A Marxist Interpretation of Church Leadership: Romans 13:17 is a study of Romans 13: 1-7 from a Marxist perspective. Romans13:1-7 introduce the concept of obedience to civil authorities. As a result, obedience has become an integral part of Western culture, and may be the cultural foundation of how capitalism can manage, control and direct people. Romans13:1-7 have persuaded many Christians, including priests, bishops and other representatives of the Church, to obey Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and other tyrants and despots. Today, Romans 13:1-7 are used as an argument in support of the death penalty. In this way, Jesus’s message of love has become, by means of seven simple verses in Paul’s epistles, an argument that is used to support killing people. The purpose of this book is to get to grips with the Pauline impulse from a Marxist perspective. This is an historic impulse that has oppressed and excluded people, and created an intolerant version of Christianity. It has also established obedience as a fundamental principle in Western culture, and thereby enhanced capitalism.
