In Memory of Stahl
Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer. I heard that you don't know who Stahl is. And I could not help wondering - please pardon my incivility, but ... what rock have you been hiding under? Never heard of Stahl? Why, he is simply one of the greatest statesmen and legal scholars that Germany ever produced. "Everyone knows Stahl - usually without wanting to. For he has many opponents, who execrated what he stood for. They had a host of names for him: 'a friend of compulsion, of princely absolutism, of medieval prejudices and misconceptions, a thoughtless fanatic, attached to obsolete forms, who foolishly mixes politics wit...
Unbelief and Revolution
God's word illumines the darkness of society. Groen van Prinsterer's Unbelief and Revolution is a foundational work addressing the inherent tension between religion and modernity. As a historian and politician, Groen was intimately familiar with the growing divide between secular culture and the church in his time. Rather than embrace this division, these lectures, originally published in 1847, argue for a renewed interaction between the two spheres. Groen's work served as an inspiration for many contemporary theologians, and as a mentor to Abraham Kuyper, he had a profound impact on Kuyper's famous public theology. Harry Van Dyke, the original translator, reintroduces this vital contribution to our understanding of the relationship between religion and society.
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
Groen van Prinsterer argues in Liberty, Equality, Fraternity that the French Revolution promised freedom yet enslaved; promised equality yet promoted inequality; promised brotherhood, yet has isolated men.

Building A Nation On Rock or Sand
Netherlandic parliamentarian Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer (1801-1876) concluded that a nation can be built on rock or sand. He sorted through years of documents comparing the spirit of the people with the development of the nation. He discovered that when divine sovereignty was replaced by humanistic arbitrary decisions, it led to revolutionary trends in society. He spent the rest of his life writing about and resisting this trend. His life was not easy but hopeful. Groen's ideas are growing in importance as they bridge a greater time period. Building a Nation... challenges us to make our participation in society most meaningful.
Narratives of Low Countries History and Culture
This edited collection explores the ways in which our understanding of the past in Dutch history and culture can be rethought to consider not only how it forms part of the present but how it can relate also to the future. Divided into three parts – The Uses of Myth and History, The Past as Illumination of Cultural Context, and Historiography in Focus – this book seeks to demonstrate the importance of the past by investigating the transmission of culture and its transformations. It reflects on the history of historiography and looks critically at the products of the historiographic process, such as Dutch and Afrikaans literary history. The chapters cover a range of disciplines and approac...
