"Like Augustine, Calvin, and Edwards, Bavinck was a man of giant mind, vast learning, ageless wisdom, and great expository skill, and to have these volumes now in full English is a wonderful enrichment. Solid but lucid, demanding but satisfying, broad and deep and sharp and stabilizing, Bavinck's magisterial "Reformed Dogmatics" remains after a century the supreme achievement of its kind."--J. I. Packer, Regent College

"Finally Bavinck becomes available to the English-speaking world. The Dutch version has shaped generations of theologians and helped them to preach, think, and act on a fresh, Reformed basis. The strength of Bavinck's dogmatics is that it's neither conservative nor progressive, but its biblical character makes it constantly up-to-date. Baker Academic and the Dutch Reformed Translation Society deserve praise for this project, from which without doubt church and theology will profit for years to come."--Herman Selderhuis, Theologische Universiteit Appeldoorn

"What a wonderful gift to the English-speaking theological world! The topics explored by Bavinck are still of the utmost importance, and he addresses them here in a theological voice that is amazingly fresh."--Richard J. Mouw, president, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Pastors and theologians will welcome the historic first complete translation of Herman Bavinck's "Reformed Dogmatics," . . . This masterful theological work is now available to passionate students of theology."--R. Albert Mohler Jr., Preaching

"Arguably the most important systematic theology ever produced in the Reformed tradition. I have found it to be the most valuable. English-speaking theology throughout the twentieth century until now has beensingularly impoverished by not having at its disposal a translation of Bavinck's "Dogmatiek" in its entirety. The appearance of this volume will be an incomparable boon for generations of students, pastors, teachers, and others, serving to deepen understanding and enrich reflection in both historical and systematic theology."--Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

In partnership with the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, Baker Academic is proud to offer in English for the very first time all four volumes of Herman Bavinck's complete "Reformed Dogmatics." This masterwork will appeal not only to scholars, students, pastors, and laity interested in Reformed theology but also to research and theological libraries.

How can we attune ourselves to God's grace? It always takes a lifetime to do - and this is because God wants it so. When first surprised by grace, people speak of a 'conversion'. Some consider this the end of the journey. Those familiar with spiritual development realize that conversion is merely the beginning of an ongoing process. Throughout our lives God's grace continues to draw us and help us turn ever and again back to him and his great, guiding love. Cistercian abbot Andre Louf writes of the power of faith, growth through testing, contrition of heart, spiritual companionship, prayer and the fruits of the spirit. Andre Louf is abbot of the cistercian monastery of Katzberg (Mont-des-Cats), France.

Bavinck's approach throughout is meticulous. As he discusses the standard topics of dogmatic theology, he stands on the shoulders of giants such as Augustine, John Calvin, Francis Turretin, and Charles Hodge. This masterwork will appeal to scholars and students of theology, research and theological libraries, and pastors and laity who read serious works of Reformed theology.
