Lord of the Conscience is a full-fledged scriptural defense of the principles of religious liberty. It provides a Biblical answer to the establishment principle on the one hand (the belief that the civil government is to establish, sponsor, and promote the true church and suppress all others) and the Anabaptist heresy, that there is no such thing as Christian civil government on the other hand. It also provides an answer to the Theonomist viewpoint that the Sinaitic Covenant is still binding on the nations and that the civil, judicial, and theocratic laws of Israel are to be enforced by the civil magistrate today.
It also includes a chapter on the United States Constitution and religious liberty and its misunderstanding and misapplication by Christian conservatives today. It shows the confused thinking of many, who selectively interpret the Constitution, and flip-flop on their interpretation of it depending on whose ox is being gored. It shows that the original United States Constitution did not establish religious liberty and neither does a strict construction of the current one.
