Judd Birdsall responds to Walter Russell Mead's Sept./Oct. 2006 Foreign Affairs article, “God's Country?” and critiques Mead's comparison of Calvinism to separationist fundamentalism. So-called “neo-Calvinists” are found across the Protestant spectrum and offer a much more nuanced and balanced approach to foreign policy than is sometimes portrayed. Calvinists share some commitments with evangelicals, including the authority of the Bible and the importance of conversion, but do not agree with “Christian America” mythology or an eschatological view of Israel and the fate of the Jewish state.
