Abstract

Most readers of this journal are likely familiar with the name Abraham Kuyper. Some names that perhaps may not be so familiar are Kuyper’s predecessors and successors. Harry Van Dyke, Professor Emeritus of History at Redeemer University in Canada, has ably examined seven who preceded Kuyper and seven who came after him. The seven predecessors discussed are:

  1. Willem Bilderdijk (1756–1831),
  2. Isaac da Costa (1798–1860),
  3. Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer (1801–1876),
  4. Otto Gerhard Heldring (1804–1876),
  5. Johan Adam Wormser (1807–1862),
  6. Isaac Esser (1818–1885), and
  7. Klaas Kater (1850–1916).
