Christian Civil Government in America: The National Reform Movement: Its History and Principles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025551890)

"Christian Civil Government in America: The National Reform Movement" provides an exhaustive examination of the philosophical and historical foundations of the National Reform Movement in the United States. Authored by David McAllister, this work explores the intricate relationship between religious principles and civil governance. The book delineates the movement's core objective: the formal recognition of Christian principles within the American constitutional framework.

The text traces the history of the movement from its inception, documenting the legal and social arguments used to advocate for a more explicitly Christian identity for the nation. McAllister analyzes the moral obligations of a civil state, the role of divine law in public life, and the historical precedents that supporters believed justified their cause. This volume serves as a significant primary source for understanding the debates surrounding church and state in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

By articulating the theological and political vision of the movement, "Christian Civil Government in America" offers readers a profound look into a specific strain of American religious thought that sought to harmonize national law with biblical ethics. It remains an essential resource for scholars of American history, political science, and religious studies.
