The Certainty of Faith
The timeliness of this book, first published in 1901, is shown by the fact that a great number of academic texts quote from it. "The Certainty of Faith" is one of the small but powerful classics written by one of the greatest theologians Holland has ever produced. Bavinck examines the difference between the certainty of science and that of religion historically, biblically, and theologically.

Behold the Pierced One: An Approach to a Spiritual Christology
This little collection of Christological meditations and reflections has two points of origin. The first was the Congress on the Sacred Heart of Jesus that was held at Toulouse in the summer of 1981 in connection with the Eucharistic Congress held earlier at Lourdes. In the quiet of the Dominican cloister in Toulouse I was able to work on my talk for the Congress, which became an impetus for me…
