Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft (Christian Worldview Integration Series)

4.20 out of 5 stars

Description

This series is designed to help Christian students and faculty think critically and Christianly about their discipline, and to engage the culture around them. The pursuit of justice and the art of governance have long been intertwined with the concept of citizenship. As Christians navigate the complexities of political engagement, they are often met with controversy and debate. However, as Francis Beckwith astutely argues, Christians possess a rich intellectual heritage that not only equips them to contribute meaningfully to public policy but also imposes a moral imperative to do so. Beckwith tackles the contentious issue of whether religious citizens should compartmentalize their beliefs when entering the public arena. He explores pivotal questions, including the proper role of religious citizens in a liberal democracy, the delicate balance between church and state, and the place of natural rights and moral law within a secular society. This incisive introduction to political thought delves into the realms of political science and governance, making a compelling case for the symbiotic relationship between statecraft and soulcraft. As part of The Christian Worldview Integration Series, Politics for Christians provides a nuanced exploration of the intersections between faith and learning. This series, edited by J. P. Moreland and Francis J. Beckwith, seeks to foster a deeper integration of Christian principles and academic disciplines, including education, psychology, literature, politics, science, communications, biology, philosophy, and history. Each volume aims to illuminate the implications of a Christian worldview for its respective field, while providing a comprehensive introduction to the discipline. By engaging with these critical issues, Christian students and faculty can develop a more thoughtful and Christian approach to their field of study, ultimately enriching their engagement with the world around them.
