Groen van Prinsterer's (1801-1876) political theory is both Augustinian and simple. The forsaking of the supremacy of God's transcendent moral order in favor of the supremacy of mankind leads-not to freedom-but to arbitrary authority and tyranny. True and reliable knowledge begins with knowledge received from God; without this, man becomes lost in all spheres of knowledge. This includes political knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the rest of Europe, the Netherlands was abandoning the supremacy of God's transcendent moral order in politics. This same secular political theory wreaks havoc in politics today. As a devout Christian statesman, Groen opposed this anti-Christian liberalism with a theory grounded upon God's Word and God's providence in history, a faithful political theory still true today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents of neo-Calvinism, Reformed Conservatism, or Christian political philosophy will all alike enjoy the easy prose, rhetorical elegance, and fiery punch delivered by one of Holland's greatest parliamentarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Refcon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954504042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Guillaume Groen Van Prinsterer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45419035459765,"sku":"9781954504042","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8e5d6c2a-3b93-4083-a70b-f7c86272c1f9.jpg?v=1748390688","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-christian-theory-of-political-truth-9781954504042","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
