| Summary: | The long-awaited publication of Gereformeerde ethiek/Reformed Ethics by Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) is a landmark publication that sheds light on the range, scope, and development of the thought of this important Reformed theologian. Nevertheless, Bavinck's Ethics does not make the kind of contribution to moral theology that his magnum opus has made to systematic theology. In many places, it conveys the impression of a draft that lacks the qualities which have earned Reformed Dogmatics such high praise. Moreover, Bavinck's Ethics reflects positions which he would later revise or reject. This review article contrasts the Dutch critical edition with the first volume of the English translation, offering an analysis of Bavinck's conceptualization of this theological subdiscipline. |
