Politics according to the Bible, ch. 17

Taking a republican bent toward things, Grudem seeks to ground his political views in Scripture. I found myself uncomfortable with his statement that "I have concluded in most of the preceding chapters that the policies endorsed by the leadership of the Republican Party have been much more consistent with biblical teachings." I don't disagree with him, but I am still uncomfortable. I think it is perhaps because each party is so fluid. Democrats of today are vastly different than those of 50 years ago.

In many ways, this chapter is merely a review of the whole book to this point. Grudem powers through a number of issues explaining why he takes the particular stance he does on each one. I appreciated the fact that he was owning his position; makes me wish he was a politician!
