Herman Bavinck authored this popular work as a compendium or synopsis of his classic four-volume Reformed Dogmatics. In the preface, Henry Zylstra noted, Our Reasonable Faith is less technical, less exclusively professional, more popularly intended than the Dogmatics, and is more fully supported by Scriptural reference and annotation, but it is, like the larger work, a book of basic Christian dogma." Bavinck clearly presents the fundamental doctrines of theology, providing a practical handbook of theology and serves as an outstanding comprehensive statement of Christian faith and doctrine. Many who utilize Bavinck's more extensive Reformed Dogmatics will profit from having this additional resource as it enables quick reference to the doctrine or passage under consideration and then move to the more extensive treatment in the larger work.
