Political Theology -Immerses readers in the historic, political and theological underpinnings funding the neo-Calvinist engagement with democracy. The result is a volume that not only offers a lucid account of the multifaceted relationship of neo-Calvinist theology to democracy, but one that generates fresh thinking about the theological challenges democracy brings. . . . The contributions here are formidable: a testament to the acumen and promise of the next generation of Neo-Calvinist political theology.- "Political Theology" "Immerses readers in the historic, political and theological underpinnings funding the neo-Calvinist engagement with democracy.

Reseña del editor:

Abraham Kuyper (1837 - 1920) - pastor, theologian, journalist, and politician - is highly regarded as exemplifying how a Christian worldview can be confidently expressed in both theory and practice. Honoring the spirit of Kuyper's legacy, The Kuyper Center Review annually publishes substantial essays that relate the tradition of Reformed theology to issues of public life. Kuyper was a principal force, both political and intellectual, behind the democratization of politics and public life that occurred in the Netherlands at the close of the nineteenth century. This volume reflects on that legacy, not only examining its theological roots and historical context but also assessing democracy's prospects in our own day and considering the ways in which Reformed theology might provide resources for democratic criticism and renewal.
