Twelve asterisms reprinted from De Standaard 9 (1880), no. 2654, November 15 1880–no. 2693, December 31, 1880, and 10 (1881), no. 2718, January 31, 1881. These are printed together with a lead article from De Standaard 9 (1880), no. 2656, November 17, 1880 and a series of follow-up articles: Publiek vermaak I–XV from De Standaard 9 (1880), no. 2680, December 15, 1880–no. 2691, December 29, 1880, and 10 (1881), no. 2698, January 5, 1881–no. 2736, February 21, 1881 (cf. 1881.01). Also included is Roomsche polemiek I–III from De Standaard 10 (1881), no. 2744, March 2, 1881–no. 2748, March 7, 1881. One article by Prof. Rutgers is also reprinted.

This reprinting was occasioned by the commotion in the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and in the circles of the Vrije Universiteit caused by the staging of Saul and David by the Christian Student Drama Club at the Stadsschouwburg of Amsterdam on April 15, 1924, the week before Easter. Saul and David is a tragedy in four acts by Israel Querido (1872–1932). Fourteen students from the Vrije Universiteit took part in this production (see also 1924.01). Dr. J.C. de Moor (1878–1926), the reviewer for De Heraut (no. 2426, July 20, 1924), wondered whether Kuyper would have approved of this reprinting of his articles because he subsequently spoke and wrote more positively about this issue.

The edition was published on July 2, 1924, the day of the forty-fourth annual meeting of the Association for Higher Education on Reformed Principles, where the issues surrounding the performance—which bore on the larger question of Christianity and culture—were discussed at length.
