Since the main difficulties do not concern specific heads of doctrine but arise in theological method, Bavinck's focus narrows to the act of faith. Bavinck demonstrates the necessity of viewing faith as knowledge rather than mere trust, recounting the development of doctrine from the biblical authors through the dawn of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique window into Bavinck's thought, as he speaks candidly about the limitations and failures of Reformed theology and the relative merits of modern thinkers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eForemost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics\u003c\/em\u003e was a series of lectures delivered at the Free University shortly after Bavinck moved to Amsterdam in 1902.
