As Kuyper said in 1898, even then we needed “a new development of Calvinism.” And as Bavinck wrote, metaphysics died and knowledge of God was replaced with simply doing the will of God. We became Christian machines in a mechanistic cosmology, but now is philosophical nihilism.

That’s well said, David. I may very well use that.

Feel free to. The quotes from Kuyper and Bavinck are on my substack page commentary from last week entitled, “what is a Christian view of law?”

Love the article! I'm passionate about this topic too! I've personally shifted away from the term "disenchantment" and now favor "misenchantment" which I accounts for the dark enchantment of the immanent frame.
