EiC: Old Testament Wisdom and Politics

Politics is an important part of all of our lives, whether we choose to engage with it or not, and it can be a wonderful field of service of the LORD Christ and of people. As a look around our world demonstrates, politics often goes wrong, and when it does, we all suffer. In a year of elections that involve nearly half of the world’s population, it is an important time to consider whether and how we should engage.

The book of Proverbs orients us towards politics in all sorts of illuminating ways. While it is by no means easy to apply what we read there to contemporary political issues, Craig’s newest article for Ethics in Conversation offers excellent guidance in doing so and a wealth of insights to guide us in our political involvement.
