Of Resisting the Lawfull Magistrate Upon Colour of Religion [By H. Hammond]. Augmented

By Henry Hammond

Book Overview

"Of Resisting the Lawfull Magistrate Upon Colour of Religion," by Henry Hammond, explores the complex intersection of religious belief and political authority in seventeenth-century England. This augmented edition delves into the circumstances under which individuals may feel justified in resisting lawful authority based on religious grounds. Hammond, a prominent theologian, provides a detailed examination of the arguments for and against such resistance, offering insights into the tensions between obedience to God and obedience to the state.

This work offers valuable perspectives on the historical context of religious and political thought and is crucial for understanding the debates surrounding civil disobedience and the limits of governmental power. Hammond's analysis remains relevant for those interested in the ongoing dialogue between faith, ethics, and the responsibilities of citizenship.
