Buku Introduction to Political Science: A Christian Perspective – Fred Van Geest

• Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Top Shelf Book Cover Award 2017

We  are political beings and our lives are shaped by political  institutions. Being a good citizen involves understanding these  institutions and how they can be used to promote the common good.  Christians further believe these institutions are integral to God’s  created order, intended by God to promote justice and help people  flourish. Christians thus have good reason to be informed about  political science as they seek to be ambassadors for Christ in a diverse  society.Introduction to Political Science: A Christian Perspective  is an accessible guide to the study of politics. Written for students  who may not have any prior knowledge about political life, this textbook  provides a nonpartisan introduction to the key concepts, institutions,  and policies that shape politics today. Fred Van Geest draws on a  variety of sources and examples to present a balanced Christian  perspective on political science. Christians, he argues, are called to  engage in political action in order to advance public justice, even  though full shalom is ultimately the work of God alone.IVP Instructor Resources include an Instructor’s Guide and Student’s Study Guide.
