Paul and the role of government in Christian teaching
Lawrence Walthouse argues that early Christians faced state pressure yet affirmed orderly government as a divine instrument. Paul viewed the Roman Empire as providential, enforcing just law and peace to enable safe travel and societal stability. Human government is needed due to human sin, preventing chaos and mob rule, even when rulers do not acknowledge God. True freedom means obedience to God's will wherever it is found.
