Bavinck and a Christian View of Science
In 1904, the same year Herman Bavinck published Christian Worldview, Bavinck published a book titled Christelijke wetenschap (Christian Science) in which he commented on a movement to "build science . . . on the foundation of the Christian faith." Cory Brock joins us to speak about this book and Bavinck's views on the subject.
Dr. Cory C. Brock is assistant minister of St. Columba's Free Church and adjunct lecturer in theology at Edinburgh Theological Seminary. He is the author of Orthodox yet Modern: Herman Bavinck’s Use of Friedrich Schleiermacher and co-author of Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction.

Always exciting when one of the “Bavinck Boys” stops by.
We need a full “grace in common” and “reformed forum” crossover, maybe even series.
Walter Martin used to say that it was "Mary Baker Patterson Glover Eddy, she was married a few times."
What is Neo Calvinism?
If Bavinck held that we move from metaphysics to science, back to metaphysics... Dooyeweerd makes clear that we move from concrete pretheoretical experience (grounded in supratheoretical religious experience) to theory in 'metaphysics' to science, and certainly back to 'metaphysics'.
