Read an article by Sam Waldron titled How should You Feel About the Resurrection of Christ?

Description

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.
