Abraham Kuyper — The Biblical Criticism of the Present Day, translated from the Dutch by J. Hendrik de Vries and printed in the Bibliotheca Sacra (Vol. LXI, Nos. 243 and 244, July and October 1904; this is the offprint). Published in 1904, it is in the public domain.
Kuyper’s rectorial address at the Free University of Amsterdam. He argues that the biblical criticism of his day, as it is practised at almost every Protestant university on the continent, is destructive of the best interests of the church: it tears the parts of theology out of their relation, robs the church of the Holy Scriptures, and destroys her liberty in Christ. The second part (Article IV) answers the question whether there is no good at all in the critics’ labour, and closes with an appeal to the younger theologians.
