Obey God rather than men.
Here's how.

If you hate the Tyranny of the last two years get this book and get involved.

Very important book to understand how to address the culture war against christians today. God's law is not changeable.

Great, short, simple, clear primer on the doctrine of the lesser magistrates. ... The kind of book you want to have a few copies on hand for giving away.

This is simply a must read for any person of faith who, deep within, senses something is not right with prevalent theology of the role of the church as it relates to civil affairs and obedience... It told me everything I knew in my gut, but which I didn't have well formalized or have a solid grip on any historical basis for my thoughts.

Everyone should read this very important book. Our country is in a full blown crisis, at the brink of collapse. We need lesser magistrates to stand up now.

An excellent primer on the subject. A paradigm shifter for those who have not heard of the doctrine. Much needed.

I highly recommend this book. It's especially helpful in a day when Tyrants want to rule and the people are left with few options...Interposition Ing is a very important tool in the box

Not very often do you find a book with information this valuable. A special thanks is due.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates is a largely unknown doctrine, rooted deeply in the Bible, natural law, and history. Matthew Trewhella's short book on the doctrine is a great introduction and argument for this doctrine.

This is a must read in our current culture, and a must for every elected official to read and do.

Restoring knowledge that has been forgotten, and not taught in modern day. Let us all stand strong and stand in the gap when magistrates and governments rule unrighteously. May God be with us.

An essential biblical framework for understanding the role of government, the magistrates that government is composed of, and the people.

The principals taught in this book are essential to maintain freedom.

An important and valuable read for those concerned about the current state of our nation. This topic has been important throughout all of civilized history.

people should read it so they will know how to defend themselves when attacked by legal lies

I won't say much other than this is arguably the most important work for our times (covid lockdowns and other infringements upon liberty). The Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates and the Magdeburg confession is arguably Lutheranism's greatest legacy to the US in which James Madison himself used to justify the War for Independence. ...

This study of the "Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates" is a mostly overlooked foundational idea underlying a critical element in our Constitution and the nation it created. Federalism is often mentioned, and to some degree explained - but the most important principle underlying federalism is, actually, this doctrine. Read it

Our church leaders are not leading or teaching us truth as it applies to politics, as if God is not God over this area of our lives!

Lord bless us all with strength & courage to use the tools you have provided us here. In Jesus name Amen

Excellent! A short read packed with great biblical and historical information. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

An outstanding book... It clears up misconceptions about Romans 13, and makes clear through biblical and historical examples, our responsibility to resist tyrants.

This book is right on point. ... We must obey our Creator. We must turn from madness, seek goodness, and live.

This is a doctrine I will never forget, and I will share this with everyone I can.

Excellent read for understanding how patriots can deal with [un]constitutional mandates of out of control authorities.

Rich in history and sound Biblical truth. A loud and much needed call to action.

The subtitle says it all: “A Proper Resistance to Tyranny and a Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government.” ... The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates helps us figure that out.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates recognizes the hierarchical nature of all human organizations, from families to villages to states and nations. Knowing that human beings at the top of any given hierarchy are prone to make mistakes, this book argues that lower-level leaders have a responsibility to protect the people below them from mistakes made On High. ...

This book clearly defines the boundary of authority the government has in the life of a Christian (and anyone with any authority), and also clearly identifies the responsibilities of a Christian to respond when government steps outside its God-given boundaries.

This book is an excellent overview of the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates and recommended reading for all Christians.

A must for all Christians and people who love their country. This book will get your mind working and renew a passion for Christ and your country!

This challenged my thinking and understanding! I found myself checking references and quoted passages and discussing key concepts with others throughout this read. A really excellent presentation on the topic.

This book is the WHY the USA as a Republic has kept us as Individuals FREE. And for anyone that wants to GET INVOLVED AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS IS THE BOOK!

This book is a necessity for those who want a solid, biblical, and historical foundation for responding to tyranny. This is not about rebellion but how to respond to tyrants that oppose the law.

Great read. Learned a ton in just the first chapter! He gives references to look into also. This kind of literature should be standard in American households.

A great Biblical and historical perspective on the doctrine of the lesser Magistrate. I do highly recommend it. Very good

In a time where liberties are being stripped, this serves as a wake up call to those interested in preserving liberty.

Very fine introduction to an essential doctrine. A lot of people need to get and read this book.

Great book, easy to read, very informative. A must read for every Christian! Very educational on how to formulate a proper Christian response to a tyrannical government in our day and age.

Such an important book for our times! Happy to see it available in audio form. We have purchased and given away many of these books. :-) Our church has used it as a home group study book for our small groups.

This book is the best entry point for getting the broad contours of the doctrine from both Scripture and history. ... If you want to know what tyranny is and how it should be dealt with, this is a good place to begin. I am going to give it to my sons and may pass it out to family and friends as well.

Well worth reading. Luther benefited from this doctrine. Had Prince Fredrick not protected Luther we would not have a Protestant church today

I share this book with everyone and tell them that we should live this out until Christ returns

We as citizens need to know when to submit, and when to stand up. One book that has made an impact on a biblical understanding of our role and responsibility as citizens is “The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates” by Matthew Trewhella.

This book is very good and gives great information regarding citizens and their true liberty. It is refreshing to have a pastor correctly give biblical truth for Christian citizenship. I highly recommend!

Awesome book! Good narration. ... Overall I highly recommend it.

This book re-introduces a way of thinking and acting that inspires people to turn back the tide of tyranny and godlessness. The author is a student of history.

An absolute must read for all. A key to remaining free and understanding freedom.

This is a must listen for every Christian confused about our obligations to the State, and where we must disobey.

Great break down of a historical and biblical way to free man from tyrannical government

Easy to read, convicting and full of wisdom and history. Pastor Trewella doesn't just teach the principles of activism against tyranny, he is committed to it. Some repetition in the book, but not overall, a great read.

A new “to me” perspective on the role of local civil authorities.

Sadly, most Christians have never heard of this doctrine, which was important in a number of Bible incidents and critical to the American Revolution. We need to recapture this doctrine in our day. Trewhella summarizes the doctrine well, providing solid Scriptural basis, its history in Reformed theology, as well as current applications. ...

Do not be put off by the title. Once the doctrine is simply stated there’s a release of so much practical wisdom that any reader can actually see their role and needed action in making life right. None quite like this subject

For evil to triumph requires that good people do NOTHING. Learn the spirit of this wonderful book, and do something.
