New Article: How Should We Then Work?

Closed Published by jdodson December 6th, 2007 on Creation Project

Boundless is running one of my new articles on a redemptive approach to work entitled “How Should We Then Work?“
An excerpt:

In many respects, work is the engine of civilization. Without work, societies would not perpetuate. Furthermore, if as Schaeffer argues, the rise and decline of civilization is intimately intertwined with the strength and weakness of […]

Contemporary Value of Calvinism (according to Kuyper)

Closed Published by jdodson November 30th, 2007 on Creation Project

This is the final reflection in my series of posts on Abraham Kuyper’s Lectures on Calvinism.
Considering the contemporary value of Calvinism, it is interesting to note that when confronted with the claims of modernism (Scopes Trials etc.), Kuyper asserted that Christians failed to offer a substantial and coherent answer due to absence of a […]

Kuyper: Calvinism as the Worldview?

Closed Published by jdodson September 28th, 2007 on Creation Project

In Lectures on Calvinism Kupyer begins by introducing his Calvinistic Weltanschauung (world and life view) and then turns to apply it to several areas of life and thought: Religion, Politics, Science, Art, and the Future.

While special grace is that redeeming and transforming grace of God limited to those who have faith in Jesus, common grace […]

Abraham Kuyper: Theological Integration (Part II)

Kuyper’s convictions regarding the sovereignty of God over all of life pressed him to advocate comprehensive reform in both the public and private sectors. He believed Christian education was essential to sustain the life and purity of the church. As a result he called for the formation of Christian schools that would weed out […]

Abraham Kuyper: A Biographical Sketch

Closed Published by jdodson August 15th, 2007 on Creation Project

Over the next couple of months I will write a weekly post on the life and thought of Abraham Kuyper. Kuyper is perhaps best known for his articulation of the concept of Common Grace, which he appropriated in the development of a robust Christian worldview. His famous Stone Lectures at Princeton developed this worldview approach […]
