Summary:

A number of perspectives exist within the Christian community with regards to political issues and political involvement. This comprehensive and readable reserve presents a political philosophy from the perspective how the Gospel concerns all of existence so Christians ought to be involved in politics issues. In brief, this is an evaluation of traditional and liberal programs to do great for the nation, evaluated in light from the Bible and good sense.With this ground-breaking publication, recognized about Politics – Based on the Bible: A THOROUGH Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture evangelical Bible teacher Wayne Grudem rejects five mistaken views about Christian influence on politics: (1) “compel religious beliefs,” (2) “exclude religious beliefs,” (3) “all federal government is demonic,” (4) “do evangel-ism, not politics,” and (5) “do politics, not really evangelism.” He proposes a better choice: (6) “significant Christian influence on federal government.” After that he explains the Bible’s teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of great or bad federal government. Does the Bible support some type of democracy? Should judges and the courts contain the supreme power within a nation? With respect to specific politics issues, Grudem argues that a lot of people’s political views rely on deep-seated assump-tions about many basic moral as well as theological questions, such as for example whether God is available, whether absolute moral stan-dards could be known, whether there is good and wicked in each person’s heart, whether people should be in charge of their bad and the good choices, whether home should participate in individuals or even to culture, and whether the purpose of the earth’s resources is to bring benefit to mankind. After handling these foundational questions, Grudem provides a thoughtful, carefully-reasoned evaluation of over fifty specific issues dealing with the protection of lifestyle, marriage, the family and children, economic problems and taxation, the environment, national defense, associations to other countries, freedom of speech and religion, quotas, and special passions. He makes frequent application to the present policies from the Democratic and Republi-can celebrations in the United States, but the principles discussed here are relevant for any nation.
