We made it! In the last chapter of Herman Bavinck's 'The Wonderful Works of God' we cover the topic of eternal life. What happens when we die? What will the second coming of Christ be like? Are Heaven & Hell real? In this episode, we explore how Bavinck answers these questions.

“When it comes to theologians that contemporary church leaders should be reading, I don't know of a more important one than Herman Bavinck.” So says Timothy Keller in his endorsement of James Eglinton's 2020 book Bavinck: A Critical Biography. Keller first read Bavinck some 50 years ago in class with Roger Nicole at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. But not much of Bavinck's voluminous work has been translated until recent years. So, we live in a renaissance of appreciation for this Dutch theologian who died in 1921.Probably no one is more responsible for this renaissance than Eglinton, the Meldrum senior lecturer in Reformed theology at the University of Edinburgh. He also serves as a fellow for The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. In this special season of Gospelbound, we're exploring in depth several key influences that appear in my book Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. James Eglinton and I discussed neo-Calvinism, whether he disagrees with Bavinck about anything, a beginner's reading list, and Eglinton's upcoming projects. You'll find few high-level academics who can match Eglinton's gift for clear thinking and teaching, as you'll hear in this interview.

What does it mean for Christ to reign over every sphere of life? Many Christians relegate faith to "spiritual" activities, such as reading the Bible, going to church, and praying. However, the Christian tradition—and especially the Reformed tradition—can guide Christians in everything from personal ethics to politics to raising chickens. In this episode, Dru talks with Jessica Joustra, Assistant Professor of Religion and Theology at Redeemer University, about the ideas of Reformed thinkers Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck (as well as the ways that they draw on John Calvin). As Protestants, these men wanted to capture a faithful, traditional, and thorough way of reading the Bible; as 19th-century men, they strove to live as Christians in the modern world, both through public theology and through active participation in politics. The Reformed tradition offers rich ways of thinking about law, vocation, systemic sin, economics, and even America's contemporary political structures, all while remaining rooted in Scripture's conceptual world. Jessica Joustra is an Assistant Professor of Religion and Theology at Redeemer University and Associate Researcher at the Neo-Calvinist Research Institute of the Theologische Universiteit Kampen. She teaches in the areas of Reformed theology and ethics, and has contributed to several works centered around Bavinck and Kuyper. Most recently, she and her husband (Robert Joustra) released Calvinism for a Secular Age: A Twenty-First Century Reading of Abraham Kuyper's Stone Lectures.

How do we engage unreligious people and get them to respond to the claims of Christ? Dr. Dan Strange of Crosslands Forum joins us to discuss “magnetic points” and how we can “make our faith magnetic.” The conversation covers the work of J. H. Bavinck, cultural apologetics, what we can learn from the experiences of Christians in the UK, the subversive nature of our faith, how the gospel both offends and connects, and much more. Plus, we discover how Dr. Strange is more like the superhero of the same name than you might think. (The conversation begins at 4:21.)

Episode Notes Dutch Reformed Theologian Herman Bavinck has been broadly influential to many of today's seasoned pastors and theologians. His work on the Revelation of God and Reformed Dogmatics became standard fare for seminarians decades ago. Even still, much of his work has yet to be translated into English. One theologian and translator working to bring more of Bavinck's work to the English-speaking church is the University's own Dr. Gregory Parker Jr. Most recently, Dr. Parker translated _What is Christianity? _which broadly and succinctly explains Christianity in Bavinck's day, tracing the history of Christian doctrine and church life from its origins into the early 20th century.   In this podcast, Dr. Parker and Dr. Keith Plummer, dean of the School of Divinity, discuss Bavinck's legacy and influence and offer him up as one who has much insight to provide to any thoughtful Christians seeking to use theology to serve the church and engage with the issues of our day.

