Mouw (Christian philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary) collects 13 previously published essays to provide a background to his writing and to help make ideas associated with a Kuyperian perspective accessible to a non-scholarly audience. Kuyper (1837-1920) was a Dutch politician and theologian. Among the topics are Calvin's legacy for public theology, modal diversity in Dooyeweerd's social thought, Klass Schilder as public theologian, some intra-Reform debates on baptism and the salvific status of children, and Dutch Calvinist philosophical influences in North America. The collection is not indexed. Annotation 2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
