Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the connection between religion and civil government. The author argues that government is a divine institution, and that the magistrate is the minister of God. This theory is seen in contrast to the opposing view that government is a human institution, and that the magistrate is the servant of the people. The author draws on historical and philosophical sources to support his argument, and he explores how this theory would affect the powers of government. He concludes by discussing the practical implications of this theory for the magistrate and the people. This book will be of interest to scholars of political science, religion, and history. It offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between religion and government, and it provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of political authority.
