This series of lectures was delivered by Abraham Kuyper at the
Princeton Theological Seminary in 1898. Over the course of the
lectures, he discusses Calvinism and the way it pertains to many
aspects of life including politics, science, and art. According to
Kuyper, Calvinism has a natural affinity for scientific
investigation, because like scientific inquiry, Calvinism seeks to
unify the cosmos under universal laws. Predestination, he says,
proves that a set of laws exist to govern the world, and science is
merely trying to figure them out. When it comes to art, Kuyper
launches into a defense of Calvinism, which is often maligned as a
religion that seeks to stamp out art and its significance. Readers
will find here a thorough and elegant explanation of Calvinism and
its particular outlook on life. Anyone wanting to know how the
religion is unique among the many Christian sects will find it an
enjoyable and informative read. Dutch theologian ABRAHAM KUYPER
(1837-1920) was prime minister of the Netherlands from 1901 to
1905. He developed Neo-Calvinism, which emphasizes the sovereignty
of Jesus over all mental pursuits and supports the idea that there
exists a grace given by God to all things in order to sustain the
continued unfolding of creation. Kuyper wrote a number of books
including Conservatism and Orthodoxy (1870), The Social Question
and the Christian Religion (1891), and Common Grace (1902).
