"The aim of All of Life Redeemed is to make accessible information, articles and books from a Reformational perspective. Reformational philosophy maintains that the lordship of Jesus Christ extends to every area and aspect of life. No area of life is neutral, and all areas need to be redeemed. The pioneers of Reformational philosophy were Herman Dooyeweerd, D. H. Th. Vollenhoven and A. Janse. They built upon the foundations laid by Groen van Prinsterer and Abraham Kuyper."
