Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the biblical prohibition against civil resistance to unjust authority. It engages with a variety of scriptural passages, particularly in Romans 13, to demonstrate the gravity with which the author believes civil resistance to be sinful. The author presents a thoroughly biblical case against the Puritan view that such resistance was justified in extreme cases of tyrannical rule. The author also tackles arguments from history and philosophy, ultimately arguing that the long-term effects of civil resistance are far more dangerous than the evils they seek to remedy. The author concludes that the only way to ensure lasting peace and justice is to establish a government based on the rule of law and the principles of Christianity.
