What does the New Testament have to say about the attitude of Christians and the church toward those who exercise political authority? Few topics have caused more controversy in the history of the church than the relationship between church and state-from the first century to the present. Pilgrim offers an analysis of the various attitudes of New Testament writers on this difficult subject, ranging from submission to overt resistance by the church. The volume also excursus on "Church and State in Luke-Acts" and a concluding chapter on hermeneutics.

"Pilgrim provides us a sound and helpful treatment of this timely and important topic, which has not received book-length attention since Oscar Cullmann's The State in the New Testament (1956). His analysis is useful as a discussion of the topic as well as providing an introduction to the larger hermeneutical issues." ---Sharyn Dowd Lexington Theological Seminary
Walter E. Pilgrim is Professor of New Testament at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington.
