Wisdom & Wonder At Hearts & Minds Books
Sep 7, 2025 9:12 AM

We are excited about our friend, Byron Borger at Hearts & Minds Books, carrying Wisdom & Wonder, “the long-awaited, freshly-translated, newly-produced, collection of newspaper pieces that Dr. Kuyper wrote so many years ago.” This book is a part of the larger mon grace” work that we are in the process of translating. We hope to have Volume 1 available by Fall 2012. Click herefor more information on the Kuyper Translation Project.

Nicholas Woltersdorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology of Yale University describes Wisdom and Wonder as “an eloquent theological antidote to the anti-intellectualist and anti-artistic impulses that infect so much of the contemporary church….Though Kuyper wrote these words more than one hundred years ago, they have lost none of their bite and relevance.”

Mike Wittmer, professor of theology at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary says, “American evangelicals are deeply influenced by Neo-Calvinist authors who stand on the shoulders of Abraham Kuyper. Thanks to Acton Institute and Kuyper College, we are now able to drink large gulps straight from the man himself.Wisdom & Wonderis essential reading for all of us who aspire to live well in God’s world, and these lectures on science and art are a particularly relevant place to begin. Nothing is more hotly contested and confused than these two areas of culture, and nothing stands in greater need of Kuyper’s biblical tension between creation and fall and mon and particular grace. Kuyper’s deft handling of these worldview themes proves once again that sometimes the way forward begins with a glance back.”

Trump, Fauci, and economists cannot escape morality
This article has been retracted at the mutual agreement of the author and the publisher. ...
Against idols of success: from self-indulgence to creative service
Propelled by an expansion in economic opportunity and the resounding cultural call to “follow your passion,” we increasingly imagine our work through lenses of calling, vocation, and “meaning-making.” From there, peting philosophies of life abound. For the Christian, such a development inspires us to orient our hearts beyond merely materialistic transactions, redefining our work not as a means of self-fulfillment, but rather as service to our neighbors and thus to God. When directed toward the call of Christ, our economic...
Acton Line podcast: Rise of the national conservatives with Matthew Continetti
The conservative movement in America has always been evolving. From the old right of the progressive era to the conservative intellectual movement identified with William F. Buckley Jr. and National Review to the Reagan revolution to today, the political right in America has changed with the challenges it has faced and with the context of the times in which it has existed. The current iteration of the conservative movement is today more nationalist, more populist and more skeptical, if not...
What’s behind the Beirut explosion? Corruption ‘greater than the state’
On Monday, the Lebanese government resigned. Public pressure on the government had been relentless in the wake of two devastating explosions on the afternoon of August 4 at the port in the nation’s capital city, Beirut. The explosions caused at least 220 deaths, 7,000 injuries, billions in property damage, and have left hundreds of thousands homeless. These explosions were caused by the ignition of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in an unsecured warehouse at Beirut’s cargo port. The ammonium...
New York AG takes aim at the NRA and the rule of law
The attorney general of New York state, Letitia James, fired a shot across the bow of the National Rifle Association last week, filing a lawsuit to “dissolve” the nation’s largest gun rights organization “in its entirety.” This punitive legal action is aimed like a Gatling gun at our civic foundations. James charged four NRA officials with defrauding the New York-based nonprofit of $64 million over three years to finance a lavish lifestyle for themselves, their families, and friends. The specific...
Rev. Ben Johnson discusses Black Lives Matter on ‘The Lars Larson Show’
Why would a movement dedicated to black advancement want to dismantle the family, when fatherlessness is associated with every social malady from poverty and crime to delinquency and low self-esteem? Is the racially tinged socialism promoted by Black Lives patible with the U.S. Constitution? And why does BLM demand that America pay reparations to nations where terrorists have attacked U.S. soldiers or civilians? I had the privilege of discussing these issues and more on Tuesday, August 11, on “The Lars...
Cuba loosens restrictions on private businesses to battle COVID-19
Over the past decade, Cuba’s private sector has experienced slow-but-steady growth thanks to a mix of entrepreneurial grit and incremental policy changes. Although the Communist government continues to waffle on the scope and duration of various restrictions, the number of self-employed Cubans has risen from 150,000 to 600,000 since 2010 – that is, until the outbreak of the global health pandemic. COVID-19 has brought new challenges to the Cuban economy. Declines in travel and tourism have meant merce and less...
Pro-democracy media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai arrested in Hong Kong
Hong Kong-based media entrepreneur and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai was arrested by police in Hong Kong on the morning of Monday, August 10. Lai has been charged with “collusion with foreign powers,” according to Next Digital executive and Lai’s aide Mark Simon. Rev. Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, has released the follow statement on the incident: As expected, Hong Kong media entrepreneur and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai was arrested Monday morning by police in Hong Kong...
Reviving Native American economies through dignity, property, and personhood
“Let me be a free man – free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself – and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty.” – Chief Joseph, Lincoln Hall Speech, 1879. America prides itself on a distinctive legacy of freedom and justice. Yet despite our nation’s many enduring...
Jimmy Lai: China must embrace ‘Western values’
Jimmy Lai, the Hong Kong-based entrepreneur and dissident, says he would gladly be arrested again, because advocating for human freedom is part of his character. And until China respects the freedom embedded in human nature, peace will not return to his formerly free province – or the world. More than 200 police officers stormed the offices of Lai’s newspaper, Apple Daily on August 10 under the terms of the nation’s draconian new “national security law.” They handcuffed the 71-year-old Christian,...
