Kuyper: A Primer

 

Some may have already purchased Kuyper: A Primer. Unfortunately, there are some egregious errors in it (my bad!).

This is an errata sheet of some of the worst. 

Most others are comma splices, etc.

Illuminating Law: The Construction of Herman Dooyeweerd's Philosophy.

Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) was a Dutch Christian philosopher who constructed a comprehensive and unique system of thought. This book deals with his first period of development between the years 1918 and 1928, examining the origin of his ideas and their connection with neo-Kantian and neo-Calvinist thought. The book explains both the growth and structure of Dooyeweerd’s conceptual building blocks and how they were used to create a comprehensive system of philosophy. During these formative years, he reflected on the meaning of law, trying to illuminate its significance for his own and for the other academic disciplines. Eventually, he penetrated to what he believed was its deeper religious origin, providing a new understanding of law and the basis of a new approach to philosophy.

Map of Kuyper’s “Maranatha speech”

Kuyper's theses from his 1862 doctoral dissertation on Calvin and à Lasco

Particularly interesting are statements 1, 5, 11 and 12:

1. The difference between Calvin and Lasco on the doctrine of the Church is especially evident in this: that the former generally retained the traces of Judaism which remained in the Roman Church, whereas the latter attempted to eradicate them completely.

5. Church history should be cultivated only for this purpose: that, being instructed in God's counsel concerning the founding of the Church, we ourselves might cooperate with God in the propagation and perfection of the Church.

11. The doctrine of the invisible Church should be rejected.

12. That the Holy Spirit is a person is unjustly denied today by most people.

These are a provisional translation of the Latin.
