Minister of the Word, shepherd and teacher the titles of Dutch pastors exude authority and prestige. In the course of the nineteenth century, however, their social position was slowly undermined by the separation of church and state, the emancipation of Catholics and dissenters, and the rise of all sorts of secular shepherds and teachers. This work of historical sociology analyzes the development of the profession of pastor in the Netherlands Reformed Church, focusing on pastors changing relationships with the state, the universities, other professions, and their own congregants. It paints a surprising, lively, and often humorous picture of nineteenth-century ecclesiastical and religious life, and of the many areas of Dutch society and culture where pastors made their mark in particular, the literary world.

Heinrich Coerper gehört zu den vergessenen Vätern des Gnadauer Verbandes. Nur als Gründer der Liebenzeller Mission blieb er im Gedächtnis. Dabei ist er ein wichtiger Vertreter der Heiligungs-, Heilungs- und Evangelisationsbewegung, einer der letzten großen Erweckungen. Sie brachte theologische Impulse aus der angelsächsischen Welt nach Deutschland. Coerper ebnete ihr in Süddeutschland den Weg. Er leitete eine Mission (nach Vorbild und Grundsätzen der China-Inland-Mission), die in China, Mikronesien, Papua-Neuguinea und Japan einen wichtigen Beitrag zur globalen Missionsbewegung leistete.

In partnership with the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, Baker Academic is proud to offer in English for the very first time the third volume of Herman Bavinck's complete Reformed Dogmatics. This masterwork will appeal not only to scholars, students, pastors, and laity interested in Reformed theology but also to research and theological libraries. "Bavinck was a man of giant mind, vast learning, ageless wisdom, and great expository skill. Solid but lucid, demanding but satisfying, broad and deep and sharp and stabilizing, Bavinck's magisterial Reformed Dogmatics remains after a century the supreme achievement of its kind."--J. I. Packer, Regent College "This magisterial work exhibits Bavinck's vast knowledge and appreciation of the Christian tradition. Written from a Reformed perspective, it offers a perceptive critique of modern theology. . . . Recommended."--Library Journal
