Abstract / Description of output
This paper engages with critiques of neo-Calvinist theology as overly focused on cultural transformation, to the neglect of ecclesiology. It focuses on the relationship of the gospel, the church and cultural transformation in the theologies of Herman Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper, noting that they conceptualise the relationship of these factors in the same way (albeit with differing idiom): the gospel must first transcend the culture in order to transform the culture.
