Wisdom & Wonder At Hearts & Minds Books
Nov 8, 2024 5:44 AM

We are excited about our friend, Byron Borger at Hearts & Minds Books, carrying Wisdom & Wonder, “the long-awaited, freshly-translated, newly-produced, collection of newspaper pieces that Dr. Kuyper wrote so many years ago.” This book is a part of the larger mon grace” work that we are in the process of translating. We hope to have Volume 1 available by Fall 2012. Click herefor more information on the Kuyper Translation Project.

Nicholas Woltersdorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology of Yale University describes Wisdom and Wonder as “an eloquent theological antidote to the anti-intellectualist and anti-artistic impulses that infect so much of the contemporary church….Though Kuyper wrote these words more than one hundred years ago, they have lost none of their bite and relevance.”

Mike Wittmer, professor of theology at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary says, “American evangelicals are deeply influenced by Neo-Calvinist authors who stand on the shoulders of Abraham Kuyper. Thanks to Acton Institute and Kuyper College, we are now able to drink large gulps straight from the man himself.Wisdom & Wonderis essential reading for all of us who aspire to live well in God’s world, and these lectures on science and art are a particularly relevant place to begin. Nothing is more hotly contested and confused than these two areas of culture, and nothing stands in greater need of Kuyper’s biblical tension between creation and fall and mon and particular grace. Kuyper’s deft handling of these worldview themes proves once again that sometimes the way forward begins with a glance back.”

Post-COVID economics: Toward a paradigm of social collaboration
In times of economic crisis, the planning class has routinely relied on a particular set of assumptions to construct their supposed solutions. This has been no less true in the policy responses to COVID-19, which prised a predictable mix of so-called stimulus and monetarist monkey business. Such interventionism has always been misguided, of course. But given the uniqueness of our present situation, those fundamental weaknesses have e especially pronounced. Unlike the economic crises of the past, ours is one predicated...
Hong Kong and the enduring value of the Declaration of Independence
American exceptionalism cannot be appreciated without contrast. Compare these two scenes: On Wednesday night throngs of rioters rampaged through Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, inflicting “massive amounts of property damage, looting,” and “arson” without sustaining a single arrest. One night earlier in Hong Kong, police arrested peaceful protesters so petrified of breaking its Orwellian new “national security law” that they held blank white placards. Few images could throw the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence into starker relief. On one...
The worst Twitter hack
On Wednesday, July 15, some of Twitter’s most prominent accounts – including those of President Barak Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Apple, and many others – were hacked in an unprecedented Twitter attack. Nick Statt, writing for The Verge, gives a nice summary of the unfolding of this attack: The chaos began when Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Twitter account was promised by a hacker intent on using it to run a bitcoin scam. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’ account...
Culture matters: China’s pre-revolutionary remnants
In our efforts to reduce poverty and spur economic growth, it can be easy to be consumed with top-down policy solutions and debates about the proper allocation of resources. Yet as many economists are beginning to recognize, the distinguishing features of flourishing societies are more readily found at the levels of culture – in our attitudes, beliefs, and imaginations. According to economist David Rose, for example, “it is indeed culture – not genes, geography, institutions, policies, or leadership – that...
Acton Line podcast: Religious liberty at the Supreme Court
The latest term of the Supreme Court, which wrapped up on July 8th, saw the Court decide several cases with major implications for religious liberty. While the es of Espinoza v. Montana, Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru and Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania have been largely viewed as victories for advocates of expanding religious liberty in America, the court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch and holding that an employer who...
Bari Weiss and a lesson in media literacy
In June, Columbia University’s Teachers College Center for Educational Equity and a group called DemocracyReady NY issued a report that called for New York state to take “immediate and decisive steps to require media literacy education in K-12 schools throughout the state.” With that in mind, here is a proposed media literacy lesson. First, read the resignation letter of Bari Weiss, an op-ed editor at the New York Times. Discuss these key insights from her letter: 1. Twitter is not...
6 quotes: The Report of the Commission on Unalienable Rights
This week, a mittee plished the rarest of all achievements: It produced a government document worth reading. On Thursday, July 16, the U.S. Commission on Unalienable Rights released a clear, enlightened, prehensive report on the origins, authentic content, and illegitimate expansion of human rights. The report is perhaps the best civic education on the matter in decades. “[H]uman rights are now misunderstood by many, manipulated by some, rejected by the world’s worst violators, and subject to ominous new threats,” it...
Acton Line podcast: The intersection of faith and economics with Russ Roberts
Since 2006, economist Russ Roberts – the John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution – has hosted the podcast EconTalk, a weekly deep conversation with economists and thinkers from other disciplines on ideas related both directly and indirectly to economics and the economic way of thinking. Economics is a powerful analytic tool which can empower us to choose more wisely as both individuals and groups. Such tools, however, should not be confused as either ends in...
The Tucker Carlson-Sean Hannity showdown: Who was right?
The underlying tensions between national conservatism and a more pro-business Republican orthodoxy burst into the open during a 24-second, primetime exchange on Fox News Channel. During the hand-off between hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Hannity seemingly rebuked his lead-in for criticizing Jeff Bezos’ fortune. A personal rebuff Tucker Carlson closed his top-rated cable news program with a segment dedicated to the Amazon owner, whose net worth surged by $13 billion on Monday – the largest one-day...
The roots of radicals’ rage
As our country is engulfed in the flames of discord, our task is more than merely reporting on events, calling for an end to racism, or making emotional appeals to unity. As Thomas Aquinas reminds us, wrongdoing follows when emotions disobey mands. When our passions fetter reason and make it their slave, we cannot see how others are using us as pawns in an ideological game. Against the reign of passions, reason acknowledges two principles—both included by Aquinas as a...
