Publisher's Synopsis
""How Superior Powers Ought To Be Obeyed By Their Subjects And Wherein They May Lawfully By God's Word Be Disobeyed And Resisted"" is a book written by Christopher Goodman. The book discusses the relationship between those in power and their subjects, and the obligations and responsibilities of both parties. Goodman argues that those in power have a duty to rule justly and in accordance with God's will, and that their subjects have a duty to obey them. However, he also argues that there are situations in which it is lawful to disobey and even resist those in power, if they are acting contrary to God's commands. The book draws heavily on biblical and theological sources, and was written during a time of political and religious turmoil in England. It remains a significant work in the history of political theology and the relationship between church and state.Wherein also is declared the cause of all this present misery in England, and the only way to remedy the same.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
