A pastor in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, Belt (systematic theology, VU U., Amsterdam) seeks the foundation for scriptural authority and the relationship of that authority to the faith of believers. He takes into account the views of Calvin and Benjamin B. Warfield, but is most interested in those of Herman Bavinck. The study is a revision of his October 2006 Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Leiden. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
