Abstract
It is our firm conviction that the Savior, if he were still on earth, would again align himself with the oppressed and against the powerful of our age. Abraham Kuyper made this bold claim in his newspaper on the eve of the general elections of 1894. What was the issue that made him write this? Why did his fellow churchman and political ally of many years, Alexander de Savornin Lohman, feel compelled to write him that this statement had hurt him deeply?
