I'm especially curious about the "Reformed Christianity is a theology of resistance" idea. Maybe in comparison to Luther, but I'm not sure how any monergystic theology (Calvin or Muhammad or Pantheism) could be considered resistance. If the point of the theology is to submit to God for His eternal glory, and everything that happens is sovereignly controlled by God... um, no room for resitance. Calvinism is a theology for the wealthy and the educated. The contrast between Calvinism in S. Korea and China to African pentecostalism at the beginning of this article is very insightful. Calvinism is not a theology of the weak and oppressed. An insight driven home to me when I watched Gangs of New York (the end of the movie), and more recently, through the insightful facebook notes of my friend: T.C. Moore. See the Calvinism and Holy Hip Hop notes from March. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=795010076&v=app_2347471856&viewas=2809800 Interesting stuff.
