Government of God

President John Taylor was both articulate and insightful in his writing. While close to Joseph Smith during the Prophet's lifetime as well as at his death, many of President Taylor's teachings were gleaned directly from him. In this classic work, the governments of the world are examined and compared to both Biblical and latter-day prophecies of an ideal Christ-centered government. His thesis was that once understanding the Lord's millennial government, we could better measure the governments and laws currently governing us. Accountability for governmental stewardships is emphasized, as is the role of the Church in laying the foundations for the eventual reign of Jesus Christ.
