The name Althusius comes from a Calvinist political thinker who was born in Germany in 1557. He was instrumental in formulating Calvinist political thought, in particular, sphere sovereignty. This is the idea that each branch (sphere) of human life–family, church, and government–is independent of the others and has its own jurisdiction. The church should not control the state; the state should not control the church, etc. He also advanced the view, as did Calvin, that when a ruler goes against the law of his country or the law of God, all his commands are void.
Above all, I encourage you to spread knowledge with those around you.
And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the , that in all things He may have the preeminence.
(Collossians 1:18, NKJV,)
