Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that establishing Christianity as the state religion contradicts the principles of the original Christian faith. The author, Ralph Wardlaw, draws from the New Testament to show that Jesus envisioned his kingdom as separate from those of this world, with its own means of support and propagation. Wardlaw shows that state establishments are not only unscriptural but also harmful to the spiritual character of the church.

Wardlaw's thorough analysis and persuasive arguments challenge the validity of state-sponsored religion, offering insights that remain significant for understanding the nature and mission of the church today.
