What if no king is truly above the law?
In this deep dive into Lex Rex (1644), Scottish theologian Samuel Rutherford makes a bold biblical argument: the law is king—not the king himself. Written during a time of political upheaval, this classic work challenges absolute monarchy and lays a foundation for constitutional government rooted in Scripture.
In this video, we break down:
The 10 key principles of Lex Rex What the Bible teaches about government authority (Romans 13, Deuteronomy 17, 2 Samuel 5) Why rulers must be accountable to God and the people The biblical case for resisting tyranny How these ideas shaped the modern West 🇺🇸
If you’re interested in Reformed theology, Christian political thought, or the relationship between church and state, this video will sharpen your understanding.
