Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction
Discover the rich theology of Neo-Calvinism.
Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck sparked a theological tradition in the Netherlands that came to be known as Neo-Calvinism. While studies in Neo-Calvinism have focused primarily on its political and philosophical insights, its theology has received less attention.
In Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction, Cory C. Brock and N. Gray Sutanto present the unique dogmatic contributions of the tradition. Each chapter focuses on a distinct theological aspect, such as revelation, creation, salvation, and ecclesiology. Neo-Calvinism produced rich theological work that yields promise for contemporary dogmatics. This book invites readers into this rich theological trajectory.
"This book is the sign that [Neo-Calvinist] theology has now passed beyond the Dutch fairway. It has reached the international waters." --George Harinck
Cory C. Brock is minister at St. Columba's Free Church of Scotland in Edinburgh and adjunct lecturer in theology at Edinburgh Theological Seminary and Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi. He is the author of Orthodox Yet Modern: Herman Bavinck's Use of Friedrich Schleiermacher and co-editor of the T&T Clark Handbook on Neo-Calvinism.
N. Gray Sutanto is assistant professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., and the author of God and Knowledge: Herman Bavinck's Theological Epistemology of God. He is an associate fellow at the Neo-Calvinism Research Institute.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“So many of us have learned about neo-Calvinism through one thinker such as Abraham Kuyper or Herman Bavinck or J.H. Bavinck or Klaas Schilder, but here we are presented with it as a whole tradition with many rich variations and dimensions. [...] Highly recommended.”
Timothy Keller
pastor emeritus, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City; author, The Reason for God
“We have long known that we needed a proper theological treatment of neo-Calvinism, but with this volume we have been blessed with far more. Sutanto and Brock have not only provided a truly valuable guide to a notoriously unwieldy and complicated program; they have done so in a way that captures something of neo-Calvinism’s abiding theological freshness, culturally attuned wisdom, and refreshingly candid commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord of all. A uniquely important, invigorating book that should be read and reread for many years to come.”
Mark Garcia
associate professor of systematic theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
“This is a book that has long been needed. Finally, it's here!”
Nicholas Wolterstorff
Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale University
“This is a much-needed reintroduction to neo-Calvinism in our day and age, when misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and misapplications of neo-Calvinism abound in Christian as well as non-Christian communities worldwide.”
Alex Shao Kai Tseng
research professor, School of Philosophy, Zhejiang University
“Gray Sutanto and Cory Brock provide readers with a state-of-the-art introduction to the theological agenda of neo-Calvinism. I highly recommend it. ”
Oliver Crisp
principal of St. Mary’s College; head of the School of Divinity, University of St. Andrews
“At last we have a thoroughly theological introduction to neo-Calvinism! Those who are new to this stream of thought could have no better guide. Those who are acquainted with neo-Calvinism will find this sure-footed account of key loci in Kuyper and Bavinck to be a richly helpful resource.”
Suzanne McDonald
professor of systematic and historical theology, Western Theological Seminary
“Essential reading for all students of Reformed theology.”
James Eglinton
Meldrum Senior Lecturer in Reformed Theology, University of Edinburgh
“Cory Brock and Gray Sutanto serve as able guides in reintroducing the witness and wisdom of these two theological giants, Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, and the catholic force of their effort to take every thought captive to Christ. Take and read of what they saw and said and of what we may be called to hear and herald, too.”
Michael Allen
John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
