Abraham Kuyper and evolution

Abstract

This paper explores Kuyper’s approach to evolution and evolutionism. He was opposed to evolutionism as it has roots in monism and pantheism; it promotes atheism. However, he did leave the way open to support some form of evolution that was guided by God and not random chance.

“…He did, however, leave the door open for some sort of evolution that was directed by God rather than chance. Bishop (2022b) looks at some of Kuyper's critics. The paper focuses on primarily theological disputes and only briefly alludes to the more recent critiques of his cultural stereotyping and his alleged basis for South African apartheid.…”
