Common Grace, Vol. 1: The Historical Section, Part 1: Noah–Adam

Abraham Kuyper’s seminal three-volume work Common Grace (De Gemeene Gratie) presents a constructive public theology of cultural engagement rooted in the common humanity of Christians and non-Christians. Kuyper, a remarkable Dutch politician, journalist, educator, statesman, and Reformed theologian, was also a brilliant communicator and prolific writer. This work displays Kuyper at his finest as he draws Christians back to the biblical principles that guide believers in the development of a winsome and constructive social witness.

This complete, first-ever English translation will help Christians find answers to questions about how the gospel addresses our roles in public life, cultural leadership, and the beneficial contributions of all people, especially those in the arts and sciences. Common Grace provides a much-needed opportunity to absorb Kuyper’s insights about God’s marvelous designs for human cultural life and to realize afresh how God’s providence extends to all facets of human life. In volume one, Kuyper develops a historical argument based on the earliest chapters of Genesis.
