Stephen C. Perks is the Director of the Kuyper Foundation. He was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1956 and now lives near Taunton, Somerset, England.
He is the Editor of Christianity & Society, the Foundation’s journal, and has contributed articles on a variety of topics to journals in Britain, Europe and the USA. He has lectured on a variety of issues, including theology and Christian world-view, economics, politics, education, legal history and music, at conferences in Britain, Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Africa and has been regularly invited to contribute to local radio programmes dealing with various contemporary ethical issues.
His ministry has a particular focus on promoting the Christian world-view, on applying the Christian faith to the social and political issues that face Church and society in the contemporary world, and in challenging the intellectual, political and cultural idols that dominate so much of modern life in the West.
