# Christ and the State

In “Christ and the State,” Arnold De Welles Miller argues that civil government is ultimately accountable to the lordship of Christ and must govern according to God’s moral law rather than religious neutrality. While maintaining a distinction between the church and the state, Miller contends that rulers and nations still have a duty to honor Christ publicly, uphold justice and morality, and recognize the authority of Scripture in public life.
