What is Christian Patriotism?
As explained by Alonzo Trevier (A. T.) Jones, patriotism is love of country. And the country that we love is the country of our birth. For the Christian, that also means loving the country of their new birth-the country of Heaven. In "Christian Patriotism," Jones establishes the Biblical foundation for our citizenship in Heaven, and also explains what that means in the Christian life-including where our allegiance to government ends and allegiance to God takes over (or vice versa). In this classic book, Jones also explores the origin of the uniting of church and state-including its history and the results allowing any government to dictate the manner of individual worship. Though some would have us believe that legislation is needed to control the thoughts of humanity, even designating a national day of worship through Sunday laws or legislation, Jones underscores the issues at stake, establishing once again the importance of individual choice, and that individuals should not be forced to worship against their wishes.
