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.
- Makes 19th-century Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck's important work accessible to a 21st-century, English-speaking audience for the first time
- Translates a key text on the Christian worldview, one that has shaped evangelicalism today
- Addresses important challenges for our day, including the discord between religion and culture, between science and life, and between thinking and doing
- Edited by three Bavinck scholars
