Summary

In this book, Glenn Moots explores the political meaning of covenants past and present by focusing on the theory and application of covenantal politics from the 16th through the 18th centuries.

Moots’s work chronicles and critiques the covenant tradition while warning against both political ideology and religious enthusiasm. It provides an inclusive and objective outline of covenantal politics by considering the variations of Reformed theology and their respective consequences for political practice. This includes a careful account of how covenant theology took root on the European continent in the sixteenth century and then inspired ecclesiastical and civil politics in England, Scotland, and America. Moots goes beyond the usual categories of Calvinism or Puritanism to consider the larger movement of which both were a part. By integrating philosophy, theology, and history, Moots also invites investigation of broader political traditions such as natural law and natural right.

Politics Reformed makes a provocative contribution to understanding foundational questions in an era of rising fundamentalism and emboldened secularism, inspiring listeners to rethink the importance of religion in political theory and practice, and the role of the covenant tradition in particular.

The book is published by University of Missouri Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

"Will undoubtedly become a standard resource on the history of this topic." (Thomas Kidd, author of God of Liberty)

"A fascinating look at the infrequently studied but important legacy of reformed political theology. Highly Recommended." (Choice)

"A detailed and erudite account of how covenantal theology both shaped political order and gave an account of how human beings could best be simultaneously religious and political." (Front Porch Republic)
