Church and state Quote by R. Alan Streett

Download Open image
““Some NT commentators view Jesus predominantly as a religious figure with little or no concern about the politics and culture of his day. Such an interpretation results when one anachronistically presupposes that the idea of separation between church and state existed during NT times. The first-century Roman world had no such concept or custom. Religion and politics, whether Roman or Jewish, were interwoven into a single fabric.””
