In this episode we chat with Guillaume Abraham Spiering, the great-grandson of Abraham Kuyper. Guillaume Abraham Spiering is the grandson (on his mother's side) of Abraham Kuyper's last son: Guillaume (“Wim”) Kuyper (1879–1918). Join us as we discuss Kuyper's legacy and impact on his great-grandson.
Gray Sutanto didn't respond to my interview request because I rebuked him for platforming sodomite-affirmers who claim to be "Neo-Calvinist" but are no more "Neo-Calvinist" than the "People's Republic of China" is the people's or a republic.
Can Neo-Calvinism Survive its Flinching?A Review of "T&T Clark Handbook of Neo-Calvinism"
Continuing our chapter-by-chapter coverage of the T&T Clark Handbook of “Neo-Calvinism” we sit down with Henk van den Belt, author of chapter 3 “Sovereignty of God.” Here we discuss how was God’s sovereignty was understood by Bavinck and Kuyper (we also discuss the liberal drift in Neo-Calvinism, LGBT+ and the woke “neo-Calvinists,” AA Van Ruler, and much much more).
Today we interview Steve Bishop, a great keeper of the Kuyperian flame, as we discuss his interest and gleanings from Neo-Cavinism and especially his chapter on creation in the T&T Clark Handbook of Neo-Calvinism.
We kick off our series covering the "T&T Clark Hanbook of Neo-Calvinism" by interviewing Cam Clausing. Cam is the author of chapter 1 "God and the Trinity" - listen in as we discuss what, if any, updating or modifying did the Neo-Calvinists Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck and G.C. Berkouwer bring (if any). We also discuss Cam's own translations of Bavinck and a few other nuggets along the way.
Today we're joined with Johan Snel author “The Seven Lives of Abraham Kuyper” and most recently “Abraham Kuyper, A Life in Journalism." Today Kuyper is known, at least in North America, as a Theologian and a politician, but in his own day was known chiefly as journalist. For almost 50 years the unrelenting pen of Kuyper was his chief exploit. Join us as we discuss Bram's contributions to journalism as well as we correct some oft-quoted/assumed quasi-"history" on Kuyper (like, for example, "Kuyper was a polemicist and loved to fight!" But, was he?). We also go into detail in regards to what were the outlets in which he wrote? How many pages were the papers? How many articles? What were his chief subjects? How much did it cost to buy a copy? What was the circulation? Who else contributed on the same outlets? Etc.
Join us as we sit down with Steven R. Martins, a sound brother who is keeping the Kuyperian flame burning, as we discuss his labors and contributions to neo-calvinism. Martins is the founding director of the Cántaro Institute and founding pastor of Sevilla Chapel in St. Catharines. A second-generation Canadian, Steven is of Iberoamerican parentage and has worked in the fields of missional apologetics and church leadership for over ten years. He has spoken at numerous conferences, churches, and University student events, from York University, Toronto, to the University of West Indies in Port of Spain, Trinidad, and the national Universities of Costa Rica (UNCR and UNC). He is the author of several books, including Apologetics: Studies in Biblical Apologetics for a Christian Worldview, and is the Series Editor for the Celebration of Faith Series. He has also contributed articles to Coalición por el Evangelio and the Siglo XXI journal of Editorial CLIR
Join us as we sit down with Jesse Sumpter, author of "A Short Introduction to Abraham Kuyper's Lectures on Calvinism” as we review this important lecture series and what we can glean and apply today. Pro Rege.https://jessesumpter.com/
Harry Van Dyke, whom we interview here, has has described Groen Van Prinsterer as a “godfather” to both Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck and James Bratt describes Van Prinsterer as “something of a surrogate father to Kuyper.” Listen in as we interview Harry van Dyke on Van Prinsterer's influence on Kuyper.
