But they always display the qualities that characterise him as an illustrator and designer: a sense of humour that can vary from mild to sardonic, a poetic imagination, a preference for illustrating abstract concepts and universal emotions - and a sideways, surrealistic view of reality.
Corruptible

The Klaas Schilder Reader
Recovering a forgotten theologian. Klaas Schilder (1890–1952) was a prominent Dutch Reformed theologian in the early twentieth century, first as a pastor and then as a professor. While his fame spread to North America in the 1940s, he is mostly forgotten today. In The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings, readers will rediscover this important Dutch theologian. Working in the tradition of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, Schilder applies Dutch Neo-Calvinism to the twentieth century. This includes secularism, the rise and influence of Karl Barth, opposition to Nazism, and the relation between the church and society. The Klaas Schilder Reader contextualizes his work and furthers the neo-Calvinist tradition.

Summary of Brian Klaas's Corruptible
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The story of Beacon Island is a tale of two islands. On October 28, 1628, a 160-foot-long spice ship called the Batavia set sail from the Netherlands. The trading vessel was part of a fleet owned by the Dutch East India Company, a corporate empire that dominated global trade. #2 When the ship broke apart, Cornelisz was one of the few who survived. He eventually made it to the refuge of soggy sand on what is now Beacon Island. The chaos and anarchy of survival instincts reverted to the established order of hierarchy and status. #3 The island of Ata, in the Tongan archipelago, was the home of six boys who ran away from their boarding school in 1965. They stole a fishing boat and started sailing north. On the first day, they only made it five miles before they decided to drop anchor and rest for the night. As they tried to sleep, a strong storm tossed around their boat, ripping away the anchor and destroying the rudder. #4 The boys were shipwrecked on a remote island, and were saved by an Australian named Peter Warner. They were brought back to Tonga, and were reunited with their families.
