Politics - According to the Bible

A variety of perspectives exist within the Christian community when it comes to political issues and political involvement. This comprehensive and readable book presents a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel pertains to all of life so Christians should be involved in political issues. In brief, this is an analysis of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense. In this ground-breaking book, recognized evangelical Bible professor Wayne Grudem rejects five mistaken views about Christian influence on politics: (1) 'compel religion,' (2) 'exclude religion,' (3) 'all government is demonic,' (4) 'do evangel-ism, not politics,' and (5) 'do politics, not evangelism.' He proposes a better alternative: (6) 'significant Christian influence on government.' Then he explains the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of good or bad government. Does the Bible support some form of democracy? Should judges and the courts hold the ultimate power in a nation? With respect to specific political issues, Grudem argues that most people's political views depend on deep-seated assump-tions about several basic moral and even theological questions, such as whether God exists, whether absolute moral stan-dards can be known, whether there is good and evil in each person's heart, whether people should be accountable for their good and bad choices, whether property should belong to individuals or to society, and whether the purpose of the earth's resources is to bring benefit to mankind. After addressing these foundational questions, Grudem provides a thoughtful, carefully-reasoned analysis of over fifty specific issues dealing with the protection of life, marriage, the family and children, economic issues and taxation, the environment, national defense, relationships to other nations, freedom of speech and religion, quotas, and special interests. He makes frequent application to the current policies of the Democratic and Republi-can parties in the United States, but the principles discussed here are relevant for any nation.

Business zur Ehre Gottes: Die biblische Lehre über die Möglichkeit, Gott als Unternehmer zu verherrl

Kann Business an sich moralisch gut und gottgefällig sein? Manchmal erscheint Business so zwielichtig - Endergebnisse werden manipuliert, Verbraucher werden getäuscht, oder jemand wird befördert, nur weil er Beziehungen hat. Wayne Grudem stellt ein neues Konzept vor: Business selbst verherrlicht Gott, wenn es auf eine Weise betrieben wird, die Gottes Charakter und Schöpfung nachahmt. Er zeigt, dass alle Aspekte des Business, einschließlich der Themen Eigentum, Gewinn, Geld, Wettbewerb sowie Kreditaufnahme und -vergabe, Gott verherrlichen, weil sie Gottes Wesen widerspiegeln. Obwohl Grudem nicht naiv ist und weiß, wie leicht diese Aktivitäten pervertiert und als Mittel zur Sünde benutzt werden können, ist er überzeugt, dass Christen die Businesswelt nicht scheuen sollten. Dieses biblisch fundierte Buch ist ein durchdachter Leitfaden zur Nachahmung Gottes im Umgang mit Kunden, Kollegen, Mitarbeitern und anderen Unternehmen. Sehen Sie, wie Ihr Business - und Ihr Leben im Business - der Ehre Gottes gewidmet werden kann.

Business for the Glory of God: The Bible's Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business

Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes business can seem so shady-manipulating the bottomline, deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know. But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature. Though Grudem isn't naive about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows that Christians can be about the business of business. This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. See how your business, and your life in business can be dedicated to God's glory.

"Free Grace" Theology: 5 Ways It Diminishes the Gospel

What does real, saving faith actually entail? The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the need for repentance from sin and accompanying good works as evidence of true belief. However, as theologian Wayne Grudem argues in this book, the teachings of the Free Grace movement-which deny that good works need to be present in the life of the justified Christian-undermine the Bible's teaching regarding saving faith. Drawing from the works of key leaders within the movement, Grudem raises five biblical concerns he has with the Free Grace movement and critiques its central teachings from Scripture and historic Protestantism. In doing so, he helps all Christians understand the true nature of saving faith.
