Crucial themes and issues explored by a premier missiologist Johan
Herman Bavinck (1895-1964) was a prominent twentieth-century Dutch
Calvinist missiologist who wrestled with the tension between
religious absolutism and relativism, as many Christians do in
today's pluralistic context. The J. H. Bavinck Reader gathers
together a choice selection of Bavinck's significant writings that
are essential for understanding his theology of missions, his
approach to world religions, and his religious psychology. His
treatment of religious consciousness and Christian faith expands on
the brief treatment of it in his own work The Church Between Temple
and Mosque. The concluding chapters show how Bavinck's theoretical
reflection on religious consciousness was rooted in his close
observation during his years as a missionary in Indonesia. Offering
a constructive way forward, Bavinck affirms both the particularity
of salvation in Christ and the universality of the Christian hope.
A substantial introduction enhances the book with the most thorough
biographical sketch of Bavinck available.
