John Calvin - Doug Phillips Guest Editorial in the Washington Post

In this editorial, Doug provides a summary statement on Calvin's impact on American politics. Doug reminds us, "As we celebrate Independence Day, let us remember the 500-year legacy of liberty bequeathed to us by John Calvin, even as we stand with Harvard historian George Bancroft who wisely stated: "He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty."

As we celebrate the liberties we now possess, we can remember that it is a historical fact that, "It was Founding Father and the second President of the United States, John Adams, who described Calvin as "a vast genius," a man of "singular eloquence, vast erudition, and polished taste, [who] embraced the cause of Reformation," adding: "Let not Geneva be forgotten or despised. Religious liberty owes it much respect."
