Publisher's Synopsis
Calvinism: Six Stone Foundation Lectures is a book written by Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch theologian, philosopher, and politician. The book is a collection of six lectures that Kuyper delivered in 1898 at Princeton University in the United States. The lectures explore the fundamental beliefs and principles of Calvinism, a branch of Protestantism that emphasizes the sovereignty of God, predestination, and the authority of the Bible.In the book, Kuyper discusses the historical context of Calvinism, its influence on the development of Western civilization, and its relevance to contemporary society. He argues that Calvinism provides a comprehensive worldview that can guide individuals and societies in their pursuit of truth, justice, and righteousness.Kuyper also examines the distinctive features of Calvinism, such as its emphasis on the sovereignty of God, the depravity of human nature, and the importance of faith and grace. He contrasts Calvinism with other theological traditions, such as Arminianism and Roman Catholicism, and defends its theological and philosophical coherence.Overall, Calvinism: Six Stone Foundation Lectures is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most influential theological traditions in the history of Christianity. It is a valuable resource for students of theology, philosophy, and history, as well as for anyone interested in understanding the role of religion in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
