What Does One Make of Christ? This is the vital question Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) posed over a hundred years ago and still presents to us today. This volume includes Bavinck's "Christianity" (Het Christendom) from 1912, as well as his earlier essay "The Christian Faith" (Het Christelijk Geloof) from 1883, both of which are published here for the first time in English. In these writings, his constant focus is on Jesus as the center, object, and very essence of the Christian faith. After sketching out a brief historical and theological account and introducing the basic tenets of the faith, he lands ultimately on that all-important question: What do we make of Christ? This book is his way of helping us find the only answer that can provide rest for our restless souls. Book jacket.
