The Christian and the Magistrate (Pierre Viret)
$9.95What is the Biblical definition of a civil magistrate? Should Christians be subject to them? Should civil governments be subject to God? Is physical resistance to authority ever justifiable? Under what circumstances? And what is a Christian’s role with respect to the civil sphere?
16th century Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret once expressed his feelings of political turmoil: “By nature I have always loved peace, and was always horrified at all dissensions and troubles.” Despite the man’s peace-loving nature, however, God chose to place Viret in some of the most politically tumultuous situations imaginable throughout his life. In these times Viret was compelled to search the Scriptures in an effort to instruct his congregations—as well as countless others asking his advice—on the Biblical definition and response to civil government, war, resistance against authorities, tyrants, and many other political matters. The writings contained in The Christian and the Magistrate are a collection of some of the applications Viret offered of the Biblical truths pertaining to magistrates and the Christian’s duty to them.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates (Matthew Trewhella)
$12.75The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates places in your hands a hopeful blueprint for freedom. Appealing to history and the Word of God, Pastor Matthew Trewhella answers these questions and shows how Americans can successfully resist the Federal government’s attempts to trample our Constitution, assault our liberty, and impugn the law of God.
The doctrine of the lesser magistrates declares that when the superior or higher civil authority makes an unjust/immoral law or decree, the lesser or lower ranking civil authority has both the right and duty to refuse obedience to that superior authority. If necessary, the lower authority may even actively resist the superior authority.

Authority Issues: When It’s Hard Being Told What to do
$5.62It’s frustrating to be under imperfect authority. And sometimes it’s more than frustrating–we suffer when someone’s authority is unfair, capricious, or just plain wrong. But does that let us off the hook? Do we have to listen only to those we agree with?
Robert Smith explains how God calls us to submit to authority – even imperfect authority – and that, as we do so, we are following in Jesus’ steps. As we redirect our trust from fallen authority figures to the gracious and loving God who is ultimately in charge of our lives, we can avoid the traps of bitterness and expectation and become more like Christ.

The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible: Revised and Enhanced (B. B. Warfield)
$39.95Princeton theologian B. B. Warfield was a watchman on the wall of orthodoxy. His temperament, training, and talent—together with his deep love for Christ and amazing breadth of knowledge—shaped him into the twentieth century’s greatest defender of the faith. His writings have been studied with profit for well over a hundred years—a tribute to his clear, careful, cogent, gospel-centered exposition of orthodox Christianity, which he called “the redemptive religion” and which he fearlessly defended.
In The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible, Warfield says that the Bible is “an oracular book . . . the Word of God in such a sense that whatever it says God says” that all its affirmations are “to be esteemed as the utterance of God, of infallible truth and authority.” Warfield’s incisive scholarship shines in this new and enhanced edition, which has been edited, formatted, and retypeset for modern readers. Its carefully prepared aids include comprehensive abstracts at the beginning of each chapter, intelligent headings, smart paragraph breaks, explanatory notes, definitions of obscure terms, discussion questions, recommended reading, complete footnotes and bibliographies, and more.

A Journey in Authority (Richard Belcher)
$8.95The continuing story of pastor Ira Pointer, facing another theological pursuit: this one, Biblical church government. Having always assumed that church decisions should be made in a congregational manner, a jolting experience leads him to consider the possibility that the New Testament teaches elder rule. He has to study the Scriptures to determine:
- What is an elder?
- What authority does an elder have?
- And what are a church’s obligations to their elders, and his obligations to the church?
