A Dutch Reformed minister, gifted theologian, prolific journalist, political party leader, Free University of Amsterdam cofounder, member of the Dutch Parliament, and eventually prime minister of the Netherlands, Abraham Kuyper was one of the most extraordinary figures in modern Christian history. HIs remarkable legacy lingers today in the Dutch Calvinism tradition he developed and his writings have become more widely available, attracting new adherents by his comprehensive vision of the Christian faith. But what defines the Kuyperian tradition? In Contours of the Kuyperian Tradition, reknowned theologian and philosopher Craig Bartholomew offers the first systematic introduction to this tradition. Drawing on Kuyper's entire corpus, Bartholomew has identified the key themes and ideas that define this tradition, including worldview, sphere sovereignty, creation and redemption, the public square, and mission. He also goes beyond Kuyper to show how later thinkers developed these ideas. They include, among others, Herman Bavinck, J. H. Bavinck, Gerrit C. Berkouwer, and Herman Dooyeweerd. Widely known but little read, Kuyper is now receiving the global recognition that his fertile and influential thought deserves. Contours of the Kuyperian Tradition is an indispensable guide to one of the most significant schools of thought in the modern age.