A presentation titled “Theology's ‘Gardner': Yielding the Fruit of Bavinck's Theological Encyclopedia” by Dr. Gregory Parker. This talk was delivered at the 2022 National Convivium hosted at Davenant House in Landrum, SC. Dr. Parker received his Ph.D. in systematic theology at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of James Eglinton. He joined the Cairn University, School of Divinity faculty in 2022. His dissertation focuses on the relationship between the dogmatics and ethics of the 19th century Dutch Reformed theologian, Herman Bavinck. He also played lacrosse for the University of Edinburgh. He teaches courses in systematic theology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including Triune God, Narrative of Redemption, and Life and Calling.

This is a Keynote Seminar titled “Bavinck: Personality and Worldview” presented and led by Dr. James Eglinton. This talk was delivered at the 2022 National Convivium hosted at Davenant House in Landrum, SC. More information on Dr. Eglinton can be found in the description of the audio of the Keynote Address of the 2022 National Convivium. In this talk Dr. Eglinton discusses the little known contributions of another Bavinck, J. H. Bavinck and his influence on theology and philosophy of his time.

What exactly does Christ accomplish in his resurrection, ascension, & sending of the Holy Spirit? In this Third Wednesday Theology episode we discuss Chapter 18 of Bavinck's 'The Wonderful Works of God.'

Leah Boyd the "Sassy Seminarian" @LeahBSassy joins us to talk about her faith journey and love for theology, specifically Bavinck. 

Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.In this special bonus episode we are joined by Dr Gregory Parker Jr for a chat about all things Bavinck. If you have been listening to our show for a while, you will have heard "Bavinck" mentioned several times. But who was Bavinck exactly? And why does Cam talk about him so much? Join us as we unpack the life and theology of Bavinck (and his contemporaries like Kuyper), discuss Greg and Cam's translations of Bavinck's works, and talk about the relevance of his works for the church today. Dr Gregory Parker Jr is the Assistant Professor of Theology at Cairn University, Pennsylvania, USA. He completed his PhD in Systematic Theology at the University of Edinburgh and has worked with Cam on several translations of Bavinck's works.In Season 2, we'll be going over each book of the Bible, bringing out the big ideas, themes, and implications for the life and mission of the church.Thoughts, questions or feedback?

In this interview we sit down with Richard Gaffin, author of “An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of Acts and Paul - In the Fullness of Time” (Crossway) where I pepper Dr Gaffin with every question under the sun in regards to neo-Calvinisim (and its drift to liberalism), Kuyper & Bavinck (and translations), Geerhardus Vos (was he a neo-Calvinist?), Ridderbos (did he cave to liberalism?), Romans 7 (is it a Christian speaking or pre-Christian?), the fact that Pentecost is more than just a blip in the history of redemption (but one of the most important scenes), what the Christian life is made of (“Christ is both the means and the end”), and much more. Pro Rege!

Why are Law/Gospel distinctions practical? Tune in to hear what Herman Bavinck has to say about this crucial topic.

In this episode, Joseph talks to Cam Clausing and Gregory Parker about a couple recent Bavinck translations, and much else besides.

In 1904, the same year Herman Bavinck published Christian Worldview, Bavinck published a book titled Christelijke wetenschap (Christian Science) in which he commented on a movement to “build science . . . on the foundation of the Christian faith.” Cory Brock joins us to speak about this book and Bavinck’s views on the subject.

How does Christ's humiliation deepen our love & worship for Him? Why is it important to understand that Christ's life was not merely a model for human life but a substitutionary sacrifice? These are some of the questions we explore in this Third Wednesday Theology episode where Bob discusses chapter 17 of Bavinck's 'The Wonderful Works of God.'

We have covered a couple of key items already: the word “tradition,” and the apostolic nature of the great tradition. Here, we situate the great tradition in relation to Scripture.

Join us for a conversation with Michael Allen, Professor of Systematic Theology at RTS Orlando, on the beatific vision - the Christian teaching that the goal of human existence is to 'see God'. In recent years, the neo-Calvinist tradition has faced critical questioning on the richness of its handling of this important doctrine. In this week's episode, we discuss those critiques, particularly in relation to Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics.

Getting at the Fundamentals via a Survey of History Today we are joined with Greg Parker Jr., editor and translator of the recently released book from Herman Bavinck called “What is Christianity?”

