Theology Vs. Politics

Theology Vs. Politics

A Bibliography of Resources

I have always appreciated those scholars who have created a bibliography of resources for further research. I am creating a bibliography that points ministers and church leaders of various levels to materials that aid in the discussion of Theology and Politics. The church should not be relegated to silence, but must speak with intelligence regarding a biblical world-view and how governments play a significant role within the fabric of our cultures. The genesis of this list comes from Dr. Wayne Grudem, my Theology Professor from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His book is listed below, “Politics According To The Bible.”
