Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a defense of the authority of the civil magistrate in matters of religion. The author argues that the magistrate has a duty to preserve true religion and the honor of God in the world. He asserts that the magistrate's authority does not extend to forcing a belief of a doubtful or false opinion, or a religion not yet professed. The author's aim is to preserve the authority of the magistrate in matters of religion while ensuring that religious liberty and tolerance are not extinguished. The author's position on the authority of the civil magistrate is set against the backdrop of controversies at the time about the role of the Church of Rome and its methods to propagate opinions. The author argues against the use of rewards and punishments to make men believe as the church believes, arguing that salvation is not attained in this manner, but rather in the hereafter. This book is an important contribution to the debate about the relationship between church and state, and the nature of religious authority.
