Descriere Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture - Wayne A. Grudem

This comprehensive political philosophy argues for Christian involvement based on biblical teachings and a Christian world view. The resource covers more than 50 specific issues relating to protection of life, marriage, family, economics, environment, national defense, internationalism, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. \n \nShould Christians be involved in political issues?\n \nThis comprehensive and readable book presents a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel pertains to all of life, including politics. Politics--According to the Bible is an in-depth analysis of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense.\n \nEvangelical Bible professor, and author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem unpacks and rejects five common views about Christian influence on politics: \n \n- compel religion, \n- exclude religion, \n- all government is demonic, \n- do evangelism, not politics, and \n- do politics, not evangelism. \nInstead, he defends a position of significant Christian influence on government and explains the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of good or bad governments. Grudem provides a thoughtful analysis of over fifty specific and current political issues dealing with: \n \n- The protection of life. \n- Marriage, the family, and children. \n- Economic issues and taxation. \n- The environment. \n- National defense \n- Relationships to other nations. \n- Freedom of speech and religion. \n- Quotas. \n- And special interests. \nThroughout this book, he makes frequent application to the current policies of the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States, but the principles discussed here are relevant for any nation.\n
