Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction

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 is an indispensable primer on the most generative and influential version of “neo-Calvinism,” the modern Dutch version that stems from the theological writings of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck. Comprehensive yet concise, it is the best place to start for those who need an introduction to the orthodox yet modern, theological yet secular work of the most important Calvinist intellectuals of the last two centuries.’ Douglas A. Sweeney, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
