What is at issue between us and them is the scope of the Kingship of Christ, and what the Reformers said about it. ![]() Nevertheless, we think their peculiar doctrine has unintended but ruinous consequences following from its unwitting but profound mistakes. Both we and they are doing our best to help guide Christians in the negotiation of our difficult times for increase of the Gospel and the glory of God. They make many accurate criticisms of certain demagogic program for “Christian politics” and of “transformationalism,” for which we are grateful. Though we have criticized their work for its mistakes, we have hoped in the past for some sort of fruitful conversation with representatives of the so-called R2K, since we really do share some common ground- we are all Christian and Reformed, after all- and even some similar practical intention. Anyone familiar with the American Reformed world knows that a peculiar school of political theology, associated with California’s Westminster Seminary, has recently attempted to retrieve what they consider to be the doctrine of the Reformers on the order of Christian life in the world. The investigation and application of classical evangelical political doctrine is one of our main commitments, and it is therefore important to us to ensure that Calvin is correctly read in his proper context of common Reformation principles. ![]()
