 “Abraham Kuyper: Cancel or Celebrate?”

W. Robert Godfrey has a presentation on Kuyper 

Abraham Kuyper did not ignore the realities that the church faced in the modern world. In this last lesson, Dr. Godfrey maps out Kuyper's vision of a pluralistic society that would not hinder our freedom to be Christians.

Faith in Democracy – A series of webinars with Jonathan Chaplin

 We invite you to participate in a series of interactive seminars with Dr Jonathan Chaplin, Associate Fellow at the British public theology think tank Theos, a member of the Cambridge Divinity Faculty and former Director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics. He has recently published “Faith in Democracy: Framing a politics of deep diversity” (SCM Press, 2021), a discussion of how religious citizens can participate in society with integrity, and how secularism needs to recognise its own faith commitments which seek to exclude those of other faiths. Chaplin seeks to present a vision for how those of various (and conflicting) commitments can find a way of life together which does justice to everyone and allow for expression in public life of the many and varied faith convictions which make up today’s pluralist society.

Schedule: 

Thursday 30 September “Why Faith in Democracy?”

Thursday 14 October,  “Christianity and Secularism”

Thursday 28 October “Political Engagement by Faith Communities

Abraham Kuyper on Apologetics

Mike Wagenman and my paper on Kuyper’s apologetics has been published. 

This paper explores Abraham Kuyper’s view of apologetics, particularly in response to B.B. Warfield’s classical approach. It examines three key questions: Why did Warfield and Kuyper disagree over the questions of apologetics; Why did Kuyper have such a low view of apologetics; and What alternative did Kuyper propose to apologetics in Christian life and thought?
