There are no political solutions to spiritual maladies. But there are biblical principles that ought to govern our political solutions.

On the Ethics Page are a number of articles on theonomy. Those address the proper extent of Christian participation and control in the community. This Politics Page is more about the relation between the State and the Individual, the interaction between our public and private spheres. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. But don't give Caesar more than his due.

Academy of Ideas - These are secular analyses, but they may help you grasp what's been going on worldwide:

• Reasons for Religious Exemptions - Steiger (2 pages)
• Thomas Hooker - Sum of Church Discipline (1646) - modernized.
  
• Before Locke, Madison, and Jefferson, there was Thomas Hooker. He refutes the hierarchy of S. Rutherford, and indirectly, the paternalism of T. Hobbes (social contract). He is the father of Constitutional Government in America. He is the vindicator of independent churches -- exemplars of government by consent of the people, under God. He has been described as an "ecclesiastical republican." Without the Reformers and their progeny, such as Hooker, there would be no America.
