“This early 17th century work is as massive as Bavinck’s dogmatics and had a major influence on such important Puritan divines as Jonathan Edwards. If the society can complete this project in five years, I will be very happy.”
James DeJong, President of the Dutch Reformed Translation Society, announcing that last month they began translating into English Peter Van Mastricht’s Theoretico-Practica Theologia, or “Theoretical and Practical Theology.” This work has been made famous, at least in part, by the glowing recommendation of Jonathan Edwards who ranked PVM’s work second only to the Bible in importance. Harry Stout writes that PVM was “one of the major influences on Jonathan Edwards’s theology from his graduate days onward.”
Collect your pennies, the entire project is expected to be completed by 2014.

It will be worth the wait!
I Know my comment is a little late but thought this might be of interest to those who may not have read or own “A God Entranced Vision of All Things” The Legacy of Jonathan Edwards, edited by John Piper & Justin Taylor (Crossway 2004)
In the third chapter written by Noel Piper titled “Sarah Edwards: Jonathan’s Home and Haven” Noel points out on pg. 58 that it was Sarah, Jonathan’s wife, who introduced him to this work by Peter Van Mastricht, which would later influence his theology.
I am looking forward to reading this work.
Edwards recommendation is enough for me.
Thanks for the GREAT Blog Tony!
How is this going? Hope it is still on schedule.
BTW If Jonathan Edwards and his wife read this work then it must have been translated into English already. Does anyone know what translation they had?
It is 2017. I do not believe that the translation has been published. I am glad I learned Latin in high school.
