Lectures on Calvinism offers a timeless exploration of the theology and thinking of key reformer John Calvin. These six classic lectures by distinguished scholar Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) on the key figure in Reformation theology were delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1898. Kuyper introduces Calvinism as a life-system, discussing its relationship to religion, politics, science, and art. According to Kuyper, Calvinism seeks to unify the cosmos under universal laws. For instance, he states that predestination proves that a set of laws exists to govern the world, and science is merely trying to figure them out. Kuyper defends Calvinism in the realm of art as well, providing a thorough and elegant explanation of this outlook on life. The collection is called Lectures on Calvinism and not lectures on Christianity because Kuyper believed that Calvinism most truthfully and most completely articulates the Biblical Christian faith.… (mehr)

I enjoyed the first 3-4 lectures, but found myself skimming the remainder. ( )

Chuck Colson recommended this book in an interview. I like it how he integrates Calvinism within his worldview. He has a high view of Calvinism, frequently says it is the reason for many changes in Western Society. This is interesting; However I couldn't find sources to back his claims.

Kuyper emphasizes giving God everything, an unflinching service; He adds saying, In everything God is present, our thoughts, our actions. He explains influence of Calvinism in Protestant countries, concepts of Sovereignty, Liberty underpins or comes from Calvinism. I was surprised to read about French Revolution in his book.

He starts with, three main relationship for every Calvinist.

Man's relationship with God
Man's relationship with other Men
Man's relationship with whole World.

This gives Man an authority and his role in the world.

A good read, I would recommend this to most Christians.

This book is the collection of transcripts of a lecture series that Kuyper gave in 1898. Though outdated on a number of points, he compellingly argues for Calvinism as a life system, rather than just a set of beliefs (or a single belief about fore-ordination). The Calvinistic views of the sovereignty of God and the doctrine of common grace form the pillars for a system which infuses and interprets all of life.
In "Calvinism A Life-System," he argues that Calvinism fulfills the requirements of a life-system, which are that it shape our relationship to God (God enters into direct fellowship with people and communes with his people "from eternity to eternity" because of election), to other people (we stand as equals together, all in direct relationship to God), and to the world (we are to serve God in the world, rather than running from it).
In "Calvinism and Religion," Kuyper says that regeneration saves not just individuals, but the entire organism of the human race, although "many branches and leaves fell off of the tree."
In "Calvinism and Politics," Kuyper argues that Christians are to push the development of the world continually forward, but allow the government to maintain sovereignty in its sphere as the church does in its own sphere. ( )
