Politics According To The Bible

Just got my copy of Wayne Grudem's new book...


This book has over 600 pages and covers a wide range of topics including worldview, the protection of life, marriage, family, economics, the environment, national defense, and foreign policy.  Additionally, he addresses many specific issues as well including abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, gun control, and taxes.  If you would like to view your political issue through the lens of Scripture then this is the source for you.

Grudem begins his book with what he considers five wrong views about Christians and Government.  I list them here:

  1. Government should compel religion.
  2. Government should exclude religion.
  3. All government is evil and demonic.
  4. Do evangelism, not politics.
  5. Do politics, not evangelism.
I have found Grudem's previous writings to be clear and well thought out.  Based on that, I recommend this book as a source on understanding today's political issues in Light of Scripture.
