What follows are the very words of Abraham Kuyper:
“The life of particular grace does not stand by itself, but has been placed by God amid the life of common grace. Since Holy Scripture is definitely not limited to opening up for us the way of salvation, but has been given also to enrich common grace with new light, for those who confess that Word not to make this higher light to shine upon the arena of science, which belongs to the field of common grace, constitutes deficient devotion to duty.”
(De Gemeene Gratie, volume 3, “Common Grace in Science and Art,” p. 37.)
