Even before American soldiers were involved in fighting in the war in Vietnam, someone observed that the United States government was spending money Òlike a drunken sailor. The years since then have substantiated the truth of that observation. The exorbitant cost of war production and the fantastic waste involved in military spending has prompted more and more citizens to inquire as to just what tax funds are being spent on. Disgruntled taxpayers discover that wars and taxes invariably go together. When governments engage in wars, they immediately levy taxes on the citizens to pay for them. This pattern of taxation is firmly grounded in historical experience. In an effort to see the parallels between our times and earlier times, the author begins his study of the war tax problem by taking a brief look at the history of taxation (both ancient and modern). With this background for perspective he moves on to examine several biblical passages like ÒRender to Caesar . . ., which are often used to justify an absolute, unquestioning obedience to governmental demands. Here is a Òhang-up that frequently paralyzes Christian social concern into helpless indifference. A third section of the book explores three basic arguments against the voluntary payment of war taxes. The appeal and power of these arguments are then demonstrated by reviewing only a few of the ways in which people have attempted to resolve this painful ethical dilemma. The author makes a strong case for a more radical Christian application of what it means to be a conscientious objector to war. He claims that those who are willing to refuse the government their Òwarm bodies but nevertheless volunteer (however reluctantly) their Òcold cash for war taxes, are failing to make the choice of discipleship where it counts. Instead, the Christian must find in his commitment to God the kind of courage which enables him to say a decisive No! to the unreasonable demands of government, regardless of the consequences to his own life. Nothing less than this will be adequate to confront the evil and potential destructiveness of our giant Òmilitary-industrial complex.

Jesus an anarchist? That doesn't sound like the Jesus preached by the political establishment, mega church pastors, or even most small town ministers. Nevertheless, Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God that makes all other political loyalties inconsequential. In this collection of essays, theologian Cody Cook gives the biblical answer to the question of how Christians are supposed to relate to the state. Endorsements: "We learn most by engaging thought in community, and Cody Cook's essays are a solid contribution to the discussion over Christian politics, pacifism, and the legitimacy of the state. Readers are challenged with profound arguments for better readings of important biblical texts and reconsideration of traditionally accepted formulations of theology. All will come away with a deeper understanding of how imperative it is for Christians to think in a Christlike manner." - Doug Stuart, CEO, Libertarian Christian Institute "What is God's alternative to the violent, unjust, and oppressive human systems of government that deform the lives of so many human beings? The answer: the church, a new community of people saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus and living out his kingdom values. So often, however, the church goes badly wrong and ends up mimicking the evil of the world. This book gives glimpses into where we go wrong and how we can do things better." - Nick Megoran, Professor of Political Geography at Newcastle University and Minister of Wallsend Baptist Church, and author of 2017 Wipf & Stock book Warlike Christians in an Age of Violence "For any politically-minded follower of Jesus the question of one's posture toward power is a fundamental one. To resolve the tension between temporal kingdoms and the King of Kings, Cody offers a thorough yet concise view of the arguments and scripture at hand. In typical fashion Cody has given Christians another even handed treatment of a controversial topic with prayerful consideration, grace, and precision. What Belongs to Caesar? is a perfect entry into a lifetime of the liberty only Christ provides." - J. A. Dangelo, AntiWarWarVet.com "Christian voters often claim biblical support for their conviction that this or that candidate, or even this or that political party, is to be preferred over the other. Rarely, however, are they as genuinely thoughtful, comprehensive, and rigorous in their application of Scripture to government, politics, and voting, as Cody Cook is in What Belongs to Caesar? Readers may find legitimate fault in and disagree with some of Cook's arguments, but it will not be easy, and it will force them to take a much closer and more careful look at the Bible than they're probably accustomed to doing." - Christopher M. Date, Adjunct Professor of Bible and Theology, Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary

Ten years after over half a million Christians signed their names to a statement of conscience clarifying where they stood, the three issues dealt with in the Manhattan Declaration are of more cultural importance than ever. The main difference now, as opposed to then, is the state has since claimed authority, not only over life, but also over marriage and religious liberty. In Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty, Christian scholars and authors—writing from various Evangelical, Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic traditions—evaluate the current cultural landscape and update the Manhattan Declaration call to Christian conviction.

The year is 1982, in Kenya. A new regime is in its fourth year in power following the passing on of the founding father. Not all of the political elite support the new ruler, though, and dissent and crackdowns are rife. There is talk of a traitor being groomed by foreign powers to take over the presidency. There is grand corruption within and on the country's borders, and even gun-running. Cattle rustling and other crimes are rife, so that insecurity is rampant, but particularly bad in some regions of the country. Against this backdrop Philemon Changilwa, a young man and a footballer of a local side, live with their family near the slopes of mount Elgon. He leaves the family compound to inherit a family farm not far from where his father, a musician lives with the rest of his brothers and their families. His family like to tell folk-tales whenever they have time. One of the local footballer's girlfriend is a lady called Charity. She is the daughter of the major in the local police station. The two are deeply in love, but face the skeptism of their parents and that of society. The Air Force attempts to take over the government. The nation is thrown into intensified tension, and the populace with it, after various ways. In this way the trauma of a nation coming to grips with its destiny is replayed endlessly, with grating pain and pessimism; but through all these hope, and young love, promises to grow and prosper. What Belongs to Caesar employs oral narrative to assert the enduring relevance of folk wisdom in probing old, new and emerging experiences and realities.

"What does it mean to render to Caesar what is his and render to God what is His? How a believer understands this text will, to a large degree, determine how they will approach matters of nationalism and politics as they follow Jesus." - Dr Chris Surber Matthew 22:15-22 is a passage usually seen as essentially about paying taxes. Author Chris Surber takes us deeper into Jesus' meaning as he includes the historical context and the crowd to whom Jesus was speaking.

As a prefect of Rome, his allegiance belongs to Caesar; as a Christian, his life belongs to God. Amidst the tyranny and treachery of a half-crazed emperor's reign, Taurus Antinor seeks to remains true to his oath to Caesar and to God. When offered the glory of a kingdom and the love of a woman, this powerful magistrate sacrifices all for the sake of a Galilean upon a cross.
