Orthodox Yet Modern
$28.99
Herman Bavinck showed that othodox theology continues to speak authoritatively today.
Since the English translation from Dutch of Herman Bavinck’s magisterial 4-volume Reformed Dogmatics, there has been a blossoming interest in Bavinck’s theology. Readers have been drawn to Bavinck for his faithfulness to the Reformed tradition while also engaging the questions of 19th-century Europe. Far from simply revisiting the older dogmatic systems, Bavinck faithfully engages modern trends like historical-criticism, the epistemological problems raised by Kant, the rationalism of the philosophes, and the radical changes ushered in through the French and European revolutions.
The question then is, was Bavinck orthodox, modern, or both?
In Orthodox yet Modern, Cory C. Brock argues that Bavinck acts as a bridge between orthodox and modern views, insofar as he subsumes the philosophical-theological questions and concepts of theological modernity under the conditions of his orthodox, confessional tradition. By exploring the relation between Bavinck and Schleiermacher, Orthodox yet Modern presents Herman Bavinck as a theologian eager to engage the contemporary world, rooted in the catholic and Reformed tradition, absorbing the best of modernity while rejecting its excesses. Bavinck represents a theologian who is at once orthodox, yet modern.

How do you move forward during these seasons? How do you deepen your faith? Along with the ancient wisdom of seventeenth-century Brother Lawrence’s classic and beloved The Practice of the Presence of God, Faith Eury Cho helps you understand:
*How to be fueled by an authentic relationship with God
*How to wrestle with the tension of believing He is with you even when you cannot feel Him or understand what He is doing
*How God is enough through revisiting Israel’s journey in the wilderness and Paul’s experience in prison
*What tools you can use to deepen your intimacy with God
*What a life that is centered around His Presence looks like
Cho equips and heightens your confidence to simply go to Jesus and build a genuine friendship. By fostering this relationship with Jesus, you won’t have to wonder about feeling God’s presence. It is a life-changing pursuit because we were designed to know Him. If knowing God is your purpose, then every season of our lives will have significance-even the wilderness.
