Abraham Kuyper : A Centennial Reader

This volume gathers sixteen writings by Abraham Kuyper never before available in English. Freshly translated and rendered in a clear, accessible style, these works present an excellent cross-section of Kuyper's wide-ranging Christian mind. The volume includes Kuyper's definitive statements on politics, education, culture, and the religious currents and social problems of his time. Also included are Kuyper's own conversion narrative, his critiques of Modernist and of Keswick holiness theology, his proposals on common grace and Calvinist politics, his reflections on a culture in thrall to pantheism and evolution, and his classic address on "sphere sovereignty." Editor James Bratt provides helpful explanatory notes and an introduction to each piece. Photographs, cartoons, and short excerpts from some of Kuyper's better-known works make this an attractive volume that will stand as the definitive Kuyper anthology for years to come.
