Key concepts to cover:

  • In our own context, such rights, and institutions for vindicating them, have multiplied and this is the product of Christian civilization
  • How Christians should think about lawsuits
  • The doctrine of the “lesser magistrate” and its relevance to constitutional mechanisms of resistance
  • Just war theory as a paradigm for thinking about resisting unjust authority
  • How to think about voting
