Coming on the heels of the recent Republican debate, Americans are once again animated by the issues that affect their lives and the prospect for a better future. As members of this republic we are all involved and responsible for what happens in this nation, what laws are passed, and what policies are adopted that enhance “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Christians happily engage in politics and are concerned about the direction the country is headed, especially when it comes to moral issues. However, there appears to be an increasing number of churches that are confused about the role faith plays in politics. On this episode of the Apologetics.com, we try to answer the question: What role does faith play in politics? We also engage the topic of whether there is any virtue in voting for the lesser of two evils; why it’s legitimate to include the subject of politics in the art and science of Christian Apologetics.
