DenHollander Awarded Kuyper Prize
"We so often confine theology to the four walls of church and home. We don't look at how theology shapes issues we face every day," said Denhollander. "To marry Kuyper's work to what's taking place in the public square right now on many levels is incredibly challenging, but Calvin has long had a history of making place and priority for these conversations. It's a place with a rich understanding of faith and application of theology. So, to be part of that tradition in some small way is deeply humbling."
The Kuyper Prize was established in 1996 by Rimmer and Ruth de Vries and named after Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper. The prize is awarded annually to a scholar or community leader whose contribution to their chosen sphere reflects the ideas and values characteristic of the Neo-Calvinist vision of religious engagement in matters of social, political and cultural significance in one or more aspects of society.
