Dutch Reformed thinkers have long enjoyed an influ ence within American evangelicalism that far exceeds their numerical strength. A compact introduction to this theol-ogy is now available in Dutch Reformed Theology

Introducing "the Dutch schools" is James Bratt, author of the much praised Dutch Calvinism in Modern America. A chapter on Louis Berkhof, whose Reformed Dogmatics continues to be stud-ied, has been contributed by Henry Zwaanstra. C. T McIntire writes an essay on Herman Dooyeweerd in America, and Wesley Roberts analyzes the thought of Cornelius Van Til. George Marsden's overview of American Reformed theology completes Dutch Reformed Theology

Bratt rates Berkhof's magnum opus as "the best-known Dutch con-tribution to American theology." McIntire finds in Dooyeweerd "the most creative philosopher in the Reformed tradition thus far in the twentieth century," and Roberts regards Van Til "as one of the foremost Christian apologists of our time."
