The English translation was edited by world-class Bavinck scholar John Bolt, who now brings forth a manuscript from Bavinck that is being published for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServing as a companion to \u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eReformed Ethics \u003c\/i\u003eoffers readers Bavinck's mature reflections on ethical issues. Volumes 1 and 2 have already been published. Volume 1 mines the moral teachings of the early church and medieval and Puritan spirituality while addressing a variety of topics. Volume 2 covers the duties of the Christian life and includes Bavinck's exposition of the Ten Commandments. This third volume addresses family, marriage, and divorce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the last decade, a global readership has enjoyed the theological and historical richness of Bavinck's \u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 \u003ci\u003ewhy \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ehow \u003c\/i\u003ewe should love God. For that reason, they belong together as 'related members of a single organism.' Since its release, \u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\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 \u003ci\u003eReformed Ethics\u003c\/i\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. For that, we owe the editor and translators a great deal.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eJames Eglinton\u003c\/b\u003e, New College, University of Edinburgh; author of \u003ci\u003eBavinck: A Critical Biography\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In addition to Bavinck's magisterial \u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e, we now have the complementary \u003ci\u003eReformed Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e. 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, 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--\u003cb\u003eJames A. De Jong\u003c\/b\u003e, Calvin Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ethics is no marginal relative of doctrine and theology, as the letters of Paul bear eloquent witness. The translation of Herman Bavinck's \u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e has been of major significance, and now it is followed, appropriately, by his \u003ci\u003eReformed Ethics\u003c\/i\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--\u003cb\u003eCraig G.
