Description

Few Christians today understand the principles for good government written in the Bible. In this sweeping analysis John Petley outlines the development of political thinking, first within the Scriptures and secondly in their application in Europe and North America. Reaching an apogee in the work of Reformation and Puritan theologians Petley describes how the application of these Scriptural principles brought an unprecedented wave of blessing and prosperity to those nations. Tracking onwards through history, Petley follows the rise of atheistic philosophies and ideologies, rooted in the Enlightenment era, and how they undermined the Christian foundations of our society, leading directly to the moral and economic morass in which we now find ourselves.
