Dutch theologian (1864-1945) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Huber Kuyper (22 July 1864 – 29 January 1945) was a Dutch theologian.[1]
He was the son of Abraham Kuyper, and was born in Beesd, while his father was pastor there. He studied at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, obtaining his doctorate in theology in 1891.[2] He was appointed professor of this institution in 1899,[3] and served as rector magnificus four times.
In the 1930s, Kuyper wrote a number of articles perceived to be Nazi-friendly.[3] He had no problem accepting members of the NSB as being sincere Christians.[4] During World War II, he regarded the Nazi occupation as a "legal regime".[5]
