Reviews

This provocative, engaging, and insightful book offers both a sensitive, well-informed reading of Calvin and a shrewd account of contemporary religion and politics. -- Bruce Gordon, Yale University H. L. Mencken may have filed Calvinism next to cannibalism in his cabinet of horrors, but if he had read Carl Rasmussen Mencken might have reconsidered. John Calvin emerges, on Rasmussen's subtle and thoughtful reading, tonic for anyone tired of the cliches that dominate Christian reflection on U.S. politics. Even better, his book may help Christians remember their identity not as political partisans but pilgrims who seek a better country. -- Darryl Hart, Hillsdale College
