Abraham Kuyper died in 1920 at the age of 83. Fifty years after his death, a little book was published in The Netherlands with the curious title: Gesprek Over de Onbekende Kuyper—A Conversation About The Unknown Kuyper. Kuyper unknown? How could a man be unknown who had been a public figure for nearly two generations? Who in his lifetime wrote some 200 books, pamphlets, and brochures? A man who had founded a daily newspaper which he edited for nearly 50 years, during which time he wrote literally thousands of articles and editorials which constitute a running commentary on the political and ecclesiastical life of the Netherlands during a period of nearly half a century. A man who had helped found a university at which he lectured for many years. A man who had founded a political party of which he remained leader for forty years. A man who had served several terms in both the Upper and Lower Chambers of his country's Parliament. A man who had achieved the highest political office that his land had to offer- that of Prime Minister.
