Publisher's Description
Kuyper on the Divine Purpose for EducationAmong Abraham Kuyper's many accomplishments was his founding of the Free University of Amsterdam, where he also served as president and professor of theology. This collection of essays and speeches presents Kuyper's theology and philosophy of education and his understanding of the divine purpose of scholarship for human culture. Included are convocation addresses given at the Free University, parliamentary speeches, newspaper articles, and other talks and essays on the topic of education. Much of the material deals with issues still being debated today including the roles of the family and state in education, moral instruction, Christian education, and vouchers.

“This valuable collection illuminates Kuyper’s approach to educational policy and practice founded on the conviction that differences in basic beliefs are ineradicable and must be honored in the context of schooling. It allows us a glimpse into the particular commitments and struggles that helped forge Reformed thinking about schooling in its Kuyperian version, and in doing so provides helpful perspective as we consider present-day impasses.”
