Jesus and Civil Government: A Contribution to the Problem of Christianity and Coercion is a book written by A. T. Cadoux that explores the relationship between Christianity and the role of the state in governing society. The book examines the teachings of Jesus and how they can inform our understanding of civil government and the use of coercion.Cadoux argues that Jesus' teachings on love, forgiveness, and nonviolence challenge the traditional use of force by governments to maintain order and control. He suggests that Christians should view civil government as a necessary but imperfect institution that must be held accountable to ethical and moral standards.The book also explores the historical context of Jesus' teachings and how they were understood and applied by early Christian communities. Cadoux examines the writings of influential Christian thinkers such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin, and how their views on civil government have influenced Christian thought throughout history.Overall, Jesus and Civil Government is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between Christianity and the state. Cadoux's analysis offers a fresh perspective on the role of the church in shaping society and the importance of ethical and moral principles in governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
