Politics according to the Bible, ch. 4

Grudem has the broadly stated "Biblical Worldview" as his aim for this chapter. He structures it around the following:

God created everything

The one true God reveals Himself and His moral standards clearly in the Bible

The original creation was 'very good'

Because Adam and Eve sinned, there is moral evil in the heart of every human being

Because Adam and Eve sinned, God placed a curse on the entire natural world

God wants human beings to develop the Earth's resources and to use them wisely and joyfully

I appreciate this chapter as it lays a foundation for thinking about government and politics. It rightfully sets our hearts and minds in a Biblical framework before moving onto specific issues.
