Lectures on Calvinism

Calvinism is not just five points but is as Dr. Kuyper makes clear a whole complete coherent worldview. These Lectures represent the next step in Calvinism for those who have learned the five points the doctrines of grace and are ready to move on to the more developed meaning of those doctrines for the rest of the Christian worldview. Here you will find perhaps the most classic single-volume exposition of just that: the doctrine and meaning of Calvinism expanded into a whole system of thought in this case expressed in six areas of life: worldview religion politics science art and the future. Throughout these lectures Dr. Kuper contrasts the glories of Calvinism as biblical Christianity itself over against various versions of humanism paganism pantheism mysticism and more often including key differences in each area with Roman Catholicism Lutheranism Anabaptism and liberal Christianity. The reader will be awakened to many developments in history they probably did not know stemmed directly for one of these religious worldviews and how Calvinism not only corrects the errors but lays the positive foundations for the values and institutions the free world holds most dear.
