Let Christ be King : Reflections on the life and times of Abraham Kuyper

---

Outline: In this book we want to get to know Abraham Kuyper in the context of his own time. What was the special character of his time? What was the spirit of the age? There is a definite starting point to be found: Kuyper, like his predecessor, Groen van Prinsterer, always referred to a certain point of departure in characterizing his own time - the formidable events of the French Revolution of 1789. In their view, this revolution was the consummation and zenith, but at the same time the downfall and destruction, of the hopes and ideals of the eighteenth century. The nineteenth century was in the first place a reaction against the frightening aspects of the French Revolution. Yet at the same time it carried the ideas of the French Revolution further. It opened the door both to reaction and to liberalism, to conservatism and to socialism, to all manner of new theologies and to a revival of the old one, to secularism and evangelism, and to agnostic idealism. it was a time of many great names -- the time of Schleiermacher and Hegel, of Darwin and Marx, of Bismarck and Gladstone, of Newman and Kierkegaard. Among these great names, the name of Abraham Kuyper deserves to be mentioned. When he was young he assimilated all the new ideas of his time. However, when it pleased God to convert him, he used all remarkable powers of his mind to renew the Dutch Reformed church and to liberate the people of God in The Netherlands, together with their children, from a house of bondage. In his activities in both church and state, the cry of his heart was "Let Christ be King!"
