What a blessing to have Bavinck’s brilliance passed down to us in a new English edition. The translation is elegant, and the historical introduction immensely valuable. Most of all, Bavinck’s insights—on everything from sacraments to shame—are edifying in the truest sense of the word. There are lessons here that will help parents, children, educators, pastors, students, new Christians, and seasoned saints.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSacrifice of Praise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a gem.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eKevin DeYoung\u003c\/b\u003e, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e“I’m not sure why we (including myself) tend to think that dead theologians have little to say in regard to our current concerns, or that their writing will be dense, difficult to understand, or simply uninteresting.

He proceeds from unity to diversity—on where the Christian church agrees to the areas where it differs. It is apologetic and evangelistic, ecumenical and Reformed, and historical and theological in scope. In this succinct book, Bavinck traces the history of Christian doctrine and life, distinguishing the East from the West, and then focusing on the West through the Reformation to the twentieth century. Both at the beginning and the end of the book, he places before the reader what he deemed the most important religious and theological question of the day: Who is Jesus?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“It is no small task which Dr. Bavinck has undertaken, to tell in sixty-two small pages all that Christianity is, and that, in a series in which it is brought into comparison with other ‘great religions’. He has fulfilled this task, however, in a most admirable manner. His method is, first, to point out what all Christians are agreed upon; and then to give an historical account of Christianity in its origins and it its progressive manifestations in the great forms of the Orthodox Eastern, the Romish, the Lutheran, Reformed Churches, with further descriptions of the forms it has taken since, in Anabaptism and Socinianism, and the New Protestantism rooted in the Enlightenment. His plan thus resolves itself into an informal sketch of the historical development of Christianity. This sketch is written with remarkable grasp of details and an equally remarkable power of synthesis. We cannot imagine how the work could be done better.” —B.B.

Living as we are in the post-Enlightenment age, many Christians (including those in the theological guild) are far more influenced by the skepticism of modernism and postmodernism than they are ready to admit. It is for this reason that such a refreshing corrective—in this profound treatise on the certainty of the Christian faith—is as necessary for the twenty-first century church as it was when Bavinck first penned it. Describing the nature of faith, which lays hold of God revealed in His Word as the ultimate authority for belief and life, Bavinck shows that true faith is an experiential reality that provides lasting peace for the believer in the face of pain, suffering, death, and uncertainty, for it satisfies the deepest longings of the human soul that science and scholarship (wetenschap) can never satisfy. Taking us back to a Reformational, almost premodern epistemology without discounting the value of modern science, Bavinck shows how God’s Word answers the ‘why’ questions that science, with its emphasis on the ‘what’ and ‘how,’ can never answer. Now presented afresh to the English-speaking world, this treatise is sure to become a staple in the growing corpus of ably-translated Bavinck literature that has blossomed, for good reason, in recent decades.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-object\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eJoel Beeke\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChancellor and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, and pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation, Grand Rapids, Michigan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"triangle-border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Certainty of Faith is a multum in parvo (much in little).
