The following article is rather lengthy but provides the best treatment thus far I have seen on the issue of the responsibilities of the civil government before God and its relationship to the church.

Some here may also be interested in reading the review of "Theologians of the Baptist Tradition" in the same journal.

For whatever strength of arm he may have who swims in the open sea, yet in time he is carried away and sunk, mastered by the greatness of its waves. Need then there is that we be in the ship, that is, that we be carried in the wood, that we may be able to cross this sea. Now this Wood in which our weakness is carried is the Cross of the Lord, by which we are signed, and delivered from the dangerous tempests of this world.--St. Augustine
I'm relieved to note that not all "Protestants" are "murderers and sacralists"!
