| Summary: | Molendijk’s fine monograph covers the negotiation between theology and modernity in the Netherlands during the nineteenth century, as exemplified in a select number of representative thinkers like, among others, Isaac da Costa, Allard Pierson, Abraham Kuyper, and Abraham Kuenen. Other than Kuyper, the other figures have not received due attention in the Anglophone world. The running thread of Molendijk’s thesis is that, whether these theologians were embracing or critiquing modernity, they re-articulated theology in ways that not only incorporated but also propelled particular modern institutional and intellectual expressions forward. |
