The Faculty of Theology’s Church History Research Institute of Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary cordially invites you to Simon Kennedy’s Reformed Protestant Politics: Past and Present discourse. The presentation will be held in English with Hungarian interpretation on 26 April at 10 am. The venue of the event: KRE HTK 1092 Bp., Ráday utca 28., room C105 (entrance from Markusovszky tér).
This lecture will explore the key ideas of Reformed Protestant political thought, including two kingdoms theology, sphere sovereignty, and Reformed realism. We will also examine how distinctively Reformed political thinking can help us meet new challenges for public and political theology today.
