Description: Calvinism and the Emergence of the Modern World by M. Brett Callaway, Bruce W. Gore The Western world is in a downward spiral. Symptoms include worsening economies, increasing crime, and general crumbling of societys moral and civil framework. Hope is decreasing while anxiety is increasing. Throughout the ages mankinds lot has ebbed and flowed in concert with its understanding of, and obedience to, Gods will. The ascendancy of Western civilization and our modern world coincided with the spread of Calvinism. It is the worldview from which todays material and experiential blessings were birthed and gave rise to ideas of democratic, representative government and equality of every person before God. This book, after establishing some distinguishing characteristics of Calvinism, traces its advance throughout Europe and subsequently to America through personalities and events giving rise to our modern world and all its prosperity. By doing so it provides an encouraging reminder of how God turns the fortunes of faithful men and nations for the better--even ours, even today. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography M. Brett Callaway retired as head of North America operations for a global agricultural company. He remains active in his church, politics, and writing, including the book Crossroads of the Eternal (2018). He resides with his wife of thirty-five years in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Review "This is a staggeringly essential book for the church today! It provides the historical background and theological framework for Calvinism and its impact in the development and successes of modern Europe and the founding principles of the USA. M. Brett Callaway proclaims a clarion call for contemporary American churches to return to their heritage of a true, strong, and fruitful Calvinism versus the timid, fragile, sickly Calvinism practiced today." --W. Sherrill Babb, president emeritus, Cairn University "M. Brett Callaways book is a timely call to return to the basics of the Christian faith, to an active, relevant Christianity much needed in todays society. His discussion of John Calvins influence on the early Protestant movement and the continuation of that influence during the American Revolution and the founding of the United States of America should be a reminder to Americans to heed their own heritage." --Ron Chapman, author of To the James "M. Brett Callaways publication on this period of history is a fascinating and concise read. The text cements the link between Calvinism/Protestant Reformation and the underlying religious current that led to American independence from Great Britain. No study of the American Revolution is complete without understanding the critical influence of the Calvinist theology on this era, and this book provides that insight." --Craig S. Isaacson, vice president, Mountain Region, North Carolina Society of the Sons of the American Revolution "I know well M. Brett Callaways interest in and diligent study of theological history, especially the period covered in his Calvinism and the Emergence of the Modern World. This brief work provides a clear and connected introduction to the main personalities, ideologies, and influences surrounding this critical period in world (and redemptive) history. To anyone who desires to understand more fully the immense influence of Calvin and Calvinistic thought from its early articulation to its seminal influence on the foundational worldview of early America, this book is a rich launching pad." --Craig Sheppard, adjunct professor of systematic theology and missions, New Geneva Seminary Details ISBN Author Bruce W.
