Stanley Hauerwas Interview | Abraham Kuyper, Calvinism

In this interview excerpt (taking place at Regent College), Stanley Hauerwas discusses and critiques Calvinist theologian Abraham Kuyper, suggesting a parallel between Kuyper and Constantine. The topic leads to a discussion of the cultural reception of Calvinism in America and in Holland, as well as the appropriateness of "formulas" dictating how Christianity might interact with politics.

To be fair, the very idea of sphere sovereignty is that the the whole world isn't the church, the church occupies just one sphere. Kuyper proclaimed loudly and clearly that Jesus is Lord, therefore the church doesn't need to be.

"Calvinism is that form of Christianity that came out into the world to take over the world, and, instead, took over Orange City, Iowa!" Brilliant!
