Summary:

In the nineteenth century, history was becoming a science while at the same time, theology was vying for a place among the sciences and in the university. In the midst of these developments, theologians were grappling with how theology and history could relate. This book examines one such important Dutch theologian, Herman Bavinck, and explores the intersection between theology and history in his methodology by considering Bavinck's intellectual and historical context and then seeing how that context influenced his understanding of revelation, confession, and Christian consciousness.
