A propos de cet article

Paperback. The letter of Jude is one of the shortest in the New Testament. Today we read its twenty-five verses as a pastoral warning: beware false teachers, keep yourselves in the love of God. That reading is correct and relevant today. But the warning is only half the message.Jude was the younger brother of Jesus Christ. He grew up in the same household and watched the movement from the inside. When he wrote his letter, he described what he saw in political terms. Not a religion. A democracy. Not congregants. Citizens. Not a church. A parliament.A Case for Democracy traces every word of Jude's letter back through the Greek Old Testament to its Hebrew origins and shows that beneath the familiar devotional surface sits a complete governance document: one that identifies citizens, prosecutes saboteurs, issues standing orders, and closes with a binding vote. It was written in a register the Roman Empire never recognised.At the heart of the argument is a simple but extraordinary claim: because God owns his people, no one else can. That single principle, drawn from Leviticus 25, abolishes slavery, prevents oligarchy, and underwrites an entire constitutional order.In this book you will discover: - How the early Christian assembly functioned as a parliament, not merely a congregation- The two-register system that concealed a governance document from Roman surveillance- A three-stage pattern for how institutions collapse from within- The economic constitution hidden in Leviticus 25- Why the questions Jude was answering, about authority, freedom, and the sabotage of institutions from within, are the questions of this momentFor readers of N.T. Wright, Tom Holland, Timothy Snyder, and Jonathan Sacks who have sensed there is more in Scripture than devotional reading alone has delivered. The evidence is before you. The verdict is yours. A forensic, verse-by-verse reading of Jude as the constitutional charterof a democratic assembly: citizens, a parliament, a sovereign guarantee. This item is printed on demand.
