Abraham Kuyper and Evangelicalism

Tyrannus Hall Podcast

Bruce Ashford is Fellow in Public Theology at the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology and a columnist for First Things Magazine. For many years, he was also Provost and Professor of Theology & Culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He co-authored One Nation Under God: A Christian Hope for American Politics (with Chris Pappalardo) and is the author of Every Square Inch: An Introduction to Cultural Engagement for Christians. He is a North American Evangelical who has learned a deep appreciation for the theological insights of the late 19th and early 20th century Dutch Reformed theologian and scholar, Abraham Kuyper. Kuyper, has for many years, been evaluated in a negative way in the Canadian Reformed Churches because of the synodical imposition of his covenant theology upon the churches in the Netherlands in 1944. His reputation, however, has been in revival among the Canadian Reformed Churches these past years, and Ashford helps us in developing a deeper appreciation of Kuyper, the theologian, the politician, the newspaper editor, and university founder. Bruce shows us how Kuyper's keen insights help us to better understand the role and place of the Church in the World.
