David Lipscomb shaped the Stone-Campbell Restoration movement, yet his ideas have long been unavailable to general readers, including his belief that Christians should not participate in secular politics. This volume comprises three of his works regarding Christians’ relationship to civil government, along with an introduction by the editors that explains how his political writings receded from view.
“An excellent collection of Lipscomb’s provocative writings, made even more timely by putting his ideas into conversation with today’s theorists.”
—James Gorman, co-author of Reviving the Ancient Faith: The Story of Churches of Christ in America
