In Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the
Church, Matthew J. Tuininga explores a little appreciated dimension
of John Calvin's political thought, his two kingdoms theology, as a
model for constructive Christian participation in liberal society.
Widely misunderstood as a proto-political culture warrior, due in
part to his often misinterpreted role in controversies over
predestination and the heretic Servetus, Calvin articulated a
thoughtful approach to public life rooted in his understanding of
the gospel and its teaching concerning the kingdom of God. He
staked his ministry in Geneva on his commitment to keeping the
church distinct from the state, abandoning simplistic approaches
that placed one above the other, while rejecting the temptations of
sectarianism or separatism. This revealing analysis of Calvin's
vision offers timely guidance for Christians seeking a mode of
faithful, respectful public engagement in democratic, pluralistic
communities today.
