With heartfelt gratitude to God, We had the blessed privilege of releasing the book authored by Dr. C. P. Thomas, titled “Policing in the Bible with Special Reference to People in Authority and Christian Ministry”, with a meaningful foreword by Dr. Theodosius Mar Thoma Metropolitan, in the esteemed presence of Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Mar Ivanios Episcopa, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest.
Dr. C. P. Thomas is a distinguished personality who has served with dedication and integrity in the field of policing and public service. His professional life, marked by discipline, justice, and a deep sense of responsibility, reflects not only his commitment to civil duty but also the strength of his Christian faith. At the same time, he remains actively rooted in the life of the Church, contributing through his reflections, writings, and faithful witness. His life beautifully demonstrates that spiritual depth and secular responsibility can go hand in hand.
📖 About the Book:
This book is a profound and timely reflection on how biblical principles of justice, righteousness, accountability, and compassion relate to those who exercise authority both in society and in Christian ministry. Drawing from Scripture as well as his rich professional experience, Dr. Thomas explains how authority is a responsibility entrusted by God, and how it must be exercised with integrity, humility, and fairness.
The book gives valuable insights into:
• The biblical understanding of justice and order
• The role and responsibility of people in authority
• Ethical leadership and moral accountability
• The relevance of these principles in Christian ministry and public service
It is not just a book for those in policing or administration, but for all who are called to leadership, service, and responsible living in society. It challenges and encourages readers to reflect on how faith must shape both personal life and public responsibility.
Dr. Thomas’s strong family values, deep faith, and meaningful contributions to both Church and society together form a living testimony that deserves appreciation. In a time when many struggle to balance faith and profession, his life stands as an inspiring example that it is indeed possible to remain spiritually rooted while actively engaging in the world.
