Christian Politics - Paperback
$57.33
by Lambert Daneau (Author), Stephen Wolfe (Foreword by), Stephen Wolfe (Translator)
Christian Politics is a late-Reformation treatise by Lambert Daneau (c. 1530–c. 1595), the French jurist and Calvinist theologian who taught at Geneva, Leiden, and other Protestant centers. Trained in law at Orléans and Bourges and in theology at the Genevan Academy, Daneau wrote across ethics, natural philosophy, demonology, and political order. This English edition, translated and introduced by Stephen Wolfe, makes available his principal work on civil government.
The book sets out a distinctly Christian account of political authority, law, justice, and the common good. Drawing on Scripture, classical philosophy, Roman law, and history, Daneau treats the origin and duties of the magistrate, the limits of civil power, the relation of church and state, and the grounds of resistance to tyranny. It stands as one of the fuller Protestant treatments of political thought from the late sixteenth century and a source for the later development of the Reformed political tradition.
Sovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this newly translated primary text of Reformed political theory. Christian Politics remains essential reading for those interested in interconnectivity of religion and politics in an ethno-religious nation.
