Synopsis

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 church and state can 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 translation of Our Program, created in partnership with the Kuyper Translation Society and the Acton Institute, is part of a major series of 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.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) was one of the most extraordinary individuals of his time. A prolific intellectual and theologian, he founded the Free University in Amsterdam and was instrumental in the development of Neo-Calvinism. He was also an active politician, serving as a member of Parliament in the Netherlands beginning in 1874 and serving as Prime Minister from 1901 to 1905. At this intersection of church and state, he devoted much of his writing toward developing a public theology. His passion was to faithfully understand and engage culture through a Christian worldview. The most famous example is his articulation of the doctrine of common grace. His work has influenced countless others, including Francis Schaeffer, Cornelius Van Til, and Alvin Plantinga.

Harry Van Dyke (DLitt, Free University) has published numerous articles, translations, and edited anthologies and has written Groen van Prinsterer's Lectures on Unbelief and Revolution. He served as research fellow and instructor at Free University, then taught at Redeemer University College. Since his retirement, he has given direction to Redeemer's Dooyeweerd Centre for Christian Philosophy.
