5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Dogmatics Now Complete
By Mike Robinson on November 17, 2009
Format: Hardcover
This magnificent and towering work was first published from 1895-1899, and Gereformeerde Dogmatiek has inspired many of the most important Reformed theologians and apologists of the 20th and 21th centuries. It now comes in a four volume set, from Baker in partnership with the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, and contains GD in English for the first time in its totality. Masterful, outstanding, and comprehensive.

Apologist Cornelius Van Til admitted his debt to the scholarship and insights of Bavinck; Van Til stated: "Bavinck shows us that if we are to have a truly broad foundation for the concept of Christian dogmatics, we must begin with a discussion of the general principles of knowledge. He points out that the absolutely self-conscious God is the source of all human knowledge. " Van Til: IST, Sigward 1949.

Greg Bahnsen demonstrates his esteem for Bavinck's work and quotes him in his article: For Whom Was God's Law Intended? Biblical Worldview 4:12 (December, 1988).

"This is one of those seminal works that embodies a significant portion of our Reformed theological heritage. We all should rejoice to see this material finally available in English!"(Samuel T. Logan, Westminster Theological Seminary).

Herein is all four volumes of Herman Bavinck's complete Reformed Dogmatics. WSB: "This masterwork will appeal not only to scholars, students, pastors, and laity interested in Reformed theology but also to research and theological libraries.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBeneficial for education as well as devotion
By NarrowPathWalker on June 20, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Reformed Dogmatics by Bavinck is an extremely desirable resource for individuals who want a practical, thorough, and systematic treatment of Reformed theology. He writes from a thoroughly Christo-centric paradigm, illuminating the redeeming character of the triune God. God to Bavinck is a God who condescends towards us and provides a means for us to receive forgiveness and redemption. Given the richness of Reformed Dogmatics, it would be helpful for the reader to have a least a prior basic understanding of topics found with in systematic theology before engaging this set. In other words, this set is not the best introduction to systematic theology. But coupled with something on a more introductory level such as Grudem's Systematic Theology or Berkhof's Systematic Theology, one would greatly benefit from Reformed Dogmatics.

5.0 out of 5 starsA tremendous dogmatics
By Brendan Knox on May 26, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Over the past couple months I have slowly worked my way through the four volume Reformed Dogmatics of Herman Bavinck. While I have yet to finish the fourth volume of this massive work I can safely say that this is one of the finest works on Christian Theology I have ever read. I would recommend that any who have an interest in knowing their faith in a deeper way take it upon themselves to work through these volumes. Those who take the time to study these volumes will be richly rewarded with a deeper knowledge of the great God we serve.

For those who are not familiar with Herman Bavinck, he is a Dutch Reformed theologian who lived from the mid 19th-century to the early 20th-century who was a Professor of Systematic Theology at the Free University of Amsterdam (VU) in the Netherlands. Bavinck was friends with Abraham Kuyper who invited Bavinck to the VU to teach theology. Bavinck has had a wide influence upon the Reformed church in the Netherlands with his dogmatics being published early in the 20th-century. Until a couple years ago, the Reformed Dogmatics was available in its totality only in Dutch. Now, thanks to Baker Academic, the whole work is now available in English having been translated by the late John Vriend and edited by John Bolt of Calvin Theological Seminary.

The fourth volume was published in 2008 making the whole set available to the English-speaking world. There are a number of reasons that Bavinck's work is so valuable to students of theology. The first reason is that Bavinck's work is eminently Scriptural. Bavinck recognizes the need for theology to be based upon the Word of God and while Bavinck is philosophically rigorous he achieves a careful balance between speculative theology and not going beyond what the Scriptures teach on any particular subject.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starschallenging
By K. Dunn on July 14, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I have heard many people recommend Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics for pastors and those in ministry. But as a layperson, some of my friends suggested I read more "practical" books. Yet I have found this rich theological work to be incredibly practical for my life. The wonderful reason for this is that it is difficult to read Reformed Dogmatics and keep your faith in a compartmentalized, comfortable fashion. Bavinck, by writing in a way that glorifies and reveres the Lord, implicitly but very effectively challenges you to do the same.

If you are looking for weightier or more profound endorsements, then find the book at Westminster Theological Seminary's online bookstore and see the endorsements listed there. I cannot recommend this work too highly.
