Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is structured around a discussion of the relationship between divine and secular law. The author begins by drawing a clear distinction between supporting rightful secular governments, which he characterizes as a divine institution, via the payment of taxes and respect for authority, but asserts that this obedience does not extend to obeying unjust laws. The author sees this position as a rejection of unqualified obedience to human authority and a recognition of the supremacy of divine law and eternal truths such as the distinction between right and wrong. Furthermore, the author's argument is presented within the context of Christian values, drawing on scriptural examples and presenting nonviolent resistance as the proper response to unjust laws. The text argues that while violent resistance to authority may be justified in some extreme circumstances, the general rule for individuals is to endure oppression to avoid disorder.
