The French Revolution was the scene of much intellectual and social
upheaval. Its impact touched a wide range of subjects: the
relationship of the church to the state, social relationships,
science, literature, fashion, philosophy and theology. Although the
French Revolution's momentum was felt across Europe and North
America, it met a particularly interesting response in the
Netherlands, at that time the scene of a burgeoning neo-Calvinist
movement. In that context, the likes of Groen van Prinsterer,
Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck responded to the French
Revolution's ideals and influence in a variety of intellectual and
practical ways.This book approaches that Dutch response from a
range of historical and theological perspectives, and in so doing
explores the relationship between the French Revolution and the
development of neo-Calvinism. Beginning with historical portraits
of Bavinck and Kuyper in relation to the Revolution, the
perspectives offered also include, amongst others, the place of
multilingualism in neo-Calvinism and the Revolution, neo-Calvinist
and Revolutionary approaches to fashion, a dialogue between
Kuyperian theology and Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, and a
contemporary neo-Calvinist critique of French laicite. This book
forms part of a wider Project neo-Calvinism supported by the
Theologische Universiteit Kampen and the VU University Amsterdam.
