This five-volume publication of lecture notes on dogmatics improved the previous edition (see1891.18) in its editing, typography, paper quality, and binding. The previous edition had been produced as cheaply as possible by three different publishers over a period of ten years. After the first edition had been sold out for quite some time, K. Dijk (1885–1968; professor at the Theologische Hoogeschool in Kampen, 1937–1955), a theology student at the Vrije Universiteit, petitioned the directors of the Vrije Universiteit (on behalf of the Theology Faculty Association) to republish Kuyper’s lecture notes on dogmatics. The notes had originally been published at the expense of the Association for Higher Education on Reformed Principles. Kuyper had no objections to publishing a new edition. Although the directors decided against the proposal, J.H. Kok declared itself prepared to publish a new edition. Kok asked K. Dijk to edit and revise the proofs (cf. De Reformatie 18, no. 5, October 29, 1937).

This second edition was also not publicly sold. The prospectus (dated November 25, 1909) was sent to a selected group of potential buyers with the imprint “personal.” However, the target group was wider for the second edition than for the first. Pastors and theology students at universities other than the Vrije Universiteit could also now register for the volumes. This new edition was reprinted with almost no changes. The pagination of the first edition was maintained, to the detriment of the layout. Kok also bought the rights to the Inhoudsopgave der Loci (see 1891.18), very likely compiled by H. Hasper (app. 1.05), and added the corresponding parts of this table of contents to each volume. Kuyper wrote a short foreword, indicating once again (see 1886.04) that he intended to publish his dogmatic theology. K. Dijk wrote a short statement explaining the second edition, signing it as de corrector [the proofreader].

According to the prospectus, Kok aimed to publish a complete edition of all five volumes in approximately three years. Its production journal (GAK/AK), which establishes the publication year of the first and also the last volume, shows that Kok accomplished this goal.
