The Essential Calvinism

The Essential Calvinism was inspired by Abraham Kuyper’s 1898 lecture on Calvinism, in which Kuyper argued that Calvinism ought to be conceived of as a comprehensive system of thought. In this volume—published ten years later on Calvin’s four hundredth birthday in 1909, J. Seldon Strong pushes Kuyper’s argument one step further. This volume contains chapters on the development of Calvinism, the theological sources of The Institutes, Calvinism applied, theocracy, and the dynamics of Protestantism.
