Reviews

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

For such a short book this did give me a real insight into Dutch-American thought. The first few chapters flew just over my head in places--I just am not familiar with the names and all the divisions--but the chapters on Berkhof, Dooyeweerd (gotta love that name) and Van Til were really helpful and a good introduction to Dutch influences.

Will have to re-read at some later point when I know more and can pick up better on the academic insights of the writers.

Liked it.

Good with a surplus.
