This comprehensive collection offers a concise introduction to the
institutional framework of the Holy See, conceptualizing papal
agency and positions from a range of international theory
perspectives. The authors - international scholars from political
science, history, and religious studies - explore multiple fields
of papal and Vatican influence, ranging from spy networks and
inter-religious dialogue to social doctrine and religious freedom.
This book demonstrates that, contrary to secularization theory, the
papacy is not in decline in world politics. Since World War II, the
Holy See has played a steadily increasing role in international
relations. Globalization supports the role of the Catholic Church
as a transnational actor not only in the advanced industrial
societies of the West but also increasingly across the Global
South. In this volume, the authors document the legacies of John
Paul II and Benedict XVI as well as the current pontificate of Pope
Francis from a range of contemporary perspectives. This book
comprises research articles and commentary essays on the papacy in
world politics originally published in The Review of Faith &
International Affairs.

Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch Neo-Calvinist theologian, pastor, and
politician, was well-known for having declared that there is "not a
square inch" of human existence over which Jesus Christ is not its
sovereign Lord. This principle is perhaps best reflected in
Kuyper's writings on Calvinism originally delivered as the Stone
Lectures in 1898 at Princeton Theological Seminary. These lectures
reflecting on the role of the Christian faith in a variety of
social spheres-including religion, politics, science, and art-have
become a touchstone for contemporary Reformed theology. How might
the lectures continue to inform the church's calling in a secular
age? In this volume, Jessica Joustra and Robert Joustra bring
together theologians, historians, scientists, and others to revisit
Kuyper's original lectures and to critically consider both his
ongoing importance and his complex legacy for today.
