  • 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...

  • 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....

  • 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? Through a...

  • The Doctrine of State and the Principles of State Law
    Friedrich Julius Stahl / Ruben Alvarado
    Suppose that Wilhelm I had never become King of Prussia, and instead his brother, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who was only 1½ years his senior and had reigned since 1840, had been given the same number of years to live as he had. For Wilhelm died in 1888. In that case, the kind of kingship which is outlined in this book would, in general if not in every detail, continue to have been ...

  • The Gospel in the Age of the Judges
    Philippus Jacobus Hoedemaker / Ruben C Alvarado
    Deborah, 'a mother in Israel,' sang the praises of Jael for killing Sisera. We might think this a most unmotherly notion. Does it not contradict the purpose of the Gospel? By no means. As P. J. Hoedemaker makes clear, while God is merciful He is also just, and during the Age of the Judges called upon His people to execute that judgment. Just as He will call His people to execut...

  • Principles of Law
    Friedrich Julius Stahl / Ruben Alvarado
    The Christian difference to the legal order is not to be found in any religious test or requirement of conformity, but in the Christian character of legal institutions. Stahl accomplishes this by making institutions rather than actions the cornerstone of law. Law is a general rule, not a specific command; and institutions, not persons, are its primary object. Persons operate wi...

  • 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...

  • 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 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...

We are to treat the creation as a fragile, vulnerable artifact given us by God, to be cherished and taken special care of.

  • 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...
