What are the political and social implications of the gospel? In
Our Program, Abraham Kuyper presents a Christian alternative to the
secular politics of his day. At that time, the church and state
were closely tied, with one usually controlling the other. But
Kuyper's political framework showed how the church and state could
engage with each other while remaining separate. His insights,
though specific to his time and place, remain highly relevant to
Christians involved in the political sphere today. This new
translation of Our Program, created in partnership with the Kuyper
Translation Society and the Acton Institute, is part of a major
series of new translations of Kuyper's most important writings. The
Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology marks a historic
moment in Kuyper studies, aimed at deepening and enriching the
church's development of public theology.

In Common Grace Abraham Kuyper presents to the church a vision for
cultural engagement rooted in the humanity Christians share with
the rest of the world. Kuyper fills a gap in the development of
Reformed teaching on divine grace, and he articulates a Reformed
understanding of God's gifts that are common to all people after
the fall into sin. This first volume contains Kuyper's
demonstration of the biblical basis for common grace and how it
works. This new translation of Common Grace, created in partnership
with the Kuyper Translation Society and the Acton Institute, is
part of a major series of new translations of Kuyper's most
important writings. The Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public
Theology marks a historic moment in Kuyper studies, aimed at
deepening and enriching the church's development of public
theology.
Communion with the Lord is sweeter than honey. In his meditations,
Abraham Kuyper reveals a side of himself unseen in his well-known
theological writings. First published in 1880 and 1883 and never
before translated in English, the devotions in Honey from the Rock
were written for the nourishment and health of his soul. Rather
than the public figure and theologian, we see a man thirsting and
hungering for God's presence. Modern readers entering this sacred
space will be spiritually renewed, restored, and replenished by the
light of God's Word, before returning to our daily callings. James
De Jong introduces these powerful devotions from Kuyper.
With a sure hand and a passion for preserving the essential Kuyper,
James C. Schaap has pared away the complex language of a
century-old translation of the original Dutch text "Nabij God te
Zijn" (1908) to reveal the heart of Abraham Kuyper's meditations in
fresh, vivid words.
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).
Kuyper on the Divine Purpose for Education. Among Abraham Kuyper's
many accomplishments was his founding of the Free University of
Amsterdam, where he also served as president and professor of
theology. This collection of essays and speeches presents Kuyper's
theology and philosophy of education, and his understanding of the
divine purpose of scholarship for human culture. Included are
convocation addresses given at the Free University, parliamentary
speeches, newspaper articles, and other talks and essays on the
topic of education. Much of the material deals with issues still
being debated today including the roles of the family and state in
education, moral instruction, Christian education, and vouchers.
This classic by Dr. A. Kuyper gives us 50 graphic character
sketches that radiate scriptural insight. Each character study is
based on a specific passage of Scripture.
What is the relationship between the church and the state? Dutch
politician and Christian activist Abraham Kuyper was deeply
invested in debates over the influence Christianity should have on
his nation. As a pastor and theologian, he was just as concerned
about the ailing Dutch church. In On the Church, the Acton
Institute and the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society have partnered
with Lexham Press to publish seven brand-new translations of
Kuyper's most influential essays and speeches on the relationship
between Christianity and the world. Kuyper believed that Christians
must neither hide from the world behind the walls of physical
church buildings nor engage the world solely through earthly
institutions. The introductory essay by Ad de Bruijne discusses how
Kuyper's incisive view of the church still can--and must--apply
today, just as it did at the turn of the 20th century.
