Description

“When the intoxication in which we so often and so long live has passed, when joy is silenced and the conscience is awakened, when the mystery of life or the pain of suffering overtake us—then the thought of death and the grave, of judgment and eternity, impresses itself upon every mind; then none can persevere in their indifference or continue to hide behind a shield of neutrality. In this respect, men are better than we are sometimes inclined to think; there are no atheists, no men without heart or conscience. Or, to put it more accurately, God does not leave himself without a witness to anyone. Whether in the form of blessings or trials, God speaks to the conscience of each and every person.” - from Bavinck's introduction.

Originally published in Dutch in 1901 and first translated into English in 1980, this new edition—beautifully rendered by Daniel Schrock with assistance from Albert Gootjes—captures the clarity, conviction, and theological depth of Herman Bavinck’s original work.

With a fresh foreword by Sinclair Ferguson and a thoughtful introduction by Daniel Schrock, this edition invites a new generation of readers to rediscover a timeless classic—one you’ll want to revisit often and share widely. In a world marked by uncertainty, Bavinck’s insights offer enduring assurance rooted in Christ alone.
