God's Glory Alone: What the Reformers Taught ... and Why It Still Matters is part of the Five Solas Series, offering readers a look back to the five rallying cries of the Reformation---the five solas---while seeking to apply them in a fresh way to the contemporary church.

The book explores the relationship between Reformed theology, social ethics, and the concepts of natural law and the two kingdoms, arguing against the notion that they are inherently opposed. By examining Reformed social thought from the Reformation to contemporary times, it reveals a more nuanced understanding of how these ideas interact and influence each other within the tradition. This study aims to reshape the perception of Reformed thought in relation to social ethics and natural law.

VanDrunen uses the two-kingdoms theory to demonstrate how God's response to the civil and spiritual kingdoms inform an active yet critical Christian engagement with culture.

Exploring the concept of natural law, the author integrates insights from Reformed theology and the wider Christian tradition. Through a detailed examination of Scripture, he aims to construct a contemporary theology of natural law, addressing its relevance and implications in today's context. This work offers a nuanced perspective that bridges historical thought with modern interpretations, providing a rich theological framework for understanding natural law.

Politics After Christendom reflects on the status and responsibilities of Christians in their contemporary pluralistic political communities, presenting a biblical-theological model of political engagement and exploring themes such as race, religious liberty, justice, authority, and civil resistance.
