Abraham Kuyper: A Pictorial Biography

Overview: This book offers a rich, unprecedented photographic depiction of the life of Dutch stateman and theologian Abraham Kuyper (1837 - 1920). Substantive, detailed captions accompany all of the more than four hundred illustrations - family photos, political cartoons, posters, pictures of important places in Kuyper's life - many of them never published before. Though there is little disagreement about Kuyper's historical significance, discussions about him have centered mostly on his worldview, with little said about his personal life. This volume fills that gap with its full-fledged portrait of this remarkabe, visionary, polemical, complex character. Even Kuyper devotees are sure to see something new in these pages!
