The French Revolution was the scene of much intellectual and social
upheaval. Its impact touched a wide range of subjects: the
relationship of the church to the state, social relationships,
science, literature, fashion, philosophy and theology. Although the
French Revolution's momentum was felt across Europe and North
America, it met a particularly interesting response in the
Netherlands, at that time the scene of a burgeoning neo-Calvinist
movement. In that context, the likes of Groen van Prinsterer,
Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck responded to the French
Revolution's ideals and influence in a variety of intellectual and
practical ways.This book approaches that Dutch response from a
range of historical and theological perspectives, and in so doing
explores the relationship between the French Revolution and the
development of neo-Calvinism. Beginning with historical portraits
of Bavinck and Kuyper in relation to the Revolution, the
perspectives offered also include, amongst others, the place of
multilingualism in neo-Calvinism and the Revolution, neo-Calvinist
and Revolutionary approaches to fashion, a dialogue between
Kuyperian theology and Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, and a
contemporary neo-Calvinist critique of French laicite. This book
forms part of a wider Project neo-Calvinism supported by the
Theologische Universiteit Kampen and the VU University Amsterdam.
This book explores the organic motif found throughout the writings
of the Dutch Calvinist theologian Herman Bavinck (1854-1921).
Noting that Bavinck uses this motif at key points in the most
important loci of theology; Christology, general and special
revelation, ecclesiology and so forth; it seems that one cannot
read him carefully without particular attention to his motif of
choice: the organic. By examining the sense in which Bavinck views
all of reality as a beautiful balance of unity-in-diversity, James
Eglinton draws the reader to Bavinck's constant concern for the
doctrine of God as Trinity. If God is the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit, Bavinck argues, the creation must be more akin to an
organism than a machine. Trinity and organism are thus closely
linked concepts. Eglinton critiques and rejects the 'two Bavincks'
(one orthodox and the other modern) hermeneutic so commonplace in
discussions of Bavinck's theology. Instead, this book argues for a
reunited Herman Bavinck as a figure committed to the participation
of historic orthodox theology in the modern world.

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.
2020 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (History &
Biography) 2020 For the Church Book Award Dutch Calvinist
theologian Herman Bavinck, a significant voice in the development
of Protestant theology, remains relevant many years after his
death. His four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most
important theological works of the twentieth century. James
Eglinton is widely considered to be at the forefront of
contemporary interest in Bavinck's life and thought. After spending
considerable time in the Netherlands researching Bavinck, Eglinton
brings to light a wealth of new insights and previously unpublished
documents to offer a definitive biography of this renowned Reformed
thinker. The book follows the course of Bavinck's life in a period
of dramatic social change, identifying him as an orthodox Calvinist
challenged with finding his feet in late modern culture. Based on
extensive archival research, this critical biography presents
numerous significant and previously ignored or unknown aspects of
Bavinck's person and life story. A black-and-white photo insert is
included. This volume complements other Baker Academic offerings on
Bavinck's theology and ethics, which together have sold 90,000
copies.
