About this eBook

About this edition: -original language support -fully linked footnotes -e-reader specific formatting Over one hundred years ago, Dutch theologian, politician, and educator Abraham Kuyper delivered six remarkable addresses at Princeton University on the importance of Reformed theology in every part of our lives. With passion borne from years of education and spiritual commitment, Kuyper asserted that Calvinism is a system of life that influences each aspect of human experience. Reformed theology provides a framework that leads us to obedience with God in politics, art, science, religion, and the future. It is a way of discovering how we are to relate to God, engage with others, and live well in the larger world. Kuyper's words do more than provide historical insight into a theology that would change the lives of many. More than a century after they were first delivered, these lectures offer direction to a world looking for meaning. Contents: First Lecture - Calvinism as a Life System Second Lecture - Calvinism and Religion Third Lecture - Calvinism and Politics Fourth Lecture - Calvinism and Science Fifth Lecture - Calvinism and Art Sixth Lecture - Calvinism and the Future

Ratings and reviews

An outstanding example of the titanic thought and energy of Kuyper. A cognitive workout with many scintillating insights. (-1 star: Subject to the prejudices of his era in a few particulars, making up only tiny and incidental bits, but jarring.)
