Wêreldwye Belangstelling in die Kuyperiaanse Reformatoriese Lewensvisie – ook Relevant vir Afrika

Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the worldwide popularity of the so-called Kuyperian, Neo-Calvinistic or Reformational worldview. Since the author is better acquainted with the situation on his own African continent, the first two sections provide some background information, (1) firstly about the history of Christianity in general and, (2) secondly, about elementary and tertiary Christian education in this region of the world. Evidence of the great need on this vast continent for an encompassing, integral Christian worldview is thus provided. The third section (3) deals with Christian worldviews in general and includes the following: first a distinction is made between five major Christian worldviews; then its implications for Christian education are explained. This is followed (4) by an indication of the popularity of Abraham Kuyper’s and his followers’ Reformational worldview. It includes remarks about his life and work, his writings available in English and some examples of his worldwide influence.
