<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Civil government is what we often call the state, which shares characteristics with other institutions. </p> <p>But unlike any other institution, the state can encourage or compel people to do certain things.</p> <p>It sometimes has the legitimate authority to deprive us of life, liberty, and property. The Bible tells us that it and our human governors are ordained by God.</p> <p>The key question this book asks is, "What has God taught us about the state?" </p> <p>The author also explores other questions, such as: </p> <p>Have we uncritically accepted ideas about civil government from our culture?</p> <p>Is our political identity adequately characterized as "conservative" or "progressive"-or should there be something more? </p> <p>What does the Old Testament teach us about civil government? </p> <p>What can we learn from Jesus's relationship with the political powers of his day?</p> <p>This book also highlights the apostles' interaction with local and Roman authorities and how the doctrinal statements of thoughtful Christians of the past should inform our views of civil government.</p> <p>Challenge political assumptions and ground your thinking in ways to honor God with the wisdom in Christians and Civil Government.</p>
