ABSTRACT: The best we can say is that the American Christian Constitution has a democrat heart in a republican skeleton. The oath-bound covenant to a criminal justice system based on God’s law is replaced by a social contract based on majority rule. Until American Christians come to grips with this reality there can be no deliverance. Principles of Republican representation, Federalist division of power, and horizontal separation of power comprise the lifeless, secular skeleton. We cannot enjoy the gifts (liberty) of God apart from God, Himself. Failure of Attempted Reform After the Civil War, the National Reform Association recognized this and sought
ABSTRACT: As prelude to the American Civil War most Confederate States left the union shortly after the election victory of Abraham Lincoln in November, 1860. Proof that the Civil War was not fought over slavery is the Corwin Amendment. It would have authorized any state to allow slavery. Passed by the all Northern Congress two days before Lincoln took office, on March 2, 1861, Lincoln approved it in his Inaugural Address. They were trying to woo the Southern states to come back in. It didn’t work because that same day they voted to double the protective tariff to 40% on Southern

ABSTRACT: The One and the Many is the ultimate philosophical problem addressed by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy and his less well known, De Monarchia. The essential problem is how to balance the need for a unitary government (the one) to maintain order in society, with the need for its citizens (the many) to interact freely in their common culture. Dante resolves the philosophical problem of “the one and the many” in favor of the one. He makes Augustus Caesar the exemplar in Divine Comedy. The Holy Roman Emperor, Henry VII of Luxemburg is his modern counterpart in De Monarchia.

ABSTRACT: The Papal Revolution was the most significant historical pivot point of the last 1,000 years, second only to the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ in the past 2,000 years. The Papal Revolution of 1075-1122 followed hard on the heels of the Norman Invasion of 1066. If we don’t understand what happened at Canossa just prior to the Papal Revolution of 1075, we simply cannot understand the history of Western Civilization. If you don’t fully grasp the significance of the Papal Revolution, then you have no historical reference point. You have no historiographical North Star to understand what’s going on

ABSTRACT: Alfred the Great played a crucial role in shaping the legal landscape of the early medieval period in England. Alfred established a restitutionary legal system, based on a verbatim copy of the Mosaic covenant from Exodus 20-23. He and his heirs reigned for the better part of two centuries leading up to the Anglo defeat at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Here we examine his legal reforms, the principles underlying his approach, the institutions he put in place, and the enduring legacy of his kingdom. Alfred the Great’s Restitutionary Legal System To comprehend the legal contributions of Alfred the

ABSTRACT: Dante’s inferno is an epic, medieval allegory of both the journey of a soul toward God and a commentary on mankind’s ultimate political salvation. On the personal level Dante describes a system of salvation by works righteousness apart from faith in Christ. On the political level he calls for a return to the Pax Romana of an ancient Empire ruled by a benevolent dictator named Caesar Augustus. I. The Savior State of the Roman Beast Dante’s great allegory, The Divine Comedy, calls for a one-world empire under a savior state. The Holy Roman Empire would rule city and church. According

ABSTRACT: The Divine Comedy genre is Epic Poetry written by Dante Aleghieri in 1321 to promote political salvation by returning to a benevolent dictator such as Caesar Augustus. To better understand it, we might consider our own situation in 21st Century America. We are ruled by a government that talks about peace, but provokes endless strife around the world. All in the name of defending Democracy. It’s to the point where the only option we have for relief from the judgment that God is bringing upon America is a return to the original Book of the Covenant given to Moses in

ABSTRACT: Milton seeks to answer the question of Theodicy and the existence of evil. The dictionary definition of theodicy is the vindication of divine goodness and providence in view of the existence of evil. This is a major theme in Paradise Lost as Milton seeks to sound the depths of the good purpose of a sovereign God in allowing the fall of man. The epic poem Paradise Lost, was written by John Milton between 1658 and 1663. Milton had become blind in 1652, so the poem was dictated to a friend. In the prologue, Milton invokes the Muse of Astronomy, stating
