What does church and state mean? The relationship between church and state in America is a tumultuous one, often regarded by Christians as a confusing mess that is best left alone. Yet both the temporal kingdom of civil government and the eternal heavenly kingdom are God's blessings to us. This book by pastor and author Daniel Deutschlander looks at government as presented during biblical times, traces church-state relations throughout history, and concludes by addressing the current state of affairs in the United States. As you read Civil Government, you'll learn about the relationship between church and state and be led to the Scriptures to seek principles for guiding and motivating your attitudes and actions!
