  Herman Bavinck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) was born in the town of Hoogeveen in the Netherlands.
So, Bavinck, when he was first invited to join the VU Faculty, had to weigh the merits of teaching what concerned him in his thoelogical research, in such a seemingly independent environment.
Bavinck's was primarily an inductive mind; Kuyper's primarily deductive." One major difference in ideas between Bavinck and Kuyper is formulated largely in theological terms contrasting a doctrine called "Common Grace" with a doctrine called "the Antithesis." Bavinck emphasized Common Grace, while Kuyper emphasized (sometimes severely) the Antithesis.

Herman Bavinck’s Doctrine of the Sacraments of the Church
Bavinck traces a threefold manifestation of this departure from Scripture in the Roman Catholic Church.
By this definition, Bavinck concludes that a sacrament is a vow of faithfulness, an oath that obliges to the worship of Christ.

Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) was the leading theologian of the nineteenth century Dutch Calvinist revival.
Bavinck was a profound Christian and a superb Reformed theologian.
Herman Bavinck was born December 13, 1854, at Hoogeveen in the Netherlands, in the province of Drenthe, where his father, Jan Bavinck, was a pastor and leader in the 'Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk.' That denomination seceded in 1834 from the Hervormde Kerk, the state church of the Netherlands, because of its theological liberalism.

 A Place for Truth Studies - Bavinck
Bavinck begins his book by saying “Mystery is the vital element of Dogmatics.” He means not mystery in the abstract-supernatural truth in the Romish sense; but the study of God is immediately for man a mystery.
Bavinck says: “Religion and the knowledge of God can have their origin only in revelation…It is impossible for God fully to reveal himself to and in his creatures, for the finite does not grasp the infinite” (Mt. 11:27; cf.
Bavinck writes: “From the very beginning [of the history of the Church] it is clear that the Trinitarian dogma was not born of philosophic reasoning concerning the being of God, but of earnest meditation upon the facts of revelation, upon the person and work of Christ.”

Bavinck wants the missionary to preach the whole Christ in all the riches of his work as mediator, but this must be done in such a way that it touches the hearer and the actual situation.

 Reformed Dogmatics, Vol. 1: Prolegomena by Herman Bavinck
Bavinck is one of the premier Reformed theologians, but till now much of his magnum opus has not been accessible to English-language readers.
Bavinck is confessionally orthodox, but he recognizes the need to rethink the traditional formulations from Scripture in the context of contemporary discussion.
Bavinck's Dutch masterwork was the Everest of which the textbooks by Louis Berkhof and Auguste Leoerf were foothills and Berkouwer's studies in dogmatics were outliers.

Bavinck regarded the controversies surrounding the doctrine of the Lord’s Supper among the Reformers as a truly saddening conflict.
It is clear that Bavinck had formulated his view on the Lord’s Supper in dependence on Calvin—as he states in the first edition—and did not change his position throughout his theological development, as far as I have been able to ascertain.
Bavinck here emphasizes that the Lord’s Supper—even though an appendix which depends upon the Word and cannot be administered without being accompanied by the Word—is an exceedingly important facet of the Christian’s life.

 Bavinck, Hoeksema and Schilder-The Herman Hoeksema and Klaas Schilder debate page 33
Bavinck went on to study in several major European Universities, and in time became a close friend of Dr. Abraham Kuyper, working with him to bring together the Afscheiding (Secessionists) and the Doleantie (Aggrieved) into the new Reformed (Gereformeerde) denomination.
Their theological backgrounds and outlooks were different, but Bavinck was convinced that they could work together for the good of the Reformed faith, and to the glory of God.
It was only that, with his clear and analytic mind, he came to focus on what he considered to be the underlying fault in it all, Kuyper’s theory of Common Grace by which he was excusing this bringing the thinking of the world into the church of God.

Bavinck displays remarkable familiarity with the scientific currents of his time, and even though his understanding of turn-of-the-century geology is partially flawed, his analysis of the issues of the antiquity of the Earth, evolution, the deluge, death before the Fall, and the nature of humans is, nevertheless, full of important insights.
Bavinck was a first-rate theologian who speaks here to issues that are as timely today as they were a century ago.
Bavinck shows the implications of a Biblically-based view of creation in relationship to the thoughts of other scholars both Christian and non-Christian.

Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) was a contemporary and close associate of Abraham Kuyper.
Bavinck's three major divisions - the intermediate state, the return of Christ, and the consummation - have been retained but the work has been divided further into seven chapters as well as chapter subsections.

 The Last Things, by Herman Bavinck
The article on Herman Bavinck in the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology (Walter Elwell, ed.) praises his “broad grasp of the history of theology and his notable philosophical capacity.” Most notable is the fact that Amsterdam’s prince of theologians is praised by Princeton’s own great theologian, B. Warfield.
That the reign of Christ is for Bavinck the real subject of eschatology, rather than sanctification, glorification, and tribulation is seen in his statement: “Eschatology....is rooted in Christology and is itself Christology, the teaching of the final, complete triumph of Christ and his kingdom over all his enemies” (122).
We wish that Bavinck would have been more definite in his opposition to universalism when he comes to the matter of the salvation of pagans and of infants outside of the covenant who die in infancy.

After theological study in Kampen, and at the University of Leiden, he graduated in 1880, and served as the minister of the congregation at Franeker, Friesland, for a year.
In 1882, he was appointed a Professor of theology at Kampen, and taught there from 1883 until his appointment, in 1902, to the chair of systematic Theology in the Free University of Amsterdam, where he succeeded the great Abraham Kuyper, then recently appointed Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

For that reason many continued to favor supralapsarianism although the rights of infralapsarianism were at the same time recognized inasmuch as the latter view had been embodied in the confession of the churches, was zealously and ably defended by many theologians, and was usually placed in the foreground in the preaching of the Gospel.
In this capacity — an appointment he had twice before declined — Bavinck served until his death in 1921.

However, as the editor of this volume points out, there is much more to the Christian doctrine of creation than scientific battles about origins and the age of the earth.
To Herman Bavinck, the doctrine of creation, affirming the distinction between the Creator and his creature, is the starting point of true religion.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
All of this, Hoekema tells us, Herman Bavinck distinctly rejected; and several provincial synods struggled with its propriety.
Heyns to Herman Hoeksema in his schooldays, he rejected as emphatically as had Bavinck in his day, which in turn did much to prepare him for the struggle with the Christian Reformed view of Common Grace, permeated as it was with this "Heynsian" scheme of thought.

Often overlooked Southern Presbyterians, like James Hall Brookes, L. Nelson Bell, and Robert McQuilken, are also finally given some long overdue attention.
While I have occasionally been disappointed by the exclusion of certain American Presbyterians (especially disappointing since some non-Americans are included; e.g., Herman Bavinck, Abraham Kuyper), I have more often been surprised to find helpful entries in this volume on persons and subjects that I could not find elsewhere.
Under 300 pages, one should not look to this volume to be an exhaustive reference tool.
