It seems there is a disconnect of historical knowledge between what Carl Trueman says about the Netherlands (Abrham Kuyper’s influence) and what George Grant gives as a reason for the supposed failure of Kuyper.
“And Kuyper failed to effect any lasting transformation of society. Just visit Amsterdam today, if you can bear the pornographic filth even in those areas where the lights are not all red.” Carl Trueman
Did Kuyper truly fail Dr. Trueman or was there some force of evil that put the work down as persecution to Christians has done before in Persia, North Africa, and China?

George Grant gives a good synopsis on how Hitler went out to destroy a dead mans (Abraham Kuyper) influence and work.

I was glad to gain the knowledge George Grant provided because it explains a lot of why things went downhill for the Netherlands when they had such a fertil soil to work and thrive in.

Things aren't always as they appear Dr. Trueman. I would call it a result of persecution during WWII instead of failure.

Hear Dr. George Grant as he orates on the significance of the Kuyperian Worldview.Hitler was obsessed with Kuyper, a man who had been dead for twenty years when Hitler launched his attack on the Netherlands. What high praise for this man whose chief desire was to bring true praise and honor to the Lord Jesus.
Why did Hitler fear a man that had been dead for twenty years? Hitler feared Kuyper’s view on the role of God in everyday life. For Kuyper believed that God continually influenced the life of believers, and daily events could show his workings. As Kuyper famously said, “Oh, no single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’”
Kuyper lived out this notion and helped create a culture completely juxtaposed to the world order that Hitler had hoped to impose.
