Readers have been drawn to Bavinck for his faithfulness to the Reformed tradition while also engaging the questions of 19th-century Europe. Far from simply revisiting the older dogmatic systems, Bavinck faithfully engages modern trends like historical-criticism, the epistemological problems raised by Kant, the rationalism of the \u003ci\u003ephilosophes\u003c\/i\u003e, and the radical changes ushered in through the French and European revolutions.\u003cbr\u003eThe question then is, was Bavinck orthodox, modern, or \u003ci\u003eboth\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOrthodox yet Modern\u003c\/i\u003e, Cory C. Brock argues that Bavinck acts as a bridge between orthodox and modern views, insofar as he subsumes the philosophical-theological questions and concepts of theological modernity under the conditions of his orthodox, confessional tradition. By exploring the relation between Bavinck and Schleiermacher, \u003ci\u003eOrthodox yet Modern \u003c\/i\u003epresents Herman Bavinck as a theologian eager to engage the contemporary world, rooted in the catholic and Reformed tradition, absorbing the best of modernity while rejecting its excesses. Bavinck represents a theologian who is at once orthodox, yet modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cory C.
