• Extra informatie: - Unbelief and Revolution is a work by Dutch statesman and historian Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer, based on historical lectures delivered in 1845-46 and published in Dutch as 'Ongeloof en Revolutie' in 1847. Written during the post-Napoleonic Restoration in the Netherlands, the book critiques the secular and liberal ideologies that emerged from the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Groen argues that the 'unbelief' - a rejection of Christian truth - lies at the root of modern political revolution and social decay. His work blends historical narrative with philosophical and theological insight, defying neat academic classification. Though not a traditional history, theology, or political treatise, it offers a compelling synthesis of all three. Van Dijk’s study introduces this Dutch classic to the modern English reader, emphasizing its significance as both a prophetic warning and a call for a historically conscious, Christian-based reform of society. Comparable to Tocqueville’s and Voegelin’s analyses of modernity, Groen’s work remains strikingly relevant for its critique of secularism and its defense of Christian moral order as the foundation of true liberty and social stability.
