James Eglinton on Herman Bavinck: Tim Keller's Formation

In his book, Bavinck: A Critical Biography, James Eglinton explores the life and work of the 1920s Dutch Theologian, Herman Bavink, of whom Timothy Keller says, “When it comes to theologians that contemporary church leaders should be reading, I don’t know of a more important one than Herman Bavinck.” James Eglinton is a senior lecturer in Reformed theology at the University of Edinburgh and also serves as a fellow for The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. In this special season of Gospelbound, we’re exploring in depth several key influences that appear in Collin Hansen’s book Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. In this episode of Gospel Bound, Eglinton and Hansen discuss neo-Calvinism, whether he disagrees with Bavinck about anything, a beginner’s reading list, and Eglinton's upcoming projects.
