Herman Bavinck’s Works of Systematic Theology
Bavinck’s Reformed Dogmatics (4 Volumes)
"Arguably the most important systematic theology ever produced in the Reformed tradition. I have found it to be the most valuable. English-speaking theology throughout the 20th century until now has been singularly impoverished by not having at its disposal a translation of Bavinck's Dogmatiek in its entirety. The appearance of these volumes will be an incomparable boon for generations of students, pastors, teachers, and others, serving to deepen understanding and enrich reflection in both historical and systematic theology." —Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., professor of biblical and systematic theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

Reformed Dogmatics: Abridged
"After bringing Bavinck's magisterial Reformed Dogmatics to an English-speaking audience, John Bolt has crowned the effort with this abridgment that will surely make the work accessible to a wider audience. For his commanding breadth of learning in biblical, systematic, historical, and philosophical theology as well as the rich depth of his exegetical and doctrinal insights, Bavinck stands out as the most important Reformed theologian of the nineteenth century. With Bolt's footnotes, obscure figures and debates are explained and their contemporary significance noted. This volume is a gift and a treasure, offering us one of the richest veins in the history of dogmatics."—Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary California

The Wonderful Works of God
“Herman Bavinck’s theology has been the fountainhead of Reformed thinking for over a century. His four-volume Dogmatics, recently translated into English, is a huge blessing to the church. Now his shorter theology, The Wonderful Works of God, is available in English again, in a new edition with study helps, and I could not be happier. This should be the anchor of every theological library.” — John M. Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary (emeritus)

Herman Bavinck Biographies
Bavinck: A Critical Biography
"In James Eglinton, Herman Bavinck has the biographer he so richly deserves, his own Scottish James Boswell. Using fresh archival sources, Eglinton provides new insights into the man, the churchman, and the thinker who was, alongside Abraham Kuyper, the most important figure in the revival of Dutch Calvinism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through careful historical research Eglinton places Bavinck in his broader intellectual and spiritual context as a modern person and effectively challenges some of the oft-repeated myths about him and his secession Christian Reformed community. This will be the definitive Bavinck biography for generations." —John Bolt, Calvin Theological Seminary (emeritus)

Herman Bavinck: Pastor, Churchman, Statesman, and Theologian
“Drawn from many years, including studies and pastoral ministry in the Netherlands, this biography fills a gaping hole. It is surprising that we’ve waited so long for a thorough and well-written account of the life and work of such a towering Reformed theologian, but it was well worth the wait! You don’t even have to be a Bavinck fan to enjoy this read, but it will probably make you one. More than that, it points us all to the God who blessed us through this servant.” -- Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Theology, Westminster Seminary California

Some Other Works to Check Out
Herman Bavinck on Preaching and Preachers
“It is too rare to have a world-class theologian telling and showing us how to preach, but here we have the great Herman Bavinck doing so. His discussion in Eloquence in Herman Bavinck on Preaching & Preachers is remarkably nuanced, where he calls for a combination of theological substance with moving eloquence, as well as solemnity and unction. What he said a century ago is no less true now: Preaching is, at present, out of touch with the time and does not meet its needs. This volume will help us face the challenge of preaching in our own age.” —Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City

The Christian Family
"Those who know and love Herman Bavinck as the magisterial theologian and author of the Reformed Dogmatics, will enjoy the change of pace in this biblically rich and historically aware theology of marriage and family. While they might not share all of Bavinck’s applications, contemporary readers will be rewarded by a sympathetic reading. They will be challenged on precisely the issues that threaten the family today because Bavinck applied biblical wisdom to his own prescient reading of trends in Western culture and society. They will also be encouraged because Bavinck so obviously loved the family and celebrated it in hope. A great read for those who are married or contemplating marriage and family." —John Bolt, Professor of Systematic Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary, Editor, Bavinck’s Reformed Dogmatics
