Religious believers who want to live their lives in accordance with ‘the law of God’ are often considered a threat to civilization. To many, monotheistic religion is inherently repressive and violent. The central aim of this volume is to think of both God and civilization in a more open, space-giving way. God is seen as the One who prevents man from making an absolute claim for a relative reality, including one's religion and culture. The multifaceted relations between God and civilization are explored from systematic-theological, missiological, philosophical and ethical perspectives.Studies in Reformed theology ;Volume 28.Religion and civilizationGodReligion and civilization.God.201/.7Vos Pieter1970-Zijlstra OnnoBrüning AlfonsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827360703321The law of God4087555UNINA
