Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gospel and Government, the Development of the Christian State The Gospel contains no prescriptions as to Government, therefore the title of this work might be considered misleading. It is not a mere paradox. All that it is intended to suggest is that the people who have accepted the Gospel have also developed a type of government which, because those who have created it adhere to the tenets of Christianity, may be called with at least historical justification a Christian government. The Christian world has adopted democracy and constitutional rule as the highest ideals of government. Why is it that under Islam, Buddism, and other great religions no advance was made in the conception or practice of government? To answer this query requires an explanation, and the most satisfactory explanation is given by history. Christian doctrines, theories and ethics might be taken as a starting point, and they could be shown to result in the kind of individual and social life that the world to-day is striving to obtain. A more convincing, and a more instructive method, is to abide by the witness of history, and show in historical events and movements the origins and the causes that have made the modern Christian State.
