Synopsis

Calvinism: Six Stone Foundation Lectures by Abraham Kuyper is a book that explores the theological and philosophical principles of Calvinism. The book is based on six lectures that Kuyper delivered in 1898 at the Stone Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey. Kuyper, a Dutch theologian, politician, and journalist, was a prominent figure in the Reformed tradition of Christianity. In this book, he presents Calvinism as a comprehensive worldview that encompasses not only religious beliefs but also social, political, and cultural aspects of life. The six lectures in the book cover various topics related to Calvinism, including its historical development, its key theological doctrines, its impact on society and culture, and its relation to other worldviews such as liberalism and socialism. Kuyper argues that Calvinism provides a unique perspective on the relationship between God and the world, emphasizing God's sovereignty and human responsibility. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in theology, philosophy, and history. It is a classic work that continues to influence contemporary discussions about Calvinism and its relevance for today's world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Abraham Kuyper was a Dutch Reformed Church Minister who rose to become prime minister of the Netherlands. He left the Dutch Reformed Church over the issue of its growing liberalism, and he founded a newspaper, De Standaard, in support of orthodox theology. Kuyper's view that God is active in our everyday lives remains influential to this day. In 1898 Abraham Kuyper was invited to deliver the L. P. Stone Foundation lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary. Kuyper addressed not detailed theological arguments but rather the Calvinist ethos and its place in lifea as a whole. Contents include Calvinism a Life-system; Calvinism and Religion; Calvinism and Politics; Calvinism and Science; Calvinism and Art; and Calvinism and the Future.
