Herman Bavinck showed that othodox theology continues to speak
authoritatively today. Since the English translation from Dutch of
Herman Bavinck's magisterial 4-volume Reformed Dogmatics, there has
been a blossoming interest in Bavinck's theology. Readers have been
drawn to Bavinck for his faithfulness to the Reformed tradition
while also engaging the questions of 19th-century Europe. Far from
simply revisiting the older dogmatic systems, Bavinck faithfully
engages modern trends like historical-criticism, the
epistemological problems raised by Kant, the rationalism of the
philosophes, and the radical changes ushered in through the French
and European revolutions. The question then is, was Bavinck
orthodox, modern, or both? In Orthodox yet Modern, Cory C. Brock
argues that Bavinck acts as a bridge between orthodox and modern
views, insofar as he subsumes the philosophical-theological
questions and concepts of theological modernity under the
conditions of his orthodox, confessional tradition. By exploring
the relation between Bavinck and Schleiermacher, Orthodox yet
Modern presents Herman Bavinck as a theologian eager to engage the
contemporary world, rooted in the catholic and Reformed tradition,
absorbing the best of modernity while rejecting its excesses.
Bavinck represents a theologian who is at once orthodox, yet
modern.
