Review: Bavinck’s Theological Epistemology

“Sutanto’s highly organized work is presented in seven chapters with one to four sections each. Chapter 1, Re-reading Bavinck’s theological epistemology opens with a call to re-frame the scholarly literature according to Bavinck’s organic motif. This motif is more than an ‘organizing devise,’ says Sutanto” - Joel Heflin

Discussion

Bavinck is without doubt a theological colossus. Nobody writing today even approaches his erudition and importance. Having read a good chunk of his Reformed Dogmatics (4 vols), plus other works, Bavinck is for me the man to study if you want to advance as a theologian. Shame this study is so expensive, although Bavinck’s Prolegomena, Philosophy of Revelation, and Worldview give us enough of an understanding of his Biblically realist epistemology.
