Overview

Herman Bavinck, the premier theologian of the Kuyper-inspired, neo-Calvinistic revival in the late nineteenth-century Netherlands, is an important voice in the development of Protestant theology. Essays on Religion, Science, and Society offers an outworking of Bavinck's systematic theology as presented in his acclaimed Reformed Dogmatics and engages enduring issues from a biblical and theological perspective. The work presents his mature reflections on issues relating to ethics, education, politics, psychology, natural science and evolution, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion. This capstone of Bavinck's distinguished career, and his most significant remaining untranslated work, is now available in English for the first time.
