Calvinist trinitarianism and theocentric politics

A comprehensive introduction to an English-speaking audience of Arnold van Ruler's trinitarian theology and theocentric socio-political vision, "Gestaltwerdung Christi der Welt, Theologie van het Apostulat". The introductory essay by the translator locates van Ruler's thought in the context of Calvinism in general and Dutch Calvinism in particular and considers the relevance of van Ruler's theology for North American social ethics, including current discussions about the need for public theology.
