About the book

Originally published in Dutch in 1909 as Magnalia Dei, this book is Herman Bavinck's popular-level distillation of his monumental four-volume Reformed Dogmatics, written for the ordinary church member rather than the seminary student alone.

Despite its accessible language, it retains Bavinck's characteristic depth, moving through the doctrine of God, creation, the covenant, the person of Christ, and the Christian life with the same theological architecture as his larger work — but within reach of any reader.

Reviews

The reappearance of this volume is most welcome... Here is a book that belongs in the libraries of every church, pastor, teacher, and student of theology.

Richard B. Gaffin, Jr.
Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary

You don't read Bavinck. You drink Bavinck.

Michael Horton
J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

A good dose of Herman Bavinck is exactly what contemporary Evangelicalism needs... robustly biblical, intellectually fearless, and world-engaging.

Joel R. Beeke

This should be the anchor of every theological library.
