Description

This source edition of a so far unpublished work written by the young Kuyper, throws surprising new light on the origins of the ideas with which this founder of modern a Lasco research would later greatly influence Dutch nation and society as a theologian, politician, university founder, church leader, and prime minister.

It was on Schleiermachers model of a "social" church that Kuyper could not only join the formalism of Calvin with the voluntarism of a Lasco, but could push for democratization in ecclesiastical as well as civil governance - and furthermore, could insist that the mandates of divine election spoke to the social as well as to the church question of the age. Thus, much of Kuyper's provocative message was present "in germ," as he would say, in this early work, and we must be grateful to the sacrifices of the editors and publisher in putting it so ably into the accessible record. James D. Bratt, Church History and Religious Culture
