The Roman Imperial Authorities as Servants of God Brad D Corder

According to the New Testament, every governing authority is a servant of God. This groundbreaking work explores what the Apostle Paul meant by this assertion, which forms his argument in Romans 13:1-6. After establishing the meaning of "servant of God," Brad Corder examines the accounts of Paul's journeys to determine how it applied directly to the Roman imperial authorities of Paul's day and continues to apply to governing authorities today. This work contains a concise overview of the Roman imperial government and its military forces, an in-depth analysis of Romans 13:1-6, and a systematic investigation of Paul's encounters with the Roman imperial authorities recorded in Acts. This book is a must-read for those seeking to better understand the biblical basis for government, the military, and law enforcement.
