The Bible calls us to be good citizens who love God and love our neighbour – how does that affect how we vote?People say that religion and politics shouldn’t mix, but God has a lot to say about how we live together. Politics touches many things in our lives, and so, as Christians, we should examine our political beliefs in the light of what God says.
Challenging us not to bury our heads in the sand, Joshua Wester encourages young adults to view politics through the lens of their Christian faith, and to test their beliefs against the Bible. This short guide tackles crucial topics that young adults should be thinking about as they think about politics, get involved in conversations and play their part as a member of society.
Equipping young people with biblical perspectives and practicalities, Wester enables and equips young people to actively engage with the political process and make a difference.
