An alternative, uniquely Christian response to the growing global challenges of deep religious difference In the last fifty years, millions of Muslims have migrated to Europe and North America. Their arrival has ignited a series of fierce public debates on both sides of the Atlantic about religious freedom and tolerance, terrorism and security, gender and race, and much more. How can Christians best respond to this situation? In this book theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk offers a thought-provoking Christian perspective on the growing debates over Muslim presence in the West. Rejecting both fearful nationalism and romantic multiculturalism, Kaemingk makes the case for a third way—a Christian pluralism that is committed to both the historic Christian faith and the public rights, dignity, and freedom of Islam.

The French Revolution was the scene of much intellectual and social upheaval. Its impact touched a wide range of subjects: the relationship of the church to the state, social relationships, science, literature, fashion, philosophy and theology. Although the French Revolution's momentum was felt across Europe and North America, it met a particularly interesting response in the Netherlands, at that time the scene of a burgeoning neo-Calvinist movement. In that context, the likes of Groen van Prinsterer, Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck responded to the French Revolution's ideals and influence in a variety of intellectual and practical ways.This book approaches that Dutch response from a range...

Ce quatrième tome de l'Histoire alliancielle de l'Église dans le monde est intitulé L'Âge Moderne. De la Révolution scientifique aux Révolutions politiques et culturelles. Le réveil, la réponse divine à un monde sans Dieu, conduit le lecteur de l'aube des Lumières au début du XXe siècle. Nous y voyons le fruit de la Révolution scientifique et culturelle du XVIIe siècle - révolte contre Dieu et sa Parole - aboutir à la Révolution française, où l'Homme se prend pour Dieu, puis à la destruction de l'ordre créationnel et la perversion rationaliste de la foi chrétienne. On y voit la réponse du Créateur et Roi des nations, Jésus-Christ, Chef de son Église qui la réveilla des ténèbres d'une modernité sans Dieu, suscitant pour cela ces héros de la foi, C. Malan, J. Cellérier, L. Gaussen, J.-H. Merle d'Aubigné et A. Lecerf. Ils menèrent un combat victorieux contre une pensée sans Loi, celle d'une civilisation dont l'impiété rejette Jésus-Christ, comme Souverain de toutes les nations du monde.
