For many it is a time for holidays, parties, family gatherings, gifts, meals together, music, and special events. For others it can mean unwanted pressure, an increased sense of loneliness, family squabbles, and crowded shops. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas takes place at the onset of winter with its cold weather and short days. There are more incidents of depression at Christmas time than at any other time of the year.

Until the dawn of our hyper-sensitive age, even the way we dated events underscored this. From time immemorial every day, every week, every month, every year has been described as either ‘B.C.’ (‘Before Christ’) or ‘A.D.’ (Anno Domini, ‘in the year of our Lord’). Even the modern, pluralistic style abbreviations, B.C.E. (‘Before the Common Era’) and C.E. (‘Common Era’), cannot obliterate the indelible impress of Jesus’ birth. For what makes the ‘Common Era’ so ‘common’? And what explains the dividing line date? The answer is the same: the birth of Jesus. At the very center of history stands the person of Jesus Christ.

It can be difficult to take in the fact that God knows us better than we know ourselves, and that his love is bigger than anything we have ever experienced, yet not out of reach. Just as at the airport when we see through our luggage on the x–ray, nothing is hidden from Him nor do we have to hide anything.

They would say, ‘What is the secret of this?’” As Christians, one of our greatest needs is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the beauty of Christ on display through us, all to the glory of the triune God. With this goal in mind, this series of booklets treats matters vital to Christian experience at a basic level. Each booklet addresses a specific question in order to inform the mind, warm the affections, and transform the whole person by the Spirit’s grace, so that the church may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Practical godliness begins when we see the relevance, beauty, and provision of God for all our thoughts, words, acts, and circumstances.

The apocalyptic warnings of the twentieth century have turned into the very real threats to human dignity that we face in our own times. Christians need the conviction and scholarship that Dr. Poythress brings to this book. One of the most important aspects of this volume is the author’s willingness to take on so many of the most vexing questions of our age, and to respond very clearly with biblical truth.”\u003cbr\u003e—R.

Questions of human identity, sexuality, and purpose are often disputed, but biblical understanding and wisdom regarding them are increasingly rare. Within this setting, Poythress’s latest book is a timely and welcome contribution. Poyth-ress provides a comprehensive, provocative exposition of a rich diversity of biblical themes concerning the nature and destiny of humanity within the triune God’s purposes in creation and redemption. Throughout the book, Poythress exhibits a rare combination of careful exegesis, methodological transparency, philosophical acumen, and pastoral sensitivity. His treatment of two important topics, the image of God and human freedom, offer especially constructive contributions to long-standing debates.”\u003cbr\u003e—Cornelis P.

Rather, structures are intrinsically multiple. God has \u003cem\u003ebuilt\u003c\/em\u003e in the multiplicity. The unity in one perspective is no more ultimate than the diversity expressed in several perspectives. Unity and diversity go together. Each points to the other, and neither is independent of the other. That is true in God. Subordinately, it is true in analyzing the world that God made. God’s world bears the imprint of the unity-in-diversity and the diversity-in-unity that characterize his nature.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout this book, Poythress demonstrates how we can use various threefold \u003cem\u003eperspectives\u003c\/em\u003e as complementary ways of looking at creation, without reducing it to any one perspective. To understand our Trinitarian world in a non-reductionistic manner, we must employ a multiperspectival approach—specifically a \u003cem\u003etriperspectival\u003c\/em\u003e one: that’s the key contribution of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Herman Bavinck considered that while the Trinity is unlike anything in the world, everything in the world is like the Trinity.

It is a followup to his splendid \u003cem\u003eThe Mystery of the Trinity\u003c\/em\u003e, in which he comprehensively lays out the Christian view of the Godhead. Here, he applies the Holy Trinity to understanding the creation, its unity, and its diversity.

This wonderful book resists that disappointing trend, building instead a deeply and distinctively Christian account of beauty and knowledge. Beginning with the Trinity, Vern Poythress shows us in his characteristically clear and incisive way how unity and diversity beautifully cohere for the Christian, and how God gives us different perspectives to understand the world. This is a book on Trinitarian thinking that demonstrates the rare virtue of being both practical and readable.

At the outset of that work, Bavinck set out that dogmatics is happiest in the company of its twin discipline, theological ethics. Dogmatics and ethics, respectively, show us \u003cem\u003ewhy \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003ehow \u003c\/em\u003ewe should love God.

Since its release, \u003cem\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/em\u003e has given a wide audience the chance to engage with a great Christian theologian on God and God's works of creation, salvation, and consummation. In \u003cem\u003eReformed Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e, we are invited to think with Bavinck about the concreteness of human life in the light and strength of God's deeds for us.

John Bolt and his accomplished team of translators and editors have added amazing value to Bavinck's recently rediscovered manuscripts in the field of moral theology. Their lucid translation, background studies, notes, and careful documentation of bibliographic sources used by Bavinck make this volume an invaluable background study on the history of theological ethics. Equally important, the book fills out our understanding of Bavinck the complete theologian. Working through it is an exhilarating eye-opener.\"\u003cbr\u003e—James A. De Jong, emeritus president and professor of historical theology, Calvin Theological Seminary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Recent decades have witnessed renewed interest in a genuinely theological ethics. Theology promises Christians a third way between an often simplistic and atomistic direct application of normative scriptural proof texts and a retreat into the theories of one or more philosophical-ethical schools. The publication of Herman Bavinck's ethics perfectly affirms that promise. Its deep anchors in both Scripture and the theological tradition and its surprising accents render it an important interlocutor and source of moral wisdom even today. For example, though Bavinck employs the concept of moral 'duties' and--like the Reformed fathers--concentrates on the Ten Commandments, his ethics is anything but one-sidedly deontological. His core concept is not 'acting' but 'living,' and the inclusion of spirituality in ethics engenders a much wider ethical scope than usual. Also remarkable is his continuous attention to the virtues and to the spiritual disciplines and the formational dimensions of the imitation of Christ. The editors and translators deserve our gratitude and appreciation for this important achievement. They have transformed a rich but almost inaccessible manuscript into a clear, readable, interestingly annotated, well-structured, and attractive book. I cannot wait for the next volume.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Ad de Bruijne, professor of ethics and spirituality, Theological University Kampen, The Netherlands\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Ethics is no marginal relative of doctrine and theology, as the letters of Paul bear eloquent witness. The translation of Herman Bavinck's \u003cem\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/em\u003e has been of major significance, and now it is followed, appropriately, by his \u003cem\u003eReformed Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e. It is wonderful that this work has been discovered, translated, and published. One of the great needs of our day is close attention to the 'theological' in theological ethics, and Bavinck does not disappoint in this respect, with his characteristic rigor and creativity. John Bolt and his colleagues have provided us with a fresh resource for theological and ethical reflection.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Craig G.

On the one hand, Bavinck sets forth a Christ-centered, Spirit-focused paradigm for ethics that accounts for the complexities of human nature amid the great story of creation, fall, and redemption. On the other hand, he manages to provide immensely practical and even devotional insights into dimensions of the Christian life that rarely receive the treatment they deserve, including the conscience, spiritual and moral pathologies, and practices of restoration and communion.
