Politics According to the Bible with Dr. Wayne Grudem Encore | The Good Citizen Podcast

Dr. Wayne Grudem is a theologian and prolific writer perhaps best known for his book Systematic Theology and his work on Christian ethics. But he also wrote Politics According to the Bible (http://www.waynegrudem.com/politics-a... more than 600-page comprehensive resource on the application of faith in public life. I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Grudem about Christian citizenship and the future of the American republic in 2022 before he retired from his public speaking ministry, and recent events brought this interview back to mind. I have noticed a scarcity of Biblical resources for discipleship in the area of citizenship, and this book and discussion are an important and comprehensive guide to the political arena according to a Biblical worldview.

Dr. Wayne Grudem is Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary (http://ps.edu/) in Arizona. He is a graduate of Harvard (BA), Westminster Seminary-Philadelphia (MDiv, DD), and the University of Cambridge (PhD). He has served as the president of the Evangelical Theological Society (1999). He has written more than 20 books, including Systematic Theology, The Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament and Today, Business for the Glory of God, Politics According to the Bible, and (with Barry Asmus) The Poverty of Nations: A Sustainable Solution. He also co-edited (with John Piper) Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.
