Title: Helpful on an important contemporary issue
Review: In this helpful little study Dr. Cullmann examines the New Testament to discern the attitude of the founders of the church toward government. What at first seems to be contradictory attitudes are shown to be a unitary teaching on a Christian attitude to all governments that depends on the State's actions. The focus is on the question, "Is the State taking the place of God?" The answer to that question determines how Christians interact with the government, argues Dr. Cullmann. I did not agree with everything he said in this little book, but he proved his thesis is sound and drew out some areas for practical application. This is worth your time to read.
