| Summary |
"Reformational philosophy has roots in the Reformed tradition of Christianity. "Reformed," in this sense, refers to a worldwide movement that stems from the Calvinist Reformation in sixteenth-century Europe. Ecclesiastically it includes Presbyterians of various persuasions, the various Reformed churches in or from continental Europe, and twentieth-century ecumenical formations such as the United Church of Canada and what used to be called the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. The term "reformational" indicates an intellectual and social current from within Reformed Christianity whose main impetus comes from the nineteenth-century Dutch educator, church leader, and politician Abraham Kuyper. It holds that members of religious communities and their organizations are called to be agents of renewal in culture and society, and that such renewal is not just personal but involves criticizing and changing cultural practices, social institutions, and the very structure of society where these impede the interconnected flourishing of all Earth's inhabitants. So reformational scholarship tends toward a comprehensiveness of social vision and a depth of cultural engagement that do not harmonize easily with either political liberalism or spiritual individualism. The preferred discipline for reformational scholars has tended to be philosophy, not theology."-- Provided by publisher |
