Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture Overviews

A variety of perspectives exist within the Christian society when it comes to political issues and political involvement. This unabridged and readable book presents a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel pertains to all of life so Christians should be complicated in political issues. In brief, this is an determination of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense. In this ground-breaking book, recognized evangelical Bible professor Wayne Grudem rejects five mistaken views about Christian affect on politics: (1) 'compel religion,' (2) 'exclude religion,' (3) 'all government is demonic,' (4) 'do evangel-ism, not politics,' and (5) 'do politics, not evangelism.' He proposes a great alternative: (6) 'significant Christian affect on government.' Then he explains the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of good or bad government. Does the Bible hold some form of democracy? Should judges and the courts hold the extreme power in a nation? With respect to exact political issues, Grudem argues that most people's political views depend on deep-seated assump-tions about some basic moral and even theological questions, such as either God exists, either absolute moral stan-dards can be known, either there is good and evil in each person's heart, either population should be accountable for their good and bad choices, either asset should belong to individuals or to society, and either the purpose of the earth's resources is to bring benefit to mankind. After addressing these foundational questions, Grudem provides a thoughtful, carefully-reasoned determination of over fifty exact issues dealing with the security of life, marriage, the family and children, economic issues and taxation, the environment, national defense, relationships to other nations, free time of speech and religion, quotas, and extra interests. He makes frequent application to the current policies of the Democratic and Republi-can parties in the United States, but the theory discussed here are relevant for any nation.
