Author Biography

Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920), prime minister of the Netherlands and founder of the Free University of Amsterdam, applied a revived confessional Calvinism to all areas of modern Dutch life. The faith that inspired him and his followers in this effort is captured in his published weekly meditations. Honey from the Rock, now available in translation, is the first of these meditations to be published in book form.
