Reformed Theology

Here's my latest class..

The whole range of Christian doctrine—general and special revelation, God, creation and providence, the person and work of Christ, salvation, the church, and last things—are covered. Using Herman Bavinck’s Our Reasonable Faith as a basic text helps provide a strong biblical orientation within the framework of a Reformed doctrinal perspective since Bavinck’s one-volume work (originally Magnalia Dei) was intended as a more accessible summary of his magisterial four-volume Reformed Dogmatics. Now that the English translation of Bavinck’s larger work is available and can be used in the M. Div. Systematic theology courses (it is the foundation of Berkhof’s Systematic Theology), M. A. students will be receiving in abridged and summary form the same fundamental theological perspective as CTS’s M. Div students.

Any of my reformed brethren out there care to discuss Bavinck or Berkhof?

I like the Cardinals. Does that mean I'm Catholic?
