The Prolongation of the Incarnation? Abraham Kuyper and the Telos of Humanity
What does the Incarnation mean beyond Christ's birth? This article explores how Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper's understanding of the Incarnation developed over time, arguing that his later emphasis on Christ's humiliation narrowed its broader significance for creation, worship, and culture. By revisiting Kuyper's earlier writings, the author invites readers to recover a richer vision of the Incarnation as God's ongoing work of renewal in the Church, creation, and every sphere of human life.
