Rooted in extensive textual and archival research, developed comprehensively and set forth with real care, this study of the theology of Eduard Bohl provides an expert assessment of his achievement. By ably setting Bohl's work firmly within the distinctive currents of modern Protestant thought that encompassed and influenced him, Thomas R. V. Forster recommends Bohl and his ideas to the present as one of the more remarkable Reformed theologians of the late nineteenth century. (Philip G. Ziegler, Lecturer in Systematic Theology, King's College, University of Aberdeen, Scotland) A long-standing wish of mine has been fulfilled by the publication of this thorough study of the life and works of Eduard Bohl. The author knowledgeably proves that Bohl's work fully corresponds with that of his teacher H. F. Kohlbrugge. Forster's conclusion that Bohl's doctrine can be called `Verheissungstheologie' is a sound reflection of what students of Kohlbrugge still stand for. (Teus van Es, Translator into Dutch of Works by H. F. Kohlbrugge) Thomas R. V. Forster has put together the first comprehensive review of Eduard Bohl's theology in English, and one of very few thorough studies of this unjustly neglected thinker in any language. Making extensive use of Bohl's correspondence and occasional writings as well as his major dogmatic works, Forster gives us a vivid sense of the confessional and ecclesial commitments that shaped Bohl's development of Reformed theology in the wake of the work of his father-in-law, Kohlbrugge. Surprisingly, Bohl's unique development of the confessional themes of the Reformers in terms of a strongly unified reading of Scripture is a significant parallel to contemporary movements in Anglo-American theology. (Ian A. McFarland, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia) Eduard Bohl has long been a curiously neglected figure in studies of nineteenth-century dogmatic and biblical theology. Students of the period will welcome this careful, sympathetic, and engaging portrayal of his life and work. While documenting Bohl's immense debt to Kohlbrugge, it also amply demonstrates the range and abiding interest of his own theological achievements, and it sheds welcome new light on his role in the history of the Reformed churches of the Dual Monarchy.
