This volume presents the core of Bavinck’s thought and offers explanatory material, making available to a wider audience some of the finest Dutch Reformed theology ever written.

For his commanding breadth of learning in biblical, systematic, historical, and philosophical theology as well as the rich depth of his exegetical and doctrinal insights, Bavinck stands out as the most important Reformed theologian of the nineteenth century. With Bolt’s footnotes, obscure figures and debates are explained and their contemporary significance noted. This volume is a gift and a treasure, offering us one of the richest veins in the history of dogmatics.

I have Bavinck's 4 volume print edition that I purchased while in seminary. This abridged version in Logos in wonderful as a reading plan to refamiliarize myself with his dogmatic work. If I have need to delve into a particular topic I can go to the 4 volume print edition. This is a wonderful systematic theology text!
