The Last Things

Hope for This World and the Next

by Herman Bavinck

The first of two standalone monograph translations the Dutch Reformed Translation Society issued from Bavinck's Gereformeerde Dogmatiek before undertaking the complete four-volume Reformed Dogmatics — his treatment of eschatology: death and the intermediate state, the return of Christ, final judgment, the identity of Israel, universalism, and the renewal of creation. Co-published in the UK by Paternoster Press under a separate ISBN (0853647615).

Notes
Covers ground that overlaps with the eschatology material later re-translated as part of Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 4: Holy Spirit, Church, and New Creation (2008), though as an earlier, independent translation rather than the same edition.
