One of the progenitors of the neo-Calvinist movement was Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer (1801-1876), archivist to the royal house of Orange and incisive critic of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the ideologies it spawned. He was Abraham Kuyper's predecessor in the anti-revolutionary movement that would eventually produce the Free University of Amsterdam, the Anti-Revolutionary Party and a host of other organizations in the Netherlands and abroad.
Groen's most famous work, Unbelief and Revolution, is posted on the website of the Centre for the Advancement of Paleo-Orthodoxy in the version abridged by my colleague Harry Van Dyke.
