Title: Berkouwer and Catholicism
Subtitle: Disputed Questions
Description: "Gerrit Cornelis Berkouwer (1903-1996) was a great master of dogmatic and ecumenical theology. He was a Reformed Protestant thinker, with roots in Dutch neo-Calvinism, a holder of the Chair in Dogmatics (1945-1974) at the Free University, Amsterdam, a position previously held by his two illustrious neo-Calvinist predecessors, Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) and Herman Bavinck (1854-1921). Echeverria provides a much needed in-depth analysis and critique of his theology, particularly his evolving relationship with Catholicism in light of Vatican II. His contention is that Berkouwer{u2019}s careful and nuanced examination of Catholic theology{u2014}as well as possible responses to his critiques{u2014}offers important clues for the contemporary ecumenical project." -- Publisher's description.
