This article presents Herman Bavinck and Johan Herman Bavinck’s explications of the uniqueness of Christian theism in terms of the absolute personalism of the Christian Scriptures. Both argue that, outside of Christian special revelation, absoluteness and personality appear in irresolvable dialectic. The dogmatician Herman Bavinck detects this tension in the history of Western philosophy, and the missiologist Johan Herman in the religions of Java. They argue that the Christian Scriptures present the absolute personality of the triune God as the subversive fulfillment of the contradictory theisms of philosophical speculation and of non-Christian religions respectively. This article thus attempts a retrieval of a promising neo-Calvinist theme for the sake of a Reformed theology of religions and missiological encounter.

本文介绍了赫尔曼·巴文克和约翰·赫尔曼·巴文克从基督教圣经的绝对个人主义角度对基督教有神论的独特性的解释。两者都认为，在基督教的特殊启示之外，绝对性和个性出现在无法解决的辩证法中。教条主义者赫尔曼·巴文克在西方哲学史上发现了这种张力，传教士约翰·赫尔曼在爪哇的宗教中发现了这种张力。他们争辩说，基督教圣经将三位一体神的绝对人格呈现为哲学思辨和非基督教宗教的矛盾有神论的颠覆性实现。因此，本文试图检索一个有前途的新加尔文主义主题，以期为宗教改革宗神学和宣教相遇所用。
