃结合荷文原版和英译本之优点。在英译的基础上，编辑根据荷文原版校对译稿，修正了英译本中超过150项翻译错误或不准确之处，另外根据荷文版补充了126处注解说明。然而，中译本全部采纳了英译本所添加的经文内容，方便读者阅读。此外，一些译名也经过挑选，以符合巴文克提倡的基督教大公性的精意。作者简介：现代荷兰改革宗神学大師赫尔曼-巴文克（Herman Bavinck，1854-1921）于1880年从荷兰莱顿大学（Leiden University）获得神学博士学位，以一篇阐释瑞士改教家慈运理（Ulrich Zwingli，1484-1531）伦理学的博士论文开始他的神学研究生涯。1882年，巴文克被荷兰基督教归正教会全国总议会任命为坎彭神学院教授。《荷兰新加尔文主义》丛书主编：陈佐人博士（美国西雅图大学神学与宗教研究系副教授）、曾劭恺博士（浙江大学哲学系百人计划研究员 "ZJU 100 Professor"）、徐西面博士（英国爱丁堡大学神学院哲学博士）

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.

Herman Bavinck's four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. Leading Bavinck expert John Bolt edited that work, which has received wide acclaim. Now Bolt brings forth a recently discovered manuscript from Bavinck, in print for the first time, which serves as a companion to Reformed Dogmatics. Reformed Ethics mines the moral teachings of the early church and medieval and Puritan spirituality while addressing a variety of topics, offering readers Bavinck's mature reflections on ethical issues. This book is the first of three planned volumes.

A series of lectures given by Bavinck when he was invited by Princeton Theological Seminary to speak. He focuses on the different theories of Revelation and stresses the importance of different avenues of the revealing of God to man. The biggest claim is that we cannot make sense of the world around us without making the time to understand how God's revelation applies to us. These lectures are just as relevant today as they were when Bavinck first gave them.

Herman Bavinck, the premier theologian of the Kuyper-inspired, neo-Calvinistic revival in the late-nineteenth-century Netherlands, is an important voice in the development of Protestant theology. This volume, now in paper, is the capstone of his distinguished career.

The collection presents his mature reflections on issues relating to ethics, education, politics, psychology, natural science and evolution, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion. Pastors, students, and scholars of Reformed theology will value this work.
