    George Buchanan

    What do you think of this 16th century Scotsman and his political views? I just read his book De Jure Regni Apud Scotos; The Rights of the Crown in Scotland. I think he influenced Rutherford?

    Here's an online version of The Rights of the Crown: http://www.constitution.org/cmt/buch...wers_crown.htm

    "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. " Mk 9:24
    "The greatest thing we can desire, next to the glory of God, is our own salvation; and the sweetest thing we can desire is the assurance of our salvation. In this life we cannot get higher than to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed. All saints shall enjoy a heaven when they leave this earth; some saints enjoy a heaven while they are here on earth." Joseph Caryl

    George Buchanan was one of the heroes of the Reformed Faith. His contribution to a right understanding of civil magistracy is invaluable.
