- iPad + Logos + BavinckJuly 2

While in the Dallas airport Friday I received a long-awaited email announcement that Reformed Dogmatics by Herman Bavinck was now ready for download into Logos Bible Software 4. There in a chair near my departure gate I downloaded the new books through a wifi card and spent the remainder of my travel day browsing and searching through RD in the sky.
A few days later my friend and gracious boss surprised me with a new iPad which added to the fun of the latest addition to my electronic library. The free Logos app for the iPad grants users access to just about their entire library. Together the iPad and the Logos app combine to create a highly portable library on the road. For a closer look at this recent fusion of the iPad, Logos, and Bavinck, here are three screenshots (click for larger):
- Bolt on BavinckMay 14

In anticipation of the release of Herman Bavinck’s Reformed Dogmatics as an ebook for Logos, Kent Hendricks asked leading Bavinck scholar John Bolt four questions:
- Who was Herman Bavinck?
- What is the mission and role of the Dutch Translation Society in translating the works of Bavinck and other theologians?
- The translation project took a decade to complete. Can you describe the process? What was your role in the translation and editorial process?
- You write in the introduction to Bavinck’s Prolegomena in volume 1 that “the Gereformeerd Dogmatiek represents the concluding high point of some four centuries of remarkably productive Dutch Reformed theological reflection,” including “Voetius, De Moor, Vitringa, van Mastricht, Witsius, and Walaeus.” How does Bavinck both reflect and develop the theological system of his predecessors?

- Review of Bavinck bioApril 21

Over at Feeding on Christ Joel Heflin has reviewed Ron Gleason’s new full-length Bavinck bio. Heflin concludes:
… Gleason has certainly captured the character and career of this essential theologian in a rare non-stuffy, non-boring lucid biography. We highly recommend this book especially to young pastors and seminarians worried about the great divide between the academy and the church, evangelism and a gospel-centered family. Gleason’s book is available May 31, 2010 from P&R Publications. Pray for hardcover.
