About This Book

A series of lectures and appended essays rethinks the Christian relationship to nationhood, state authority, and public morality in light of contemporary war. The author contends that Christian principles—justice, liberty, holiness, catholicity, and reliance on spiritual means—must inform political action and resist oppressive nationalism, while the Church should promote brotherhood that transcends national boundaries. The material unfolds through discussions of the kingdom of freedom, church and state relations, justice and liberty in the state, holiness and catholicity in the Church, the idea of heavenly citizenship, and the role of God in history, with shorter appendices on apocalyptic awareness, authority, education, orders, and providence.
