Frans Kuyper studied theology at the Remonstrant Seminarium (founded 1634) in Amsterdam.He was removed (1653) from his ministry in Vlaardingen because of his rejection of infant baptism. He then started (1663–73) a printing shop (Amsterdam, Brouwersgracht) and primarily issued Socinian works. See: NNBW, vol. 4, cols 868–9; Van Bunge, 1990b, pp. 90–8; Visser, 1995. An important participant and pamphletist in the so-called ‘Bredenburg disputes’, Kuyper actively denounced the rationalist determinism of Johannes Bredenburg.
