In the midst of intense religious conflict in the late sixteenth
and early seventeenth century, theological and political concepts
converged in remarkable ways. Incited by the slaughter of French
Protestants in the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, Reformed
theologians and lawyers began to marshal arguments for political
resistance. These theological arguments were grounded in uniquely
religious conceptions of the covenant, community, and popular
sovereignty. While other works of historical scholarship have
focused on the political and legal sources of this strain of early
modern resistance literature, The Immortal Commonwealth examines
the frequently overlooked theological sources of these writings. It
reveals how Reformed thinkers such as Heinrich Bullinger, John
Calvin, Theodore Beza, and Johannes Althusius used traditional
theological conceptions of covenant and community for surprisingly
radical political ends.
