Publisher Synopsis
"This book is an excellent contribution to Brill's Studies in Reformed Theology series. I highly commend it, most especially to those with an historical-theological interest in Bavinck's work, or to those like myself whose interest is systematic-theological." Jonathan KingTrinity Evangelical Divinity SchoolDeerfield, Illinois, USA"Mattson's study is a proof of the fruifulness of the newer Bavinck study in English speaking countries. His rediscovery of the meaning of the covenant of works in Bavinck and in Reformed theology in general is particularly important. The discussion about the status integritatis is a lasting one and is again stimulated by that other discussion on the relation of creation and evolution. It would be good if the Reformed contribution through the doctrine of the covenant of works were taken into account in such discussions. Mattson's book can be very helpful in this."Barend KamphuisKampen Theological UniversityThe Netherlands Read more...
