The Christian Idea of the State

 

On 3 October 1936 Dooyeweerd delivered a lecture on 'The Christian idea of the State'. This was subsequenty translated by John Kraay and published by the Craig Press in 1968. I have recently obtained a copy of this book and have started a blog/study guide on it here.

In Essays in Legal, Social, and Political Philosophy. Ed. by Alan M. Cameron et al. The Collected Works of Herman Dooyeweerd, Series B, Volume 2 (1997), pp. 121–55.

In Political Philosophy. Ed. by Daniël Strauss. The Collected Works of Herman Dooyeweerd, Series D, Volume 1 (2004), pp. 17–47.
