As a pastor and theologian, he was just as concerned about the ailing Dutch church. In \u003ci\u003eOn the Church, \u003c\/i\u003e the Acton Institute and the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society have partnered with Lexham Press to publish seven brand-new translations of Kuyper's most influential essays and speeches on the relationship between Christianity and the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKuyper believed that Christians must neither hide from the world behind the walls of physical church buildings nor engage the world solely through earthly institutions. The introductory essay by Ad de Bruijne discusses how Kuyper's incisive view of the church still can--and must--apply today, just as it did at the turn of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexham Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781577996750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 6.90w x 1.70d","brand":"Abraham Kuyper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42561908637877,"sku":"9781577996750","price":42.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ad3643d0-47ea-4ac9-827c-88a9ec3a658f.jpg?v=1670942788","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/on-the-church-9781577996750","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
