Download Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture AudioBook Free
A number of perspectives can be found within the Christian community as it pertains to political issues and political involvement. This detailed and listenable booklet presents a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel concerns all of life - so Christians should be involved in political issues. In simple, this can be an analysis of conservative and liberal ideas to do best for the nation, assessed in light of the Bible and common sense. On this ground-breaking book, accepted evangelical Bible professor 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 evangelism, not politics", and (5) "do politics, not evangelism". He proposes an improved option: (6) "significant Christian influence on federal government". Then he talks about the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil federal government and the characteristics of good or bad federal government. Does indeed the Bible support some type of democracy? Should judges and the courts hold the ultimate power? With respect to specific political issues, Grudem argues that most people's views depend on deep-seated assumptions about several basic moral and even theological questions, such as whether God is out there, whether complete moral specifications can be known, whether there is good and bad in each person's heart and soul, whether people should be in charge of their bad and the good options, whether property should belong to individuals or to society, and if the purpose of the earth's resources is to bring gain to mankind. After handling these foundational questions, Grudem provides a thoughtful, carefully reasoned evaluation of over 50 specific issues working with the coverage of life, matrimony, the family and children, economic issues and taxation, the surroundings, national defense, romantic relationships to other countries, freedom of speech and religious beliefs, quotas, and special passions.
