A Short Introduction to Abraham Kuyper's Lectures on Calvinism

In 1898, Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920) presented a lecture series on Calvinism as a life system at Princeton Theological Seminary. His six talks covered Calvin’s teaching on politics, science, art, and religion as well as Kuyper’s application of the doctrine for his own day and into the future. This brief book summarizes the lectures and provides commentary that invites twenty-first century readers to follow Calvin and Kuyper in walking in submission to the Lordship of Jesus.
