- Today we welcome Cory C. Brock and N. Gray Sutanto to speak about their book, Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction (Lexham Academic), which is an excellent initiation and explication of neo-Calvinism as a nineteenth- and early twentieth-century movement in the Netherlands. It was “a revival of Reformed confessionalist theology in the Netherlands roughly beginning with the rise of Kuyper as a theology, with the founding of the Vrije Universiteit in 1880, the formation of the Gereformeerde Kerken in 1892, and its systematization in the theological output of Herman Bavinck (p. 4).”
Cory C. Brock is minister at St. Columba’s Free Church of Scotland in Edinburgh and adjunct lecturer in theology at Edinburgh Theological Seminary and Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi. Heh is the author of Orthodox yet Modern: Herman Bavinck’s Use of Friedrich Schleiermacher.
N. Gray Sutanto is assistant professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., and the author of God and Knowledge: Herman Bavinck’s Theological Epistemology of God. He is an associate fellow at the Neo-Calvinism Research Institute.

This is Christ the Center episode 787 (www.reformedforum.org/ctc787)
Thank you all for the conversation. Camden - I come from the Roman Catholic tradition and would be interested in hearing more about Rahner and the Reform tradition.
Check out "Introduction to Karl Rahner Christ the Center episode 623". (I'm from Anglo-Catholic tradition, and, while disagreeing with aspects of Reformed theology, find these videos excellent, and especially good on orthodox Trinitarian theology).
p.s. Full episode on Rahner in their Great Thinkers series
Can you speak to Reformed streams with in the Evangelical Free Missionary Movement in the U.S. There are both Calvinists and Neo-Calvinists in our churches. We aren't Southern Presbyterian but would like to hear about how far tge influence of this Theology in low Church background like GARB and other Reforned Baptost Churches in New England and Southern New Jersey.
You are not allowed to have squabbles with Van Til at WTS.
Is Doug Wilson a neo-Calvinist? How about Meredith Kline?
I believe DW is more reconstructionist than neocal. Both are rooted in Kuyperian ideas.

I would probably use the word “elevate” rather than “perfects” because the latter suggests that creation is inherently imperfect or not entirely good. It would be easy to misunderstand that “grace” might be referring to something like the Roman Catholic doctrine of the donum superadditum if the word “perfects” is used. I prefer “grace restores and elevates nature” in order to stay consistently reformed.
Maybe it should not be developed because it lacks a Social ethic and a fully developed ecclesiology, hermeneutic or social ethic.
HOW does neo-calvinism differ from Christian Nationalism?
I thought neoCalvinism was YRR.
YRR is "New Calvinism", not "neo-Calvinism." Different things.
This is pretty funny since Calvinist can't stand, hate, can't get along with any non-Calvinist professing Christian and here you guys are wanting to get along with atheists' when you can't even get along with other Christians.
Who hurt you?
Probably a ministry leader who mistook orthodoxy for orthopraxy. A call for live orthodoxy.
Bingo! Great observation. The sleazy personal attacks to your comment simply proves your point.
