Gracia Común: Dádivas de Dios para un mundo caído Vol. 3
Digital Logos Edition
Reseña
Gracia Común a menudo se considera la obra cumbre de Abraham Kuyper, una exploración de cómo Dios expresa gracia incluso a los no salvos. Kuyper creía firmemente que, aunque muchas personas en el mundo seguirán sin convertirse, la gracia de Dios todavía se muestra al mundo en su conjunto. El segundo volumen de Gracia Común contiene la exploración doctrinal de Kuyper sobre el impacto y las implicaciones de este aspecto de la teología reformada.
En este tercer y último volumen de Gracia Común, Kuyper lleva su argumento a su conclusión lógica recurriendo a implicaciones prácticas. Con exploraciones detalladas sobre asuntos de la iglesia y el estado, la familia, la educación y la sociedad, Kuyper proporciona una guía práctica para todos los que desean prosperar dentro del orden creado, un mundo en el que la gracia de Dios se otorga generosamente a todos.

Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920) was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands between 1901 and 1905. He founded the Free University in Amsterdam and served as a professor of theology. At the invitation of B. B. Warfield, Kuyper traveled to the United States to deliver the Stone Lectures at Princeton and address Reformed congregations in Michigan and Iowa.
Kuyper studied at the University of Leiden, and received his doctorate there in 1863. He became a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church in 1863, and consistently called for the separation of church and state. He also led a secession from the Dutch Reformed Church and united several disparate Reformed churches in the Netherlands.
Kuyper also led an active political life. He served as a member of Parliament in the Netherlands beginning in 1874 and served as prime minister from 1901–1905.
Abraham Kuyper was instrumental in the development of Neocalvinism, and is remembered for his articulation of common grace and for popularizing the notion of a Reformed worldview. He has influenced such notable figures as Francis Schaeffer, Cornelius Van Til, Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and Chuck Colson.
Some of Kuyper’s publications, which are available in Logos, include Wisdom & Wonder: Common Grace in Science & Art, The Antithesis between Symbolism and Revelation, and Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles.
