Acton Institute on Johannes Althusius

Here is something interesting on Johannes Althusius, the Calvinist political theorist who is sometimes seen either as a precursor to Abraham Kuyper or as a forerunner of John Locke. Given that the website carrying this piece belongs to the Acton Institute, and given that its orientation is liberal, it is not surprising that they would tend to see him as a proto-liberal rather than as a pre-Kuyperian.
