The true genius of Presbyterianism.
In: The Presbyterian 76 (1906), no. 18, May 2, 1906, pp. 12–14.

Kuyper wrote this essay at the request of the editorial staff for a special issue of The Presbyterian commemorating the bicentennial anniversary of the founding of the supreme judicatory of the Presbyterian Church. The article opens with a eulogy for the Presbyterian churches in the United States, “the only land of absolute church independence.” In a short analysis of its historical and contemporary context, Kuyper discusses the meaning of the word “Presbyterian” in five points.

Kuyper wrote the article during a short break from his travels through and around the Balkans, southern Russia, and the Mediterranean. The journey took place from August 5, 1905 to the middle of June 1906 (see 1907.13)—though, due to the illness of one of his daughters, Kuyper temporarily interrupted his travels in 1906 and returned to The Hague for a few weeks.
