Christian Civil Government in America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025551302)

"Christian Civil Government in America" is an extensive examination of the foundational relationship between religious faith and the American political system. This work articulates the theological and legal arguments for the formal recognition of Christian principles within the governing structures of the United States. The text explores the historical roots of American law, contending that a stable and moral civil government must acknowledge the sovereignty of divine authority to ensure national prosperity and moral order.

The book delves into the complex interplay between the Constitution and religious ethics, addressing topics such as the moral duties of citizens, the role of religious education, and the legal arguments for identifying the nation as a Christian state. David McAllister provides a rigorous analysis of judicial precedents and legislative history to support the vision of a nation dedicated to aligning its civil administration with spiritual mandates. "Christian Civil Government in America" serves as a significant historical document for those interested in political theology, the history of the church-state debate, and the development of religious influence in American public life. It offers a deep dive into the intellectual currents that sought to bridge the gap between secular governance and biblical principles during the early 20th century.
