"I’m currently collaborating with a publisher in South Africa to produce the first-ever translation of Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos (1579) from the original Latin into the Afrikaans language. In working on the translation of the third question treated in this work, I discovered a fascinating claim made by the author in defence of the idea that even the authority of a hereditary monarch is a manifestation of the self-rule of a specific nation."

"[T]he Pactum Institute can only hope that this judgment effectuates covenantal repentance followed by faithful obedience to the precepts of God’s Law as revealed in Scripture—a Law which the Second Helvetic Confession (1566) describes as containing 'the whole will of God and all necessary precepts for every sphere of life'."

"Liberalism, by challenging the Westminster Confession’s teachings with regard to the consequences of sin, seeks to undermine the faith's core tenets. Some deny the reality of hell altogether, but a far more common heresy is the denial of God's omnipotent freedom to punish sin on earth prior Christ's final judgment (or Parousia)."

"The best chance for an actual right-wing government would be a coalition led by the anti-immigration Party for Freedom (37) along with one of the centrist parties ... Of the at least 17 seats it would then still require, 14 could be made up by the agrarians, theonomists, and nationalists."
