This breadth allows readers to encounter Luther the man: the sinner and the saint, the public activist and the private counselor, the theologian and the pastor.

In a day when secular science is seeking to establish hegemony over all knowing, and when postmodern art is threatening to bring an end to art, Kuyper's solid, biblical insights can help to restore perspective and sanity to these two critical areas of human life. _Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship and Colson Center for Christian Worldview\\Abraham Kuyper's Common Grace is founded on a deep devotion to the notions of God's sovereignty and our obligation to participate in the divine call to be obedient to the lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas of life.
