Colson and Sphere Sovereignty

I find the doctrine of Sphere Sovereignty very useful in building a biblical social theory. It is also very helpful in hermeneutics and apologetics. Many non-Christians throw "eye for an eye" and "love your enemies" in our faces, and we often lack the quick and appropriate response: Sphere Sovereignty.

When I introduce Sphere Sovereignty to a new group of believers, I sometimes get confused and suspicious looks. The idea is so strange, yet so comprehensive and helpful, that perhaps people think I invented the doctrine myself!

These links are put here as a simple reminder that I did not create the doctrine of Sphere Sovereignty, nor am I the only modern Christian to find something of value in the concept.

Enjoy!
