In this volume, originally published in English in 1900-it was
translated by HENRI DE VRIES (1847-1932)-Abraham Kuyper addresses
what he feels is a scarcely discussed topic among theologians and
practicing Christians: the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Much
had been written about Jesus and the Father, but he found very
little about the Holy Spirit, whose job it is to sanctify the soul.
Kuyper divides his work into three volumes. Volume One covers the
work of the Holy Spirit in the Church; Volumes Two and Three cover
the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual. 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).
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
