On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Jessica and Robert Joustra, about the new book they've coedited, Calvinism for a Secular Age: A Twenty-First Century Reading of Abraham Kuyper's Stone Lectures. Among the topics we discuss:

– How can we distinguish between all the varieties of Calvinism and Neo-Calvinism?

– Why should North Americans living in the 21st century be interested in lectures on Calvinism given by a 19th century Dutch polymath?

– When it comes to continuing an intellectual tradition, what is the relationship between looking back and looking forward?

– How should we think about Kuyper's flaws, and how should we complicate his legacy?

– What can the Kuyperian tradition learn from the wider Christian world?

– Why might Kuyper's vision be especially appropriate for "a secular age"?
