This volume... has emerged from a small scholarly conference... on the relationship between Christianity and Greco-Roman civilization, above all, that civilization's characteristic patterns of philosophical thought... The field of investigation [is] the neo-Calvinist current within Dutch protestantism and the elaboration in the 1920s and 1930s of 'Calvinistic' philosophy as one of its most distinctive effects... this 'parish tale' has more to recommend it than might appear at first blush. For there is a good argument to be made why such a thoroughly local study can benefit a much broader segment of contemporary Protestantism.
Robert Sweetman, Ph.D., is the H. Evan Runner Chair in the History of Philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies. He is also an associate member of the Centre for Medieval Studies and the Centre for the Study of Religion of the University of Toronto.
