Excerpt from Render Therefore Unto Caesar the Things Which Are Caesar's; And Unto God the Things That Are God's: The Sermon, Preached at the Consecration of the Right Reverend Alfred Harding, D.D., Bishop of Washington
Caesar; on the other the Herodian, refusing to God the things that belonged to God. Neither would be satisfied with an answer which harmonized the duties which they had set in opposition. Their object was to have Christ fall a victim to their plot. One cared not for Caesar, while the other cared not for God. Neither did they love each other, nor have anything in common; the only thing they cared for, in their loveless coalition, was to defeat the Master. If Christ should condemn the payment of tribute to Caesar, then they could accuse Him of being a trai tor; but if, on the other hand, He sanctioned it as an obligation, they could denounce Him for treach ery to His race and to His religion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between religious faith and civic duty, using the biblical parable of rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's as a springboard for reflection. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the author delves into the challenges of balancing loyalty to one's nation with the demands of one's faith. The text examines the meaning of patriotism, the importance of respecting the law, and the role of love and service in a person's relationship with God. Through a thoughtful analysis of historical and theological perspectives, the author contends that true faith should inspire both responsible citizenship and devotion to a higher power, ultimately demonstrating that these two spheres are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary forces in a well-lived life. This insightful work offers a timeless perspective on the enduring questions of faith, duty, and the pursuit of a just and harmonious society.
