Provoked by secularism’s growing dominance in culture, a growing number of Christians have begun arguing the church needs to undertake nation building through culture war. Some identify as Theonomists, others as Magisterial Protestants, many as Christian Nationalists. Differences exist between these groups, but all of them want all Ten Commandments or the Apostles' Creed placed front and center in a nation’s founding documents. Many would also shrink the scope of religious liberty. Yet is this what Jesus had in mind when he sent his church into the world to make disciples? This issue of Church Matters will argue that it isn’t. These authoritarian systems fail to recognize that nations can’t be saved; only people can. And it’s saved people gathering in churches who bear Jesus’s name, not governments. Jesus promised victory to his Church, not to the countries where his churches live as exiles and pilgrims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditor's Note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthoritarianism and Gospel Authority\u003cbr\u003eA New Christian Authoritarianism by Jonathan Leeman\u003cbr\u003eWhat Authority Has God Given to Governments? by Jonathan Leeman\u003cbr\u003eSay No to Christian Nominalism by Jonathan Leeman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheonomy and Christian Nationalism Basics\u003cbr\u003eTheonomy Primer: What Is It and How Does It Work? by Tom Hicks\u003cbr\u003eReconstruction Theonomy Vs.
