Description

Abraham Kuyper was once, by any standard, one of the crucial unusual figures in brand new Christian history. He was once a Dutch Reformed minister, a gifted theologian, a prolific journalist, the leader of a political party, the cofounder of the Free University of Amsterdam (where he was once professor of theology), a member of the Dutch Parliament, and in the end prime minister of the Netherlands. Kuyper’s remarkable legacy lives on these days within the tradition of Dutch Calvinism that he developed. As his writings develop into more widely to be had, this tradition continues to find new adherents attracted by his comprehensive vision of Christian faith. But what defines the Kuyperian tradition? Renowned South African theologian and philosopher Craig Bartholomew has written the first systematic introduction to this tradition. Drawing on Kuyper’s entire corpus, Bartholomew has identified the important thing themes and ideas that define this tradition, including worldview, sphere sovereignty, creation and redemption, the public square, and mission. He also goes beyond Kuyper to show how later thinkers developed these ideas. They include, among others, Herman Bavinck, J. H. Bavinck, Gerrit C. Berkouwer, and Herman Dooyeweerd. Widely known but little read, Kuyper is now receiving the global recognition that his fertile and influential thought deserves. Contours of the Kuyperian Tradition is an indispensable guide to one of the crucial significant schools of thought within the brand new age.
