  Errors in Church State Unity 

The Anatomy of a Hybrid
A Study in Church-State Relationships

Leonard Verduin
Discusses the errors that occur when the jurisdictions of the civil government and church government are confused, blurred, or fused. An important work to consider with the topic. The Anatomy of A Hybrid conclusively demonstrates the errors and atrocities which occur when Church and State are wed together, and how the Constantinian era was, in fact, the fall of the church.

  Civil Government Structure

Disclaimer: With due consideration of the above titles it must be well understood that civil Government was established by God. As such, we ought to think Biblically upon its nature, jurisdiction, and responsibilities. While considering this it must be maintained that Old Covenant along with its laws were for the Covenant nation of O.T. Israel, and have been fulfilled and abrogated with the coming the of the New Covenant. O.T. Israel was bound to the sundry Old Covenant civil laws, modern nations are not bound by them. With this in view the issue must be wrestled with as to what form civil government ought to take and how the Godly Statesman ought think upon his vocation.

The Law
Frederic Bastiat

This slim volume is a real classic—elegant and enduring, with the power to change the way people view the political process. With an introduction by noted economist Walter E. Williams, and a foreword by Ideas on Liberty editor Sheldon Richman, No one who loves liberty should be without it. 

Savior or Servant?
Putting Government in Its Place

David W. Hall

A revival of a classic approach to limited government. In a time when nations are beginning to shrink bloated governments, a surprising source commends itself as an able assistant in reform. The scriptural view of the state, removed from the varied fads of political science or partisanship, provides an enduring perspective by which to measure all states.
