This is the first modern intellectual biography of the Scottish
Covenanters' great theorist Samuel Rutherford (c. 1600-61). The
central focus is on Rutherford's political thought and his major
treatise, Lex, Rex, written in 1644 as a justification of the
Covenanters' resistance to King Charles I. The book demonstrates
that while Lex, Rex provided a careful synthesis of natural-law
theory and biblical politics, Rutherford's Old Testament vision of
a purged and covenanted nation ultimately subverted his commitment
to the politics of natural reason. The book also discusses a wide
range of other topics, including scholasticism and humanism,
Calvinist theology, Presbyterian ecclesiology, Rutherford's close
relationships with women and his fervent spirituality. It will
therefore be of considerable interest to a range of scholars and
students working on Scottish and English history, Calvinism and
Puritanism, and early modern political thought.
