The Abraham Kuyper Chronicles

5. Abraham Kuyper the Journalist with Johan Snel


Listen Later

Today we're joined with Johan Snel author “The Seven Lives of Abraham Kuyper” and most recently “Abraham Kuyper, A Life in Journalism." Today Kuyper is known, at least in North America, as a Theologian and a politician, but in his own day was known chiefly as journalist. For almost 50 years the unrelenting pen of Kuyper was his chief exploit. Join us as we discuss Bram's contributions to journalism as well as we correct some oft-quoted/assumed quasi-"history" on Kuyper (like, for example, "Kuyper was a polemicist and loved to fight!" But, was he?). We also go into detail in regards to what were the outlets in which he wrote? How many pages were the papers? How many articles? What were his chief subjects? How much did it cost to buy a copy? What was the circulation? Who else contributed on the same outlets? Etc.
