North - Theoiogy Of Christian Resistance (1983)

[redgonzo]

This is Gary North's amazing book The TheoIogy of Christian Resistance (1983) which describes the modern-day conflict between Christ and Caesar or between divine and secular. Conflict between Christ and Caesar is not inevitable: in fact, Jesus specifically commanded His disciples to 'render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's' (Matt. 22:21). Conflict becomes inevitable when the secular authority (Caesar) demands for himself honors that belong only to God. In modern America, the state does not openly claim divine worship; but in effect it is seeking to make itself the center of all human loyalties, the goal of all human aspirations, the source of all human values, and the final arbiter of all human destiny. In so doing, without using the language of revelation, it is claiming to be divine. The question of resistance to a lawfully constituted authority is a very difficult one today, and it has been from the beginning. Christians from the beginning have had to answer questions like these: What constitutes a lawfully constituted authority? Must we obey every command of "Caesar"? Is a victorious invading army to be obeyed? What constitutes unlawful infringement of preaching? Find out how the historic conflict is being carried into the present world and how to deal with it. 390 pages. A must read for everyone.
