Reformed Ethics (4 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Herman Bavinck’s four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. Leading Bavinck expert John Bolt edited that work, which has received wide acclaim. Now Bolt has edited a recently discovered manuscript from Bavinck, in print for the first time, which serves as a companion to Reformed Dogmatics.
Reformed Ethics follows the same method and explores the ethical and spiritual dimensions of key doctrines beyond those of Reformed Dogmatics. It mines the moral teachings of the early church and medieval and Puritan spirituality while addressing a variety of topics, offering scholars, pastors, and students Bavinck’s mature reflections on ethical issues.
This includes the newest volumes Reformed Ethics, vol. 3: Christian Life in Society and Reformed Social Ethics Perspectives on Society, Culture, State, Church, and the Kingdom of God. Both the new volume and this collection are scheduled to ship in April 2025.
