Description
Herman Bavinck looms large as one of the nineteenth century's greatest Christian thinkers, contributing much to modern Reformed theology. Yet, despite his theological prowess, Bavinck was first and foremost concerned with being "a worthy follower of Jesus." In this book, John Bolt-editor of the English edition of Bavinck's four-volume masterpiece, Reformed Dogmatics-brings the great Dutch theologian's life and work to bear on following Jesus in the twenty-first century, helping us see the direct connection between robust theology, practical holiness, and personal joy.
Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.
