In the 1950s and 1960s, mainly through the influence of Vollenhoven ’ s American student H. Evan Runner, many North Americans with Dutch roots came to study under these Calvinistic philosophers increasing the influence of this new philosophy.

Klapwijk drew attention to Vollenhoven's blind spots on these important issues, making the larger burden of Vollenhoven more accessible.

These Nobel prize winners, but also the physicists Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi and Paul Ehrenfest, the Arabist and Islam expert Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, the law expert Cornelis van Vollenhoven and historian Johan Huizinga, were among those who pushed the university into a place of international prominence during the 1920s and 1930s.

They were Fred Griffiths ( Wigan ), Tom van Vollenhoven ( St Helens ), Wilf Rosenberg ( Hull ) and Edward " Ted " Brophy ( Leigh ).

The first generation were Vollenhoven and Dooyeweerd ; the second generation: Hendrik Van Riessen, K. J. Popma, S. U. Zuidema and J. P. A. Mekkes ; the third generation: Egbert Schuurman, Henk Geertsema and Sander Griffioen ; the fourth generation: Jan Hoogland.

To prepare for it, Vollenhoven — whose undergraduate and Master's level studies were pursued at the VU University — turned to VU's larger rival, the University of Amsterdam ( UA ) in order to study under its Professor of Mathematics, Dr Lutgen Brouwer, an Intuitionist in mathematics and a Marxist in other respects.

Vollenhoven was one of the leading intellectuals at the Free University and in the broader Reformed community of his country, who were dedicated to work formatively at the task of founding a distinctively Christian Philosophy.

The main influences on Vollenhoven's thought were the VU's founder Abraham Kuyper and leading theologian Herman Bavinck who both taught a theistic realism, along with a number of other VU professors and outside sources — Anema taught a transcendental realism, Wilhelm Geesink introduced Vollenhoven to the critical philosophy of Kant, Jan Woltjer taught him Classical languages and the literature and philosophy those languages carried, Woltjer also brought Vollenhoven into awareness of the modern natural-scientific theories of Lorentz, van der Waals, and Einstein.

There were also the better parts of two further volumes extant and a pile of notes for the later volumes, but at this point, Vollenhoven changed direction.

Among key works were The Person of Christ, The Work of Christ, two volumes on Sin, a volume on The Providence of God ( which refers to Herman Dooyeweerd's philosophy ), General Revelation ( again refers to Dooyeweerd ), and The Image of God ( which especially made the growing movement of philosophers, scientists, and theologians whose thinking was akin to the ideas of Vollenhoven and Dooyeweerd much more comfortable than they had been under Hepp ).

Vollenhoven that seeks to develop philosophical thought in a radically Protestant Christian direction.

To some extent, Woltjer's student Vollenhoven seems to have resisted this latter conception, as V came to view the major problem of developing a Christian philosophy to be the heavy tendency of all subsequent Christian thought in Western culture to fall back on a synthesis with Greek-originated presuppositions.

Tony Tol became an active proponent of a method for study of the history of Western philosophy and its systematics, the method which Vollenhoven had empirically built-up by studying 16, 000 individual philosophers over the course of theoretical thought in the West.

The movement gave rise to the school of thought known as Reformational philosophy, founded by Vollenhoven and his colleague at VU University, professor of law Herman Dooyeweerd.

In the field of systematic philosophy a key task that Klapwijk took upon himself was that of analyzing and criticizing most cautiously Vollenhoven's early idea of the possibility of an integral Christian philosophy unaccommodated to the ideas of Greek paganism or modern secular humanism undiluted by what Vollenhoven had called " synthesis philosophy ", i. e. a mix of Gospel motifs with sophisticated conceptions of a non-Christian origin.

For Vollenhoven, this synthesis quality compromises the entirety of the Patristic philosophical theology, contrary to Alfred North Whitehead's appraisal of the same era.

Vollenhoven was well equipped by his classical studies for this pursuit of an adequate historiographical backup for a systematic philosophy that sought to be meaningfully and distinctively Christian.

Several South Africans who studied under Vollenhoven include D. F. M. Strauss whose expertise is on Reformational philosophy's modal-scale theory ; Elaine Botha, known for her philosophy of metaphor ; Bennie van der Walt, an activist-scholar who headed the Centre for Reformational Studies at the University of Potchestroom ( now North-West University ), and furthered that university's adaptation to the post-apartheid opportunities for Christian higher education in Africa.
