American, European, political, and theological histories intersect
in this important new exploration of the founding of the United
States. The Covenant Connection examines the way in which the
Protestant Reformation and federal covenant theology, which lay at
the foundation of Reformed Protestantism in its Calvinist version,
played a major role in shaping the political life and ideas of the
colonies of British North America and ultimately the new United
States of America. Contributors to the volume look at the most
critical facets of this connection over nearly three centuries,
from the beginning of the Reformation in sixteenth-century Zurich
to the declaration of American independence and the writing of the
U.S. Constitution. Individual chapters show how federal theology
led to a revival of Biblical republicanism in Reformation Europe;
how it was applied and modified in countries such as Switzerland,
the Netherlands, Scotland, and England; and how it was carried
across the Atlantic by the early settlers of North Americamost
particularly the Puritans but also other groups such as the Dutch
and the Scottishto form the matrix for American constitutionalism,
democratic republicanism, and federalism. As a collection, The
Covenant Connection provides an irrefutable analysis of the
profound biblical and Reformation influences on the founding of
America.
