I& #39;ve been reflecting upon @DavenantInst& #39;s Ad Fontes theme this year—Protestant political theology—and I realized how grateful I am for the remarkable contributions by so many people on this topic. It& #39;s been hard work, but there are now easily-accessible resources on historical
Protestant political theology, and applications of those resources. These are the ones that made it online.

@WBLittlejohn kicked off our year with an investigation of the Protestant nation, balancing "Hookerian nationalism and Althusian federalism." https://davenantinstitute.org/the-freedom-of-a-christian-nation/">https://davenantinstitute.org/the-freed...
Then @jake_meador gave an excellent and cogent and *non-authoritarian* defense of the common good. I& #39;m especially grateful for his contribution because, without it, we& #39;d be left only with a certain more-heat-and-less-light-generating Atlantic essay. https://davenantinstitute.org/why-we-need-the-common-good/">https://davenantinstitute.org/why-we-ne...
Our un-themed essays have been equally compelling. Samuel Bray argued that corporate worship, and particularly liturgical worship rooted in *text*, is a key Anglican distinctive, and he clearly articulated the costs of departing from that understanding. https://davenantinstitute.org/the-shape-fallacy-the-book-of-common-prayer-as-text/">https://davenantinstitute.org/the-shape...
And @IfADoubleDecker wrote a poignant reflection on how the immortal poetry of the Protestant John Donne can accompany Protestants struggling with Protestant identity.
Thanks to you all. Of course, there is more to come. Stay tuned for our June 2020 issue! https://davenantinstitute.org/retrieving-john-donne">https://davenantinstitute.org/retrievin...
