Conscience and Law (Classic Reprint): Or a Discussion of Our Comparative, Responsibility to Human and Divine Government: Or a Discussion of Our ... Human and Divine Government (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book is structured around a discussion of the relationship between divine and secular law. The author begins by drawing a clear distinction between supporting rightful secular governments, which he characterizes as a divine institution, via the payment of taxes and respect for authority, but asserts that this obedience does not extend to obeying unjust laws. The author sees this position as a rejection of unqualified obedience to human authority and a recognition of the supremacy of divine law and eternal truths such as the distinction between right and wrong. Furthermore, the author's argument is presented within the context of Christian values, drawing on scriptural examples and presenting nonviolent resistance as the proper response to unjust laws. The text argues that while violent resistance to authority may be justified in some extreme circumstances, the general rule for individuals is to endure oppression to avoid disorder.

Excerpt from Conscience and Law: Or a Discussion of Our Comparative, Responsibility to Human and Divine Government
It was the memorable answer of the Savior to the crafty interrogation of those who sought to ensnare him respecting the lawfulness of paying tribute to the Roman government, "Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's, and unto God the things that are Gods." The Pharisees and Herodians had approached him in company as he was engaged in public discourse, and proposed a question which was so framed that whether an affirmative or negative response was given, offence would be taken. There were two parties among the Jews at this time, who held opposite sentiments with reference to the propriety of paying tribute to the Roman government. The Pharisees contended that Herod, who had been set over them as king by the Roman emperor, was not a legitimate sovereign according to the Mosaic law, and that therefore his authority should not be recognized by the payment of the tax levied in the name of the Roman emperor.
