The author demonstrates that an ethics of individual conscience and virtue is incommensurate with Calvin's doctrine and shows that for Calvin, Christians are bound in conscience to obey secular government. He further argues that a shared understanding of Calvin and a broader ecumenism could be a path out of culture war. 410 0$aGraven images (Lanham, Md.) 606 $aFaith 606 $aFaith$xReligious aspects 615 0$aFaith. 615 0$aFaith$xReligious aspects. 676 $a234.23 700 $aRasmussen$b Carl J.$0155620 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814303603321 996 $aMonstrous fictions$94059483 997 $aUNINA
