Church and State in Luther and Calvin: A Comparative Study

Do all kings have a divine right to rule? Should the throne (or state) control the altar of worship? In Church and State in Luther and Calvin: A Comparative Study, William Mueller approaches the primary texts of Luther and Calvin on issues of the visible and invisible church, natural law, the nature of secular authority, and religious liberty. The author treats each reformer within their own historical context and compares similarities and differences between the two within the variegated landscape of the Renaissance.
