### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent but Incomplete
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2011*

This "short and personal introduction" to Abraham Kuyper is a bit too short and too personal.  Kuyper was not only a theologian but a political figure.  He served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands and was a founder of the Anti-Revolutionary Party, a forebear of today's Christian Democratic Appeal in the Netherlands and of European Christian Democracy.  Mouw's book shortchanges Kuyper's place as a politician and political theorist.Kuyper's theological conception of "sphere sovereignty" is inextricably bound to his opposition to the radical Enlightenment vision of the French Revolution.  The French revolutionary government "issued decrees against the religious orders and passed laws abolishing trade unions and other social bodies, pressing further and further into the corporate and communal structures of religion, work, and family life.  In this context, labor associations and religious associations were similarly excluded from the law and denied communal sovereignty in their respective realms [spheres] of work and spiritual development."  {Lew Daly, "The Church of Labor," Democracy Journal, Fall 2011}  Kuyper rejected such an all-encompassing role for the state.  Instead, he promoted a corporatist structure in which social groups such as churches, trade unions, and employer associations would have assigned legal roles.In this brief volume Mouw touches on all these issues, but he does little to connect Kuyper's political activities and his theological views.  Mouw's introduction to Kuyper is excellent as far as it goes but seems incomplete.  For a more thorough introduction to Kuyper, choose

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Energizing.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2019*

Mouw’s brief portrayal of Kuyper’s theology was so clear and practical! I find myself really energized toward helping friends and colleagues engage with their culture and community.  We can do this because we recognize the there is not a square inch . . .

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    No Sphere Sovereignty for Jews
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2021*

While Mouw discusses Kuyper's racism, he does not address Kuyper's Anti Semitism.Serious omission given Kuyper wanted to make Jews second class citizens. Not exactlyan example of sphere sovereignty. I finished this book wanting much more information.Far too superficial even for a brief introduction.Lee
