1. INTRODUCTION
Of the making of books by and of Kuyper (thankfully), there is no end - with apologies to Qoheleth. This is certainly true in 2016, which has been another great one for Kuyperania, not least because the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society has got into its stride and has released three major translations of Kuyper's work. There has also been one critical response to Kuyper's Common Grace publication, several journal articles - two introductory and two seeking to refine Kuyper's thought. In what follows I will examine these contributions. (There has been no publication this year of the Kuyper Center Review.)
2. TRANSLATIONS OF KUYPER
The three books from the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society are the first volumes of Common Grace, Pro Rege and On the Church. The details in the style of Kuipers (2011) are as follows:
