Gereformeerde Dogmatiek. Tweede Deel.

A theological treatise written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work is part of a larger series focused on Reformed dogmatics. The book delves into the complexities of Christian theology, particularly exploring the nature of God, the incomprehensibility and knowability of the divine, and the relationship between God and creation. The opening of this volume begins with editor's notes establishing the faithfulness of the text's presentation, including corrections to earlier editions. Bavinck’s work then progresses into a detailed discussion of the inaccessibility of God's essence as a foundational concept in dogmatics, asserting that human understanding is inherently limited when contemplating the divine. The author highlights various theological traditions that emphasize God's transcendence and the mysterious aspects of divine revelation, setting the stage for a deep exploration of the attributes of God in the chapters that follow.
