Just picked this up at 1/2-price books for $3.50. Anyone read this?
Amazon doesn't have any reviews of it so I don't know what to think of my find!

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

He does a good job in showing the uniqueness and importance of a "public theology."
His section on Theonomy/Theocracy was terrible. In fact, he refutes himself in the next chapter by allowing for it after he had argued against it!
It is an interesting book and one that reflects well on the American scene. A few years later, John Bolt got drilled by J. Budidzsewksi in this book.
