The Philosophy of Revelation

by Herman Bavinck

Overview

A series of lectures given by Bavinck when he was invited by Princeton Theological Seminary to speak. He focuses on the different theories of Revelation and stresses the importance of different avenues of the revealing of God to man. The biggest claim is that we cannot make sense of the world around us without making the time to understand how God's revelation applies to us. These lectures are just as relevant today as they were when Bavinck first gave them.

After theological study in Kampen, and at the University of Leiden, he graduated in 1880, and served as the minister of the congregation at Franeker, Friesland, for a year. In 1882, he was appointed Professor of Theology at Kampen, and taught there from 1883 until his appointment, in 1902, to the Chair of Systematic Theology in the Free University of Amsterdam, where he succeeded the great Abraham Kuyper. Bavinck served until his death in 1921.
