Beskrivning
This work uses historical and theological approaches to address a critical aspect of neo-Calvinism and studies focused on Herman Bavinck. Guerrero highlights the relevance of how an experiential fellowship with God helps to understand the holistic approach of Bavinck’s neo-Calvinism. Despite the considerable growth of research on Bavinck’s theology in recent years, there has yet to be a detailed investigation of the place of piety in Bavinck’s neo-Calvinism. This erudite work fills that gap in Bavinck’s studies, prompted by the reality that piety has been a significant element of the Reformed tradition from its earliest stages. For Bavinck, every human being has a feeling of divinity that is previous to all rational proof of God. However, humans need more than a general feeling of absolute dependence on God; they need a saving communion with the triune God revealed in the Scripture. Bavinck’s retrieval, and contextualization of Reformed piety can be helpful both for further scholarly understanding of Bavinck’s neo-Calvinism project, and for contemporary projects based on neo-Calvinistic ideas.

Recensioner i media

Israel Guerrero offers a compelling study of a frequently overlooked dimension of Herman Bavinck’s theology. With scholarly rigor and theological sensitivity, he demonstrates that, for Bavinck, as for Calvin and the best of the Reformed tradition, theology was never a merely intellectual enterprise but was directed toward the knowledge, worship, and enjoyment of the triune God. Guerrero shows that Bavinck’s vision of Christian piety reflects the historic Reformed conviction that sound doctrine and vital godliness are inseparable. Echoing Calvin’s pietas and the experiential richness of the Nadere Reformatie, Bavinck presents faith as a covenantal communion with God that transforms every sphere of life. Guerrero has rendered a valuable service by recovering a vision of Reformed piety that is both deeply rooted and strikingly relevant today.
