Crenshaw is also asserting a distinction between "public" and "private" moral ordering that is largely meaningless in a New Testament context.
Peter - Matt. 22:21; Mark 12:17; Luke 20:25? Seems to suggest the duties of the state may not perfectly overlap with private moral duties. Cf. also Acts 5:27-30, but also Romans 13:1-7.

I don't think accepting the existence of state powers and the theoretical legitimacy of their authority - and the idea that CHRISTIANS would exercise that authority is impossibly remote to the NT - is the same as operating within anything like a modern public-private framework.

In the context of 1st cent. Judaea, the Temple itself quite directly wielded power through the Sanhedrin. They come off poorly in the gospels. The efforts of the Pharisees to institutionalize and legally codify temple donations (e.g. Matt 23:16-24) also come off quite poorly.
