Reformed Dogmatics by Herman Bavinck

I can't believe no-one (including me!) has suggested Herman Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics. Newly translated, this 4 volume set hardly ever mentioned without the adjective "magisterial". Recommendations and endorsements come from:

John Frame - "by far the most profound and comprehensive Reformed systematic theology
of the twentieth century"
Richard B. Gaffin - "the most important systematic theology ever produced in the Reformed
tradition"
Samuel T Logan - "seminal"
Donald K. McKim - "one of the premier Reformed theologians... his magnum opus"
Al Mohler - "a masterful theological work"
Jim Packer - "the supreme achievement of its kind"
Sam Waldron - "difficult to overstate the pleasure and satisfaction with which I read it"

Not reformed - by a long shot, but would certainly add this to my library.

Blessings,

That's great. I did do a search for it, honest! Obviously someone's forgotten to fill in the 'author' field!

While in college, I lived among a number of students that came from a reformed (Presbyterian, actually) background. I even married one of them. But they did challenge me to study the scriptures, and when I did, I found myself leaning more toward the Wesleyan/Armenian position. While attending Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (sponsored by the Evangelical Free Church), I became even more convinced of my Wesleyan convictions.

For four years after seminary I served Wesleyan and Free Methodist churches. Though I began the process of ordination within both the Free Methodist and Wesleyan churches at that time, I never completed the process as I began teaching Computer Science (only a hobby at the time) for 24 years - in a Wesley (4 yrs), a state college (5 yrs), a Reformed Church college (6 yrs), and a Free Methodist college (9 yrs). After completing three units of CPE (anybody remember those days?), I began to seek ordination within the Wesleyan Church. Though ordained with the Wesleyan Church, my last eight years of ministry have been spent serving a United Methodist churches (one for 7-1/2 years, the other for one month [:)]).

Regardless of my theology, I am most committed to the God who sent His Son to save me. You can find out more about me by checking my blogs:

PastorFloyd.blogspot.com
Pastor-Patrick.blogspot.com

The second name is derived from a neckname one of our teens gave me after misunderstanding someone calling "Pastor". For whatever reason, the name stuck and now is locked into the name of my blog.

By the way, I did add Bavink to my Pre-Pub list.

Blessings,

Floyd

Not true.

Trust me on this Mark, after much crying, pleading and writing to some key people in Logos. I am sure they decided to offer it to keep me quiet, better put happy[:)]

Someone in Logos was key in making this resource available. Thanks to that someone again, i am glad for your help in making Herman Bavinck see the light of day in Logos.

Hello,

Has anyone heard any updates on the status of the Bavinck pre-pub? I'm eagerly awaiting the release and am hoping to be able to use it for my thesis research this semester. I pre-ordered about six months ago but haven't seen any projected release dates, etc., since then. Should I expect the release to be any time soon?

Well it is out! And I am happy.
