This book presents an intensive study on Christian Communities and Civil Authorities in Romans and Philippians. The linguistic and historical method employed in this book helps to unravel the original meaning of some key terminologies used by Paul. The observations made in the exegesis of Rom 13:1-7 and Phil 3:20-21 open the way up to read and understand these two texts in relation to the time and context of the first readers. The hermeneutical section, which focuses on the social, religious and political context of readers in an African context, shows that it is only through true democracy that civil authorities can manage to maintain peace and justice in society.
