State Religion As Government Power In Bible and History
Devotional reading contrasts state church power with American ideals, citing Jeroboam and Jeroboam’s calf worship as cautionary examples. It argues state religion risks control by rulers, transforms religion into politics, and warns of moral decay when government dominates worship. Includes ad-like remnants and credits to Christian education sources.
