Conscience and Obedience - William Stringfellow - Bog

Is the Church truly above politics? Or is it all too often a gullible victim of the political arena?
The theme of this prophetic work is that Christians must comprehend politics if they are to transcend politics. In 'Conscience and Obedience', William Stringfellow reviews the long history of the church's interpretations and misinterpretations of Scriptural texts relating to politics. The most notorious abuses have come, he says, in interpretations of Romans 13 and Revelation 13.
Stringfellow declares that what is missing most is an understanding of eschatology that can stand against any political ideology, whether of the status quo or revolution.

'Conscience and Obedience' challenges the reader to examine the sources of our faith and our freedom.
