191 pages ; 23 cm "This book is a rare critique of Kuyper's cultural theory of a common grace of God and of the grandiose mission of this grace, and of those who confess the theory and evidently intend to promote it so that it accomplishes the end Kuyper claimed. It exposes Kuyper's biblical basis for his theory and its practical mission: the covenant with Nah of Genesis 9 and the grand worldview passage in the New Testament, Colossians 1:13-20." Introduction -- The Kuyperian common grace project -- The power of christianizing the world -- Creedal and Biblical basis of the common grace worldview -- Reformed critique of Kuyper's common grace worldview: The confessions -- Scripture -- The cultural calling of the Christian -- Answers to questions.
