Books by H Evan Runner

The collected essays, lectures, and occasional speeches of Dr. Howard Evan Runner in a new four-volume format. Professor Runner was the leading representative of The Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea, the comprehensive Christian philosophy inaugurated by Herman Dooyeweerd and D. Th. Vollenhoven. Penetrating, prophetic, and profoundly insightful are just some of the terms necessary to describe this invaluable collection from the pen of the foremost North American Reformational scholar. Here you will find inspiration, analysis, and a vigorous call to action across the entire range of human experience, all driven by an unwavering commitment to the Word of God.

In his momentous and historic address on occasion of the opening of the ICS (Institute for Christian Studies), H. Evan Runner (1916-2002) addresses the cultural crisis of his time - very much a crisis that we have not yet escaped today - and the need for an institution and a missional direction for God's people to counter the forces of evil, the antithesis, the lie of Satan and to advance a truly Christian philosophy of life that is untainted by the pollution of our culture's pagan thoughts and unmistakably pure in its fidelity to Scripture. May Runner's words inspire the generations to come to take up arms and to fight the good fight of faith, a far-reaching comprehensive faith.

The prominent perception of Calvinism is a set of doctrines which have been disputed by proponents of Arminianism ever since both doctrinal positions emerged, but Calvinism is much more than just a set of doctrines, Calvinism is the true religion of the Bible, it is the lived out reality of God's special revelation. It is not solely confined to theological discussions, its scope is vast and extensive, with real societal implications. In this publication, Dooyeweerdian philosopher H. Evan Runner (1916-2002) traces the development of Calvinism in Europe and its arrival in North America, and distinguishes it from its false distortions.
