description: This book provides an analysis of the Christian's relation to government and public policy. The task is undertaken by using both economic analysis and biblical exegesis that lead to both scientific or logical conclusions as well as advocacy ones. Dr. Cobin would like to warn the reader in advance that this book conforms to neither mainstream Evangelical thought about government nor theonomy (Christian Reconstructionism). On the contrary, it challenges received statist orthodoxy and often revered cherished state institutions. The book provides the necessary basis for both doing economics and public policy work as well as providing an fundamental understanding for Christians dealing with their relationship to civil government. At times the book is polemic and advocacy-oriented. At other times it is objective and scientific. A few excerpts from the "Biblical doctrine is not dependent on political boundaries. Its truth was the same in Rome in AD57, the Ukraine in AD1945
