Written by Frank Vanden Berg

Abraham Kuyper was one of the foremost leaders in politics, education, and the church in the Netherlands, from 1865 to 1917, a period of over 50 years. His influence is still felt today in his native land and his writings have been translated into the language of many other countries.

Kuyper is unique in that he carried on parallel careers in separate major fields, both as a thinker and as a doer. He carried a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other, for he was both a builder and a battler. His followers loved him with warm, undying devotion, while his enemies hated him as they hated no one else.

This biography, which is aimed at the general reader, gives us a running account of Kuyper’s 83 years on earth. It outlines his personal history and sketches the background whenever the scene shifts to a new phase in Kuyper’s many-sided career, that included that of serving as the country's prime minister and leader of the Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP), as founder of Amsterdam's Free University (VU), as a journalist and daily newspaper editor (De Standaard), and as a theologian and a moving force in the rise of the Reformed Church in the Netherlands (GKN), although not in that order.
