Living as we are in the post-Enlightenment age, many Christians (including those in the theological guild) are far more influenced by the skepticism of modernism and postmodernism than they are ready to admit. It is for this reason that such a refreshing corrective—in this profound treatise on the certainty of the Christian faith—is as necessary for the twenty-first century church as it was when Bavinck first penned it. Describing the nature of faith, which lays hold of God revealed in His Word as the ultimate authority for belief and life, Bavinck shows that true faith is an experiential reality that provides lasting peace for the believer in the face of pain, suffering, death, and uncertainty, for it satisfies the deepest longings of the human soul that science and scholarship (wetenschap) can never satisfy. Taking us back to a Reformational, almost premodern epistemology without discounting the value of modern science, Bavinck shows how God’s Word answers the ‘why’ questions that science, with its emphasis on the ‘what’ and ‘how,’ can never answer.

As believers, we find certainty in God and his Word, and the certainty of faith is the “from which” we proceed in Christian living and thinking—it’s the root, never the fruit, of our own efforts. Since Bavinck would bid us to rest in God and his revelation, he would warn us away from seeking rest in our own experience of God and his revelation. Instead, resting in God’s promises, Christians can assess challenges to Christian faith from the perspective of faith. They can also live Christian lives that explore the consequences of faith rather than in a ceaseless pursuit of obtaining faith. Bavinck reminds us that believers belong to God and to his Christ.

The modern quest for certainty and assurance is, in reality, the quest for this rest. Here is where Bavinck yet again proves to be a prophet for our time. Authentic certainty, he explains, is related to but distinct from the concerns of objective truth. We are more than our mental grasp of objective facts. True certainty is ours only as we come to rest ultimately in God himself as he gives himself in his Gospel.
