‘Bavinck: A Critical Biography,’ with Dr. James Eglinton
Dr. James Eglinton makes his Mere Fidelity debut to discuss all things Bavinck with Derek and Alastair (leaving Matt a bemused spectator).
Dr. James Eglinton from the University of Edinburgh joins us to discuss the great theologian Herman Bavinck. Dr. Eglinton just released Bavinck: A Critical Biography. The conversation ranges from a deep exploration of Bavinck’s polymathic tendencies to the very basics of where to begin learning about him.
