I thought everyone here would find this interesting : Theory of Society Calvin put society squarely under the sovereignty of God. For Calvin, God should be the president and judge of all our elections. (17) Yet Calvin did not interpret the state as the kingdom of God, rather as an opportunity for good government and to help people. He believed the state should order all functions of life, including the church. In the government he set up in Geneva, magistrates interpreted the law. Calvin accepted Roman law in the secular arena. He encouraged these magistrates to have weekly prayer times to keep themselves humble and truthful. Calvin’s espoused a state run by lay people who upheld the teachings of the church (theocracy), not a state run by ministers (hierocracy).(18) 7. Theory of Opportunity While in Geneva, Calvin set up a government whose citizens pledged to maintain a school to which all would be obliged to send their children including the children of the poor, who would attend free of charge. It is not entirely clear whether girls were included in this pledge, though there was a school for girls in Geneva.(19) Of course, the right to schooling was only available to those who were citizens of Geneva. Calvin also heavily encouraged the building, through private donations, the building of the Geneva Academy.(20) This Academy became a leading institution of higher education in Europe, and supplied the blueprint for universities in colonial America. 8. Theory of Consensus Within Christianity, the only framework Calvin knew, he believed in consensus building. He frequently exchanged ideas with other reformers, carefully supporting his view through scripture. He negotiated and compromised. Toward the end of his life, Calvin proposed a “free and universal council to reunite all Christianity”.(21) He was even willing to have the pope preside over the council, provided he would submit to the decisions of the council.(22) However, Calvin was unable to build consensus with thinkers outside his faith.
