What would Jesus do under tyranny? Well, what did Jesus do under tyranny? In this book, you'll see how Jesus and countless heroes of the faith navigated unjust judges, illegal arrests, civil rights violations, weapons bans, street-preaching bans, being forbidden to meet together, and more. See over 200 Scriptural examples of resistance to these age-old challenges, and the saints' legacy of overcoming "by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony" (Rev. 12:11). Discover Scripture-based resistance tactics for individuals, churches, and magistrates. See why Romans 13 proves that tyrants are not ministers of God, and what makes a ruler a tyrant. Learn what the Great Commission says about your responsibilities to your magistrate, in good times, bad times, and everything in between. And get a peek at the Bible's grid for individualized decision making, so that you can know "when to hold and when to fold" in exercising your Divine Right of Resistance.

In a world where national and international governments are grasping for ever more power and control, Christians need to be better equipped to answer some basic questions: Does the State have limits, and HOW is the State limited?

Every Christian faced with an expanding State should read it.

At the conclusion of his magisterial declaration of the doctrines of grace in the epistle to the Romans, the Apostle Paul provides a practical application calling believers to both resistance, “do not be conformed to this world,” and reformation, “but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:1-2). In this careful Biblical and historical study, Dr. Kayser provides us with a powerful encouragement to make this practical application manifest in this day of disintegrating forces. Highly recommended.
