"This remarkable overview of history and opinion regarding the political theory of the covenant will undoubtedly become a standard resource on the history of this topic."—Thomas Kidd, author of God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution
"Politics Reformed provides a clear and readable study of the idea of covenant in the Anglo-American setting. A particular contribution is its analysis of the place of the natural law tradition in Reformed political theology a tradition missed by many even within Reformed circles."—Jeffry H. Morrison, author of John Witherspoon and the Founding of the American Republic
"If you are engaged in America's current culture wars and you want to understand more of what is going on around you than you usually do, this book is the butterfly's boots."—Douglas Wilson, Blog & Mablog
"Moots’s relatively brief work is a complex but rewarding account. It draws important connections between the theological framework of early modern Reformed thought and political theory and practice.”—David A. Weir, Church History
"Moots expertly demonstrates how much the founding era's commitment to the social contract ideal owed to the Hebraic and Reformed Protestant commitment to the covenant. Most impressive, however, is the way he dissects the soteriological concerns that underlay the covenant ideal and connects them to the moderate church-state separation that is sanctioned."—Chris Beneke, American Historical Review
"Moots resurrects the existential God and God’s covenant theology from their death at the hands of naturalistic theology. Moots’s analysis of covenants yields a fascinating look at the infrequently studied but important legacy of reformed political theology. Highly Recommended."–Choice
"Moots gives a detailed and erudite account of how covenantal theology both shaped political order and gave an account of how human beings could best be simultaneously religious and political."—Jeffrey Polet, Front Porch Republic
"The mystery is not who killed God, or even who killed “covenant” as a political symbol and device. The truth emerges that they are not entirely dead. The mystery is, rather, whether God and covenant can be saved in the public realm and, if so, how and by whom?"–William French, Voegelin View
