The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings

Recovering a forgotten theologian.

Klaas Schilder (18901952) was a prominent Dutch Reformed theologian in the early twentieth century, first as a pastor and then as a professor. While his fame spread to North America in the 1940s, he is mostly forgotten today. In Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings, readers will rediscover this important Dutch theologian.

Working in the tradition of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, Schilder applies Dutch Neo--Calvinism to the twentieth century. This includes secularism, the rise and influence of Karl Barth, opposition to Na*ism, and the relation between the church and society. Schilder Reader contextualizes his work and furthers the neo--Calvinist tradition.
