Nathaniel Gray Sutanto offers a fresh reading of Herman Bavinck's
theological epistemology, and argues that his Trinitarian and
organic worldview utilizes an extensive range of sources. Sutanto
unfolds Bavinck's understanding of what he considered to be the two
most important aspects of epistemology: the character of the
sciences and the correspondence between subjects and objects.
Writing at the heels of the European debates in the 19th and 20th
century concerning theology's place in the academy, and rooted in
historic Christian teachings, Sutanto demonstrates how Bavinck's
argument remains fresh and provocative. This volume explores
archival material and peripheral works translated for the first
time in English. The author re-reads several key concepts, ranging
from Organicism to the Absolute, and relates Bavinck's work to
Thomas Aquinas, Eduard von Hartmann, and other thinkers. Sutanto
applies this reading to current debates on the relationship between
theology and philosophy, nature and grace, and the nature of
knowing; and in doing so provides students and scholars with fresh
methods of considering Orthodox and modern forms of thought, and
their connection with each other.
