Thread: Which work of a Dutch Theologion would you like to be transelated ?

I was wondering ???? :

* A. Kuyper (like : commentary of the Heidelberg Catechism)
* Oomius (like : theologica practica)

Abraham Kuyper's work on politics:
Ons Program
Antirevolutionaire Staatkunde (2 vol.)
Parlimentaire Redevoeringen (4 vol.) - this is a lot of his parlimentary speeches and papers.

Pro Rege (3 vol.) - His work on the kingship of Christ. This was actually begun for translation but was stopped for some reason.

Dictaten Dogmatiek (10 Vol. in 5)
Vol. 1
Locus de Deo

Vol. 2
Locus de Sacra Scriptura
Creatione
Creaturis

Vol. 3
Locus de Providentia
Peccato
Foedere
Christo

Vol. 4
Locus de Salute
Ecclesia
Sacramentis

Vol. 5
Locus de
Magistratu
Consummatione
Saeculi

I have all of the above books and would be happy to scan them in and OCR them to provide a digital text to work from if I knew someone would work on translating them.

I would also second his 4 volumes on E Voto (the catechism)

Chris, why don't just have a poll question, and ask? Than leave Abraham Kuyper as the only possible answer.

Any works which have not already been translated into English by the following:

Abraham Kuyper
Gisbertus Voetius
Herman Bavinck
Herman Witsius
Gerard Brandt
Guillaume Groen Van Prinsterer
Andre Rivet (French Huguenot in Leiden)
Willem Teelinck
Petrus van Mastricht
Jacobus Koellman
Johannes Hoornbeeck
Wilhelmus a Brakel
Jan Jakob van Oosterzee
Jacobus Koelman

Andrew reminded me...

I would love to see the volume of correspondance between Van Prinsterer and Kuyper translated. I don't have that one yet...

I'd settle for just being able to find a copy of Coccecius somewhere. Even though he wrote in Latin, his Summa Doctrinae de Foedere et Testamento Dei is supposed to be one of the original formulations of covenant theology by the Reformers. The only thing I have been able to find is van Asselt's The Federal Theology of Johannes Cocceius, which is apparently a review and summary of what he wrote.

Cocceius
Von Mastricht

Definitely Van Mastricht. I wish someone would "hurry up" and get to that! :P Anyone know Dutch well?

My understanding is that Cocceius was a Cartesian heretic.

Hoping for some clarity on Cocceius myself. I read recently that his view on CT had him denying the abiding validity of the Sabbath. Did not Voetius attempt to correct that?

A lot of people at my school do. Unfortunately, I don't! But, you could recommend your picks to the Dutch Reformed Translation Society (which produced Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics).

I'd like to see a "selected shorter writings" of somebody, you know, to give us a flavor of something besides {his/whoever's} 2500 pages of (another!) systematic theology, the magnum opus, and all that. Give me articles and sermons.

"As for me, give me BREVITY, or give me death!"

I second what Rhoades said. I would be interested in a list of works, if extant, of Van Prinsterer that have yet to be translated.

This just came in yesterday. It is 400+ pages of letters between Van Prinsterer and Kuyper. I will gladly digitize them and provide a word document if anyone wants to begin work on this. I think this would be a key work to see the transition between post French Revolution and early 20th century Netherlands.

I wish someone would translate the writings of Voetsius.

How about Kuyper's vast work on grace?
