This book gives a straightforward Gospel message and goes on to show how that message affects all of life, and should give the believer a total world view. I recommend it highly, as it directly states that God is Sovereign in all things, and gives us each a direction for living out our belief and trust in Christ.
Good primer on dominion theology and Christianity in general
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Gary North begins the book assuming no prior knowledge of Christianity (without suspending his own presuppositions) and addresses the reader as an unbeliever. He writes about the sufficiency of Christianity as a way of life. Having established the above, he begins to explain the FOUNDATIONAL teachings of Christianity as contained in her rulebook for faith and practice, the bible, then he proceeds to inform the reader about the biblical version of various social INSTITUTIONS, finally, the biblical EXPECTATIONS Christians have for Reformation in these institutions.Important themes:1. Multi-tiered hierarchies vs. one leviathan hierarchy (ex. state, family, church vs messianic state).2. God's peace treaty: surrender to His law.3. Progressive success of the Gospel.4. Dominion assignment, God's delegated authority to man.Warning about unorthodox views on pedocommunion.

This is the best book I have found to set the starting place for Christians wanting to get involved in the civic arena. I believe some are called to be civil ministers, and Dr. Norths sets out the very first hurdle Christians must face: Who are you going to serve?
