Publisher's Synopsis
"RENDER UNTO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR'S!" BUT WHAT IS CAESAR'S? "OBEY CAESAR UNLESS IT'S SINFUL" HAS BECOME AN ALMOST UNIVERSAL INTERPRETATION OF ROMANS 13. BUT IS THAT CORRECT? WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS, "JUMP!" DO WE SIMPLY SAY, "HOW HIGH?"
Since the arrival of Covid-19, governments around the world have been imposing mandates, lockdowns, and other restrictions. Churches were told to close, or, if they could remain open, to do so outside, or with masks, or social distancing, or without singing, or in limited numbers, or even all of the above. And yet despite that the response from churches has been incredibly varied. CAESAR AND THE CHURCH takes us on a brief overview through the biblical teaching on authority, and in particular how it relates to the relationship between Caesar (that is, civil government) and the Church.
