Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from God and Our Country: A Discourse Delivered in the First Congregational Church in Roxbury, on Fast Day, April 8, 1847 These are the words of Jesus. The Pharisees were trying to entangle him in a dilemma which they thought he could not escape. They ask him whether it is right or wrong for them, Jews, to pay tribute to the Roman emperor. The difficulty of the question lay here. The Jews had been conquered, and were held as a Roman province by force of arms. If he said, without qualification, that it was right to pay the tribute, and so acknowledged the rightful supremacy of the emperor, they knew he would expose himself to the indignation of the Jewish people, who held it as one of the most sacred ideas of their religious and civil polity, that no sovereign but God should be recognized, or a man of their own race, whom God should designate and anoint. On the other hand, if he said it was wrong to pay the tribute, they could go at once to the Roman magistrate and accuse him of seditious words, and so destroy him.
