Though written thirty-five years ago as Sam Waldron’s ThM thesis, Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition brings crucial perspective to guide the church and the Christian through perplexing ethical and societal questions that have emerged in the present day. Does the Bible support or prohibit political revolution? What did John Calvin, the founder of the Reformed tradition, believe on the topic of political insurrection, and did his thoughts line up with the Word of God? Does Romans 13 call us to obey the government blindly in all situations? What is the relationship between subordination to civil magistrates and obedience to the same authorities? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this scholarly examination of the tension between living in the kingdom of God and, simultaneously, in the kingdom of man.

A few years ago we interviewed Dr. Craig Carter and Dr. Chris Bolt on the Covenant Podcast. The topic of our conversation was “Christian Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Apologetics.” Since that time, discussions on Aquinas, Van Til, classic theism, and classical apologetics have been continual and sometimes people have talked past one another. We could think of no better way to try to resolve this issue than by having Dr. Carter and Dr. Bolt talk about the following topic: Van Til, Aquinas, and Biblicism

In this discussion, we discuss: “The Thought of Cornelius Van Til.” Some of the topics discussed (amongst others): Gordon Clark Karl Barth Reformed Thomism The Great Tradition Stay tuned for this episode!
