Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral research fellow, and then senior researcher in systematic and historical theology, at the Theologische Universiteit Kampen. I hold undergraduate degrees in law (LLB Hons, Aberdeen) and theology (BTh Dist., Glasgow). My PhD, on the Dutch dogmatician Herman Bavinck, was written at the University of Edinburgh. I work as a systematic and historical theologian. To date, the bulk of my research and writing has focused on neo-Calvinism, a form of Reformed Christianity that developed between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the Netherlands, and that has continued to evolve in a range of international contexts. My first book, Trinity and Organism, was published by Bloomsbury in 2012. More recently, I was the co-editor of Neo-Calvinism and the French Revolution, with the same publisher. In 2017, my book Herman Bavinck on Preaching and Preachers, was published by Hendrickson. Following this, I worked on Christian Worldview (co-edited and co-translated with Gray Sutanto and Cory Brock), which was published by Crossway. My most recent book, Bavinck: A Critical Biography was published in 2020 by Baker Academic, and won the History and Biography Book of the Year prize at The Gospel Coalition 2020 Book Awards. It is also a finalist in the 2021 ECPA Christian Book Awards. I serve as Associate Editor of the Journal of Reformed Theology, published by Brill. I have written for The Times, The Herald, The Scotsman, Christianity Today, Modern Reformation, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and Nederlands Dagblad, and have taken part in broadcasts on BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Alba and BBC Radio nan Gàidheal. I have broad interests in Reformed theologies and theologians, with particular foci on Scottish-Dutch Reformed connections, public theology, and the relationship of theology to the phenomenon of multilingualism. I speak, read and write English, Scottish Gaelic, Dutch and French.

Purchase the Diary of James Hinton edited by Chance Faulkner here: https://hesedandemet.com/product/the-diary-of-james-hinton/  The name of the eighteenth-century Baptist minister James Hinton (1761–1823) is not one that is well-known by any standard, even to those who specialize in the study of English Baptist history. Yet, along with his friends Andrew Fuller (1754–1815) and John Ryland, Jr. (1753–1825), Hinton was ‘one of those Baptist leaders who, at the end of the eighteenth century, secured the revival of Baptist life in Britain.’ And like many of his theological persuasion—Hinton was a Dissenter of Calvinistic Baptist convictions—Hinton regarded the keeping of a diary as a spiritual discipline. Hinton’s diary is no longer extant, but large portions of it can be found embedded in a biographical study of Hinton by his son John Howard Hinton (1791–1873). This book contains these portions that have been skillfully re-assembled by Chance Faulkner as a diary.
