  • Liturgy in the Reformed Tradition
    Oepke Noordmans / Ruben Alvarado
    There are many forms of liturgy in the contemporary church, but they are not always critically assessed. Liturgy can be viewed as a sealed encounter in which behind closed doors heaven and earth meet and participate in each other. But it can also be viewed as an exercise in acceptance of the world outside, where critical assessment is neglected in favor of socio-political engag...

  • Bekommert God Zich om Ossen?
    Ruben Alvarado / Benjamin Lensink
    De leer van het rentmeesterschap is een van de meest wijdverspreide doctrines in de kerk van vandaag. Op basis daarvan begrijpen we dat het onze christelijke plicht is om rentmeesterschap uit te oefenen over de planeet, Gods schepping. Toch behoort deze doctrine ook tot de minst onderzochte. Er worden belangrijke aannames gedaan zonder dat er een serieuze poging wordt ondernome...

  • The Gospel in the Old Covenant
    P. J. Hoedemaker / Ruben Alvarado
    'Then Jesus said to them, ’O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?’ And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself' (Luke 24: 25-27). So spoke Jesus to the travellers to E...

  • Does God Care for Oxen?
    Ruben Alvarado
    The doctrine of stewardship is one of the most oft-proclaimed in the church today. On its basis we understand it to be our Christian duty that we exercise stewardship over the planet, God’s creation. Yet this doctrine is also among the least-examined. Critically important assumptions are made without any serious attempt to discover whether they are supported by Scripture, and w...

  • Trojan Horse
    Ruben Alvarado
    The idea of Christian America is a disputed one. Those who affirm it marshal a vast body of evidence in support, while those who dispute it have at their command an equally formidable arsenal of facts and documentation. How is the truth of the matter to be settled?Indubitably, the United States was founded in continuity with the Christian, common-law heritage from the mother co...

  • The Bible, Theology, and the Sciences
    Philippus Jacobus Hoedemaker / Ruben Alvarado
    Philippus Hoedemaker and Abraham Kuyper shared a dream: to establish a university on the foundation of the Reformed faith. They were among the three or four men in the entire nation who, by Philippus van Ronkel’s count, could pull off such a thing. Hoedemaker was not deterred by the smallness of the beginnings, for God could accomplish great things through such a Gideon’s band....

  • In Memory of Stahl
    Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer / Ruben Alvarado
    Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer'Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer. I heard that you don’t know who Stahl is. And I could not help wondering - please pardon my incivility, but ... what rock have you been hiding under? Never heard of Stahl? Why, he is simply one of the greatest statesmen and legal scholars that Germany ever produced.'Ev...

  • Philosophical Foundations
    Friedrich Julius Stahl / Ruben Alvarado
    Philosophical Foundations is an introduction to the philosophy of law, but it also furnishes the foundations for a Christian philosophy. In this ethically discombobulated time, it provides us with the metaphysical and ethical tools to slash our way through the wilderness of ideologies and power-craving opinions which threaten to overwhelm civilization. Indeed, a solid metaphysi...

  • The Politics of Antithesis
    P. J. Hoedemaker / PJHoedemaker / Ruben Alvarado
    On August 1st, 1901, a new government was installed in the Netherlands, formed by Antirevolutionary Party (ARP) leader Abraham Kuyper. The culmination of decades of relentless effort, it represented a new departure in Dutch politics: a government explicitly invoking the Christian revelation as the basis for its policy. 'Revelation over Reason!' had been the battle cry of the ca...

  • The Recovery of Historical Law
    Friedrich Julius Stahl / Ruben Alvarado
    As the world reels from crisis to crisis, the most serious one seems to draw the least attention. And that is the crisis of the Western mind. The seeds of radical subjectivism sown at the time of a previous such crisis, chronicled in Paul Hazard’s Crisis of the European Mind, have now borne fruit, fruit of such stupendous magnitude that they threaten to drag us down into the de...

  • A Theology of Nature
    Ruben Alvarado
    Nowadays we in the church hear much of the task given to us to be good stewards over God’s creation. We are to treat the creation as a fragile, vulnerable artifact given us by God, to be cherished and taken special care of. The animal and plant kingdoms are precious treasures to be maintained in unspoiled beauty, preserved from the corrupting hand of civilization.But how much o...

  • The Rise and Fall of Natural Law
    Friedrich Julius Stahl / Ruben Alvarado
    Our age is characterized by radical subjectivism. Which is to say: There is no agreement on any absolute standard of value. Indeed, there is no agreement even on truth itself. And as a matter of fact, the very concept of objective, absolute truth has been cast aside in favor of “truths” – your truth, my truth, whoever's truth. The result is the abandonment of the pursuit of...

  • Reformed Ecclesiology in an Age of Denominationalism
    Philippus Jacobus Hoedemaker / Ruben Alvarado
    Once upon a time, the state shared the public square with the church. The central location of the church building in every European town is mute testimony to this state of affairs. But those days are long gone. Nowadays there is an implicit or explicit consensus regarding the proper place of the church: out of sight and out of mind.How has this sea change come about?

  • Calvin and the Whigs
    Ruben Alvarado
    The relationship between Calvinist political theory and John Locke’s Two Treatises on Civil Government has been debated for some time, and the consensus is that Locke’s theory constitutes the fur­ther development of Calvinist theory. But upon closer analysis, that conclusion proves entirely flawed. Calvinism proves to be worlds apart from the political phi­lo­­sophy of John Loc...

  • Treatise on Money
    Joseph Alois Schumpeter / Ruben Alvarado
    Together with John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman, Joseph Schumpeter is regarded as one of the three greatest economists of the 20th century. And yet, his actual economic writing has remained something of an enigma. Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, his best-known work, was also an unscientific throw-off in his view. His major economic works - The Theory of Economic Dev...

  • Follow the Money
    Ruben Alvarado
    Follow the Money is based on a startling insight: there are three different forms of money, not just one; and the form of money a society implements determines the kind of society it will be, and what’s more, how it will think. For money is not neutral. It is a product of human artifice, the particular expression of a particular society, that at the same time determines the fur...

    It is easy to be a liberal or a conservative. One’s daily life does not change much one way or the other. In modern democracies, political philosophy often seems to be more of a fashion item than a practical matter. How much do one’s views affect one’s routine? But when it comes to investing, world-view suddenly becomes crucial. How one appraises capitalism, socialism, and demo...
