A Christian Attitude to the State – An Indian Perspective

Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 8 (2):6-11 (1991)

Abstract

Three traditions have influenced the idea of the state in India – the Hindu Rajah, the Islamic View and the European Secular State. From biblical and theological considerations, Christians must reject the totalism and ego-centrism of modern states and work for greater accountability and decentralised decision-making.
