THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD: Instruction in the Christian Religion according to the Reformed Confession
HERMAN BAVINCK (1854–1921), Introduction by R. Carlton Wynne
**LIMITED QUANTITY AT THIS LOW PRICE**
**JUST 1 COPY STILL IN STOCK***
110 years after its original publication, The Wonderful Works of God remains one of the finest single-volume systematic theologies ever written. Adapting the magisterial systematic theology found in his four-volume Reformed Dogmatics, this is perhaps Bavinck’s most eminently practical work – a single, accessible volume for the college classroom and the family bookshelf. Previously published in America as Our Reasonable Faith, this book has had a deep and lasting influence on the growth and development of Reformed theology. It is the publisher’s hope that in its new form, this book continues to astonish readers with the wonderful works of God, and provide a deeper knowledge of their triune God.
Included in this new, hardcover edition:
A new, insightful Introduction by R. Carlton Wynne
Updated typesetting of the classic Zylstra translation
The translator’s 1956 Preface
Bavinck’s original Foreword, previously unavailable in English
A comprehensive, student-friendly scripture and subject index

ENDORSEMENTS
“The reappearance of this volume is most welcome. As Bavinck’s own abridgement of his monumental Reformed Dogmatics, it not only serves as an important and helpful introduction to that larger work but also provides brief and valuable treatments in their own right of the matters dealt with in its twenty-four chapters. Here is a book that belongs in the libraries of every church, pastor, teacher, and student of theology.” -Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary
“Bavinck’s Magnalia Dei is much more than a helpful abridgement of his four-volume Reformed Dogmatics. All the topics of the larger work are here but Bavinck recasts Christian doctrine in an intentionally biblical-theological, pastoral-pedagogical mode that reads devotionally, speaking directly to the heart as well as the mind. Bavinck, the master teacher, takes readers into the full range of rich Reformed theology but in a manner that makes it accessible to all. No specialized training is needed to understand and appreciate this work—a great introduction to the Reformed tradition for church study groups and college classes.” -John Bolt, Jean and Kenneth Baker Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus, Calvin Theological Seminary
“Herman Bavinck gave the modern church a theology of the living God. His four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is an abiding treasure for pastors and theologians. The Wonderful Works of God is more than an abridged version of Reformed Dogmatics—it is a fresh restatement of the same truths clothed in plain language for popular use. May God use it to infuse scriptural, Reformed Christianity into the heads and hearts of many people.” -Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
“Herman Bavinck’s theology has been the fountainhead of Reformed thinking for over a century. His four-volume Dogmatics, recently translated into English, is a huge blessing to the church. Now his shorter theology, The Wonderful Works of God, is available in English again, in a new edition with study helps, and I could not be happier. This should be the anchor of every theological library.” -John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary
“Reading Bavinck is like listening to one of those fine, rare sermons that manages to be biblically rich, theologically sophisticated, spiritually uplifting—and clear. This fresh, new edition is a wonderful gift to the church, making the riches of Bavinck accessible for a wider audience to enjoy.” -Michael Reeves, President and Professor of Theology, Union School of Theology
Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) succeeded Abraham Kuyper as Professor of Theology at the Free University of Amsterdam. With the recent translation into English of his four-volume Reformed Dogmatics there has been a renewed appreciation for this deeply intelligent mind committed to the importance of the church.
