Resisting Tyranny: A Christian Response to Government Overreach EBOOK
Resisting Tyranny: A Christian Response to Government Overreach EBOOK
Ezra Press
The state measures during the Covid era were unprecedented in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. Never before had the state infringed so massively, and for so long, on virtually all the fundamental rights of citizens – with still incalculable consequences. The state revealed itself to be authoritarian and repressive in a way that had seemed unimaginable in the Western world. All the more shocking was the reaction of most churches: Largely uncritically, they obeyed the state orders, from distancing, masking, and testing mandates to bans on worship, singing, and the ordinances. But, as if that were not enough, a number of pastors, Bible scholars and seminary professors were found, calling on Christians to submit to the state’s measures, claiming that this was their biblical duty.
This book is a compilation of statements, sermons, lectures, and other documents regarding the restrictive state measures during the Covid crisis and the response of a large part of the Church in this regard.
