The Life and Thought of H. Bavinck

RTS Washington, D.C. Faculty Podcast 2020

October 5, 2020 • James Eglinton

Episode 29: Dr. James Eglinton joins us to discuss his recent book on Herman Bavinck. Though sometimes presented as a "Jekyll and Hyde" figure (the modern Bavinck and the orthodox Bavinck), Eglinton argues that Bavinck was a comprehensive, organic, and wholistic thinker, integrating the Christian worldview into every area of life. We touch on politics, education, anthropology, and his relationship with Vos and Kuyper.

We touch on other miraculous births in the Bible, the Magnificat, Mary as theotokos, and Jesus’ qualifications as our Savior. Merry Christmas!

Episode 39: We return to our series on the Apostles’ Creed, rounding into the Christmas season with a discussion of the Spirit's work in the conception, birth, life, and death of our Lord. The Spiritual conception of Jesus is more than just proof that he is a Divine person—it does that, but it is also the climactic moment in which God fulfills his promise to be with his people in a new and and perfect way.
