Description
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.
Makes 19th-century Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck's important work accessible to a 21st-century, English-speaking audience for the first time
Translates a key text on the Christian worldview, one that has shaped evangelicalism today
Addresses important challenges for our day, including the discord between religion and culture, between science and life, and between thinking and doing
Edited by three Bavinck scholars
