Abstract This article contrasts the teaching on just war as presented by the 2000 document, ‘Bases of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church’ (Moscow Patriarchate), with the insights provided by a similar social document issued in 2020 by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, ‘For the Life of the World: Towards a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church’. The article argues that whenever religion is instrumentalised to justify the political ambitions of church and secular leaders, and especially when they are used as the main driving force behind military conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, it is the prophetic role of theologians and scholars to show that religion offers resources to deconstruct the weaponisation of Christian faith for political gain.

This book is an historical study of John Calvin ’ s interpretation of the doctrine of divine providence. It explores Calvin ’ s works from 1534 to 1559 and contends that from 1534 to 1541, Calvin ’ s dominant image for providence is that of a ‘ fountain ’ , which conveys God as the source of everything. God ’ s power gives life and preserves all earthly crea-tures. Then, from Calvin ’ s Latin edition of his 1539 Institutes and its French translation (1541), Calvin is more vague – indecisive – about the definition of God ’ s special provi-dence, as he explored the relation of providence and soteriology. Calvin ’ s doctrine from 1534 onward thus ‘ displays a development rather than a fixed doctrine ’ (p. 56). The fountain image dropped out after 1552. Chan notes that ‘ Calvin gradually moves away from portraying God ’ s providence as a fountain because God ’ s providence is more than what can be illustrated by the image of a fountain … . God ’ s action is not passive as a fountain implies. In addition, God ’ s providence does not imply passivity in the role of believers ’ (p. 179). Instead, three definitions of providence emerged. Chan explains that in Calvin ’ s De aeterna Dei praedestinatione (1552), providentia Dei is: first, ‘ a general providence of the world so that everything is kept in its proper and natural state ’ ; second, there is a ‘ special government of particular parts of the world, but this care is especially for humans ’ ; third is a ‘ providentia “ praesentissima Dei ”’ , in which God protects and guides the church by his fatherly care ’ (p. 178). This clarification of the providentia Dei is what Calvin used ‘ to preach, to write commentaries and to finish his definitive edition of the Institutes ’ (p. 56).
