Reviews

Stevenson's book stands as a healthy corrective to Christians who think that the Reformation idea of Christian liberty was an individual matter that required no political action * Sixteenth Century Journal *

""The Calvin scholarship in this work is impressive. Stevenson draws on Calvin's sermons, tracts, letters, commentaries, and other works. He has an excellent command of recent secondary material. Moreover...Stevenson draws out both the revolutionary and conservative elements of Calvin's thought. However,...he uses Christian liberty to reconcile them, rejecting the idea that Calvin is a schizophrenic thinker emphasizing both radical change and political order. Anyone who has ever worked on Calvin will appreciate Stevenson's learning.""--Journal of Religion ""This is more than just a good study. It is wise, penetrating, and opened up for the reviewer the political aspect of Calvin's work that I have been (perhaps!) overly critical of....we learn a great deal we hadn't seen before about Calvin and human freedom, enough to cause subsequent scholars to nuance their assumptions about Calvinism and the political arena.""--IRT Bulletin
