Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition (Samuel Waldron)

Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition

A Historical and Biblical Critique

Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition brings crucial perspective to guide the church and the Christian through perplexing ethical and societal questions that have emerged in the present day. Does the Bible support or prohibit political revolution? What did John Calvin, the founder of the Reformed tradition, believe on the topic of political insurrection, and did his thoughts line up with the Word of God?

It is widely thought among Christians that Romans 13 requires us to obey the government absolutely, even blindly, in all situations.  This is explored and questioned by Dr. Waldron, as he explains the difference in subordination to civil magistrates and obedience to the same.  Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition is a scholarly examination of the tension between living in the kingdom of God and, simultaneously, in the kingdom of man.
