Reforming Always and Everywhere : Neo-Calvinism and the Reformed Tradition in Historical and Global Perspective
Outline : What does it mean to be \\\\\\\"Reformed\\\\\\\" in an ever-changing world? Reforming Always and Everywhere: Neo-Calvinism and the Reformed Tradition in Historical and Global Perspective brings together fifteen studies that trace the roots, development, and continuing relevance of the Reformed tradition and Neo-Calvinism across a wide range of historical, theological, philosophical, ecclesial, and social contexts. Drawing in historical, philosophical, hermeneutical, and ethical approaches, the writers explore such themes as providence, affective piety, authentic selfhood, beauty, common grace, the pluriformity of the church, and the relationship between church and state. This book also demonstrates how Kuyperian thought can inform frameworks for research, education, ecclesial life, and sociopolitical engagement that remain faithful to the Christian faith while responding thoughtfully to the complexities of the world. This book brings the Neo-Calvinist tradition into the Indonesian context, marked by religious, cultural, and political diversity. Through discussions of the politics of hospitality, free schools, radical discipleship, evangelism, and the doctrine of justification, it shows that the commitment to continual reformation is a call to embody the Reformed faith critically, creatively, and relevantly - always and everywhere.
