Obedience to Rulers--the Duty and its Limitations. A Discourse Delivered December 22d, 1850, on the two Hundred and Thirtieth Anniversary of the Landi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175292186)

In "Obedience to Rulers--the Duty and its Limitations," William De Loss Love delivers a compelling discourse on the principles governing the relationship between citizens and their government. Originally presented on December 22nd, 1850, marking the 230th anniversary of the Pilgrims' landing, this work explores the concept of obedience to authority within the framework of moral and religious duty.

Love delves into the historical context of the Pilgrims' journey, examining their motivations and the challenges they faced in establishing a new society. He argues for a balanced understanding of civic responsibility, asserting that while obedience to rulers is a duty, it is not without limitations. This discourse provides valuable insights into the political and religious thought of the mid-19th century, offering a nuanced perspective on the enduring questions of governance and individual liberty.