No mere theories. No lofty principles to form society... Just get to Church "The Cultural Mandate" - who said it first? Of course the idea was there in both Kuyper and Bavinck, but who coined, and helped further nuance, it? Indeed you know and love/hate, Kuyper, you are familiar with Bavinck, and you glean from Vos and Berkouwer... but who is Klaas Schilder (1890 - 1952)? Listen in as we are joined with Marinus De Jong, co-editor (along with Richard Mouw and George Harinck) of "The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings", as we discuss this oft-forgotten, yet monumental, second generation Neo-Calvinist.

An episode on the occasion of the publication of the Klaas Schilder Reader. A Neo-Calvinist Bonhoeffer, a "loyal opposition in the Neo-Calvinist tradition", "a theology for the trenches of life". Who was this second generation neo-Calvinist? How did he differ from Kuyper and Bavinck?

Greg Parker Jr. has recently translated two of Bavinck's essays which has recently been published with Hendrickson Publishing Group under the title What is Christianity. Greg joins us on the podcast to talk about Bavinck's purpose in writing these two essays, where they fall into the rest of Bavinck's corpus, what Bavinck sees as the essence of Christianity, how the subjective side of Christianity permeates all of life and culture, and closing with a reason why Pastor's should read this work.

What's wrong with the world? This is the question that nearly every religion or belief system tries to answer. As Christians, we believe that sin is the answer to that question. In this Third Wednesday Theology episode, we tackle chapter 13 of The Wonderful Works of God, in which Bavinck helps us think deeply about sin & death.

In this episode, John and Dylan discuss chapter two of Bavinck's, The Wonderful Works of God. Bavinck in this chapter speaks of the knowledge of God and how it is distinguished from other forms of knowledge. The knowledge of God is distinct from other knowledge in its origin, object, essence, and effect.

The Wonderful Works of God is Bavinck's handbook for Reformed Theology that he wrote for the ordinary Christian. In this episode, John and Dylan introduce the book and talk about how it is immensely devotional and Christ centered. As we study the work of God, we are moved to wonder and awe. Bavinck's book reminds us of this and takes us along on a journey to consider these wonderful works. Bavinck writes, “I wish to give a simple explanation of the Christian faith in a book of modest scope, as confessed by the Reformed Churches.” You can purchase the book here

In this episode, we discuss preaching and neo-Calvinism. Many evangelicals turn to neo-Calvinism in search of resources for cultural life beyond the church, but overlook its significance in how we think about preaching. By its emphasis on the redemptive-historical reading of Scripture, neo-Calvinism connects us to an ancient way of reading and preaching from the Bible. Added to this, its deeply Augustinian anthropology helps us understand the people who hear our preaching. Together, these emphases offer resources for preachers as those who exegete the Bible and the human soul. Join us as we discuss how those ideas have shaped how we preach in our distinct cultural contexts: Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and Jackson.

We continue our conversation about Herman Bavinck with Gayle Doornbos and Gray Sutanto. How did Bavinck's intellectual curiosity show in his writing? How did he work to produce and rearticulate Reformed theology for his own context? How did he wed orthodox theological confession with modernist and scientific movements of his day? What can pastors and theologians learn from how Bavinck on how to engage with others' ideas and writing? How can pastors unfamiliar with Bavinck's work begin to explore what he's written?

In this episode, we talk with Leah Boyd (Twitter: @LeahBSassy) about music, liturgy, and theology. Because of its rich theology of culture, neo-Calvinism is often assumed to be a resource for Christianity outside of the church. Less well known is the liturgical tradition produced by Bavinck and Kuyper, which is distinctly neo-Calvinistic in its attempts to progress ancient liturgical practices into the modern age. How does the tradition help us think through what churches sing, and how they sing it?

We discuss the life and thought of Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck in part 1 of this conversation with CPT fellows Gayle Doornbos and Gray Sutanto. What was Bavinck's ecclesial context? How did political dynamics in the Netherlands influence his life, and how do these movements related to the broader Reformed movement, Calvinism, and its popular understanding within American evangelicalism? Gayle serves on the faculty of Dordt University and Gray serves on the Faculty of Reformed Theological Seminary.
