Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a sermon from the 19th Century, advocates for faith-based adherence to the rule of law. The author analyzes the role of individuals in a society and extracts lessons from a civil riot that took place in Cincinnati, Ohio. He argues that it is the obligation of Christians to respect the laws of the state. However, this respect is only warranted when the state is acting as God's agent and ensuring justice. His view is that government derives its authority from God and therefore citizens must obey its laws. However, when the government fails in its duty to protect citizens, the people may have a duty to act on their own behalf. The author uses this perspective to discuss the duties of both citizens and rulers, arguing that government leaders have a sacred duty to enforce laws, while citizens have a biblical obligation to uphold the law and protect the peace. Thought-provoking and challenging, this book offers a unique perspective on civic duty and the relationship between faith and the affairs of state.
