Description

Our Reasonable Faith: A Survey of Christian Doctrine by Herman Bavinck, translated by Henry Zylstra.

This comprehensive treatment of Christian doctrine was first issued in 1909 under the title The Wonderful Works of God. It has served well as a synopsis of Bavinck’s larger, four-volume Dogmatics, for it presents in clear perspective all the fundamental doctrines of the Bible.

Above all, Bavinck was a thoroughly Scriptural theologian – he was always guided by the Bible as he systematized Christian truth. He remained a supreme apologist for Reformed Christianity and consistently exposed two inside threats to the Reformed Faith: formal orthodoxy and evasive piety.  At the same time he upheld true Christian optimism and affirmed that “the faith has the promise of victory over the world.”

Herman Bavinck was professor of theology at the Free University of Amsterdam
