EVERY NATION... UNDER GOD...

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL...

UNDER GOD’S LAW

Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He is King of kings.

Every Christian in the world believes this.

A Biblical Guide to Government, Law, and Civil Authority

What does the Bible say about government?

Christians confess that Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.

But what does that mean for nations, laws, and civil authority today?

Under God is a clear, comprehensive introduction to biblical civics—helping Christians understand government through the lens of Scripture.

A biblical worldview of government

The Bible speaks directly to authority, law, justice, and leadership.

This book equips readers to think clearly about:

The role of civil government under God
Law, liberty, and justice according to Scripture
The relationship between church and state
How Christians live as citizens in a fallen world

This is a Christ-centered, biblical worldview of government—not theory, but truth applied.

Learn from history—and respond with truth

Under God also explores:

The Christian foundations of nations
The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights
The rise of modern ideologies like Marxism and Keynesian economics
The failures of secular political systems

When nations reject God’s authority, they drift toward tyranny or chaos.

Topics include

Biblical law and civil government
Church and state
Social justice vs. God’s justice
Economics, Marx, and Keynes
Civil disobedience and political action
Leadership and character

A call to faithful engagement

Scripture commands:

“Kiss the Son, lest He be angry…” (Psalm 2:12)

As the modern secular age falters, Christians are called to stand firm.

Under God equips believers to think biblically, live faithfully, and engage the world under Christ’s authority.

Who this is for

Christian families and homeschool students
Parents teaching a biblical worldview
Pastors and church leaders
Anyone seeking a biblical understanding of government

“American culture is amidst a season of mission and vision drift. Thus, the celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding affords us an opportunity to recall the principles that made our great experiment in liberty possible in the first place. This book by Kevin Swanson is the perfect tool to help us recollect and then to course correct.”

- George Grant - Pastor of Parish Presbyterian Church, Director of the King’s Meadow Study Center, Founder of both Franklin Classical School and Bannockburn College, and Coordinator of the Chalmers Fund.

"Political theology in the American pulpit and pew is grossly neglected in our day. We need a Biblical and historical understanding of how God has delegated and regulated the affairs of civil government. This new work by Kevin Swanson is a much needed resource that will be a tremendous help for those willing to read it."

- Jared Sparks - Pastor at Christ Church Carbondale.

"1776 marked one of the most significant years in history, for that was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed and the United States was founded as a nation under God. For the 250th anniversary, however, the United States needs a strong wake up call and reminder about who the true King of the nations is. With historical precision and expert analysis, Kevin Swanson has provided that wake up call, with a thoroughly biblical “Battle Plan for Reforming Civil Government.” I highly commend this book to all Christians serious about submitting to the rule and reign of Christ."

- Jacob Tanner, Pastor of Christ Keystone Church, host of Doctrine and Dominion, and author

Kevin Swanson writes: “The God Who says, ‘You shall have no other gods before me,’ (Ex. 20:3) has been expelled.” In this comprehensive look at civil government, Swanson explains why God has been expelled from the schools, from government, and from American culture, as well as what has replaced Him. But this book is not just a critique, it is a compelling argument for a biblical worldview – all of civic life under the God who is Creator, Legislator, Ruler, and Judge. Using this worldview as his own guiding principle, Swanson describes what a godly government, foreign policy, economic system, and more would look like.
