Summary "The Government of God" by John Taylor is a theological and philosophical examination of divine governance, likely written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the contrast between the order of God's government and the chaos of human governance, contemplating the moral and spiritual dimensions of existence and man’s relationship with the divine. Central to the discussions are themes of righteousness, accountability, and the eventual establishment of God's kingdom on earth. The opening of "The Government of God" introduces the author's intentions and overarching themes. It begins with a preface that reveals Taylor's aim to address the most cherished beliefs of his audience—those relating to the reign of righteousness and peace. The initial chapter lays the groundwork by illustrating the harmony and wisdom inherent in God's rule over creation, contrasting it sharply with the disorder seen in human societies. Taylor emphasizes that while God's governance is marked by order and beauty, human endeavors frequently result in confusion and misery, setting the tone for a discussion that seeks to highlight the need for divine intervention in restoring harmony to the world. The text outlines the premise that recognition of one's relationship to God and understanding the nature of existence is essential for redeeming human society.
