<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Why should we study politics? Because God himself is political--our sovereign Lord who governs the world and makes laws with complete authority. Beyond our petty jockeying for power and our strife over how best to live, God calls our human officeholders and their civic business to a high moral purpose. Rather than trivialize God, his involvement reveals the nobility of political life--a nobility to which its practice rarely conforms in any country or generation but to which we should aspire. What are a Christian's civic responsibilities, and why? Are we thinking about politics correctly? David Innes, a professor of politics, provides a principled political theology for understanding our civic "life together" in God's world. Christ and the Kingdoms of Men will help readers to become more politically thoughtful and circumspect in their use of public authority, consciously looking to and depending on King Jesus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"What happens when a former pastor with deep training in Reformed theology, a PhD in political science from one of the most prestigious graduate programs in the country, and decades of college classroom experience writes an introductory textbook on politics? Christ and the Kingdoms of Men! This volume is the most serious work of its kind and is must reading for young men and women in need of an orientation to the politics of this world drawn from a prudent teacher who knows the difference between God's kingdom and the principalities of men.--David Corbin, Provost and Professor of Politics, Providence Christian College<br>
