I wouldn’t consider myself a true student of American history, but even I am familiar with Samuel Adams and The Sons of Liberty instigating the Boston Tea Party. Americans took courage from their act and three years later, our Declaration of Independence from England was born. Historians describe such an act as civil disobedience. Well, if there is such a similar act in the New Testament, it’s found in Acts 5.
