Romans 13 has been a go-to text for answering Christian questions about government. Does it teach christians how to use political power? Are christians supposed to obey good government? Should christians overthrow bad governments? A look at Romans 13 in context shows that some of the claims about this text don’t hold water. Nick and Matt take a look at God’s ordering of worldly authorities and how Christians are called to participate (and sometimes not participate) in God’s work. They also consider common questions around violence in light of this calling, such as using violence for good and violence in the Old Testament.
