Dear Subscribers,
I am pleased to inform you of the release of the expanded edition of Render Unto Caesar Unless He Taxes Your Tea: Secession, Just War, and the Spiritual Integrity of the Church. This new version, now comprising 86 pages, significantly extends the original 6,000-word manuscript you may have encountered on this blog. Available today on Kindle Unlimited at https://a.co/d/7WH3MEe, this edition offers a deeper exploration of the tension between Christian faith and national allegiance, tracing American wars from the Revolution to the present.
The expansion includes detailed analyses of historical case studies, from colonial pulpit divisions to modern ethical challenges in the Terror Wars, alongside a comprehensive examination of just war theory through Augustine, Aquinas, and contemporary applications. A new appendix provides a small group Bible study guide to facilitate reflection. Dedicated to my wife, Melissa, whose support was instrumental, this work builds on your prior engagement with the shorter version, offering fresh insights and a call to rediscover a cruciform witness.
I encourage you to explore this expanded edition and share your thoughts. For those interested in the original concise treatment, it remains accessible in our archives. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
R.T. Hadley
