| Publisher Description: Not only are the actual political debates increasingly hostile affairs, but debates on our own Facebook walls, at the watercooler or around the dinner table can go from thoughtful discussions to angry shouting matches without much warning. Politics are polarizing because the different opinions about the role of government and application of laws run such a wide--and impassioned--spectrum of beliefs and philosophy. Thankfully, for Christians, the Bible isn't silent on the issues either. This book explores what the Bible says about how we are called to engage with the world politically, what we are instructed to look for in leaders, and how we can bring the love of God to a broken and fallen world through the way we approach politics. How can Christians live out God's greatest two commandments through our approach to politics? What type of political discourse could bring people to Jesus? How do we balance the person we are voting for and the platform they represent? What issues did Jesus spend the vast majority of his time teaching on? How can we base our political beliefs on a foundation of grace and love? As followers of Jesus, we were never meant to find our home in a single political party. Our identity should be rooted firmly in Christ alone. We should be politically homeless. |
