An Extract, From a Manuscript Entitled the Peacemaker, or the Doctrines of the Millennium: Being a Treatise on Religion and Jurisprudence, or a New System of Religion and Politicks (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Restore the law of God to politics, family, and society
This treatise argues for a comprehensive, scripture‑based system of religion and governance, centered on marriage, parental authority, and the state’s moral duty to uphold divine law.
Drawing on biblical text and moral argument, the work frames the family as the root of stable government. It advocates a male‑led household, with the husband as head and the wife under his guidance, and it prescribes penalties for adultery, divorce, and violations of marital duties. The treatise contends that only this order can bring peace, purity, and enduring social harmony, and it critiques modern laws that diverge from the divine pattern.
Readers will encounter direct debates about the scope of religious law in civil life, the rights and duties of husbands and wives, and the model of national governance grounded in scripture. The text argues that changing this law undermines society and invites ruin, urging a return to an immutable divine framework.
- Clear argument for a hierarchical, scripture‑based view of marriage and family governance
- Discussion of penalties and duties related to marital fidelity and divorce
- Critique of contemporary laws seen as deviating from divine law
- Reflection on the role of religion in shaping national law and social order
Ideal for readers interested in historical religious politics, early American religious treatises, and debates about the relationship between law, faith, and society.
