Michael A. Milton is a pastor, educator, veteran, and Southern storyteller who writes at the crossroads of faith, freedom, and public life. Having served both church and academy--from church planter and Army chaplain to seminary president and chancellor--Milton retired as Distinguished Professor of Missions and Evangelism. He is President of The D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership, under whose banner this series is published. His work calls the church--and the nation--back to first principles.
""Whether in the pulpit, with a paint brush, or with his pen, Mike Milton's talents as a communicator are unsurpassed. Here his reflections on Rutherford effectively communicate the reality that politics is the exercise of Providence by rulers who fundamentally need the accountability of the people. In an era when this truth needs fresh articulation, Milton rises to the occasion and abundantly delivers in his timely look at a timeless book."" --Pete Sniffin, Professor of Chaplaincy Studies, Birmingham Theological Seminary ""In our politically fractured culture, Mike Milton has sounded the call to re-prioritize the rule of law for our common good. With his explication of Samuel Rutherford's Lex Rex, Dr. Milton reminds us of Rutherford's assertion that healthful democracy never rests on any single person or governmental position but on adhering to a scriptural understanding of the relationship between law and freedom; only this secures genuine political rights. I most enthusiastically commend this important work!"" --Timothy S. Mallard, author of Moral and Spiritual Injury in War: Russo-Ukraine, Israel-Iran, and Beyond
