Christianity and Science (Hardback) by Herman Bavinck, N Gray Sutanto, James Eglinton and Cory C Brock

This companion to theologian Herman Bavinck's Christian Worldview explores Christianity's contributions to Higher Education

After writing his well-known book Christian Worldview, Dutch Calvinist theologian and scholar Herman Bavinck focused his attention on how the Christian faith benefits higher learning, particularly religious studies, natural sciences, and the humanities. Christianity and Science explores the pros and cons of Christian science and features brief, informative sections on the natural sciences, the humanities, theological science and religious studies, the doctrine of revelation, the benefits of Christianity for scholarship, and what it means to develop a Christian university. Responding to the challenges of the modern age, Bavinck recognizes the significance of faith in education.

Edited and translated in English for the first time by N. Gray Sutanto, James Eglinton, and Cory C. Brock, this fundamental work will inspire Christian teachers, practitioners, and seminarians in their pursuits.

- Foundational Text on Christian Education: Analyzes how faith shapes various disciplines of higher education, with a section highlighting the construction of the Free University of Amsterdam in 1880

- Comprehensive: Each short section is packed with important information on the natural sciences, the humanities, and more

- Ideal for Educators, Students, and Practitioners: Considers holistic ways to teach future generations in a world that's resistant to Christianity
