What is the relationship between the Christian and the government? In this book Archie Penner examines what the New Testament teaches on this subject. Penner is thorough and careful. He moves through the entire New Testament from Matthew through Revelation. In an honest way he looks at what Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John say on this subject. Can a faithful Christian take part in the government? Are government officials responsible for what they do? Is God responsible for what they do? How is the government “ordained by God”? Does God approve of the actions of an evil government? This is a challenging and thought-provoking book. Penner sticks closely to his stated subject and does not stray afield. He assumes, but does not directly deal with, the truth of nonresistance. His exposition makes clear why the Christian is separate from the government. When you have finished his book, you feel you know what the New Testament says about the subject. Archie Penner has been a teacher and minister in the Evangelical Mennonite Conference in Canada. The New Testament, the Christian, and the State is the first reprint of a book that appeared in 1959 under a slightly different title. Penner is retired and lives in Manitoba. 128 pp. Paper. |
