This post is part of a series walking through the second volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace
Chapters 71 and 72 of volume 2 of Common Grace explain Kuyper’s thoughts on vaccination. This is obviously a timely issue–so timely that I’ve already written and published on it. You can read what I have to say in the three links below, but if you want the Twitter version: Kuyper thinks vaccines are common grace gifts of God, and you should absolutely get vaccinated. You might even be sinning if you don’t, depending on the vaccine and the circumstance.
