Autocracy

Description

Autocracy: Satan’s Preferred Governance
Decisions That Try Our Faith Series — Book 4

Autocracy is more than a political system—it is a spiritual counterfeit of God’s design for just leadership. In Autocracy: Satan’s Preferred Governance, Bishop Dr. Eric L. Douglass Sr. offers a sweeping biblical, historical, and theological analysis of autocracy, demonstrating how its very structure reflects Satan’s desire for domination, deception, and rebellion against God.

In this volume, readers will discover:

• The Nature of Autocracy — what sets it apart from dictatorship, totalitarianism, and authoritarianism.

• Biblical Accounts — Pharaohs of Egypt, Babylonian kings, and other rulers as early examples of centralized power.

• Historical Development — from Nebuchadnezzar to Napoleon, Stalin, and the Kim dynasty.

• Theological Critique — how autocratic doctrines directly oppose biblical principles of justice, equality, and participatory governance.

• Satan’s Governance Style — understanding how autocracy mirrors the adversary’s rebellion and his quest for absolute control.

• Christian Engagement — how believers should respond to autocratic systems today, drawing from Scripture and church history.

Dr. Douglass contrasts autocracy with democracy, showing why collective accountability and justice better align with biblical values. He challenges readers to see governance not as a mere political debate but as a battleground for spiritual integrity.

This book is an essential resource for pastors, leaders, students, and believers wrestling with how faith and governance intersect. It equips the Church to discern deception, resist authoritarian allure, and remain faithful to Christ in an age when autocracy rises again.
