Abraham Kuyper — Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles, translated from the Dutch by J. Hendrik de Vries, with an introductory note by Benjamin B. Warfield (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1898).
The English version of the general part of Kuyper’s three-volume Encyclopaedie der Heilige Godgeleerdheid (1894). In three divisions Kuyper traces the name and idea of encyclopedia; sets out the organism of science, how sin has impaired it, and why regeneration produces two kinds of people and so two kinds of science; and then treats theology itself — its conception, its principium in the self-revelation of God and the Holy Scripture, its method, its organism and its history.
