We have featured James Baird here before. He is the author of “King of Kings“; and is interviewed here with Pastor Rob Pacienza of Coral Ridge Church in Florida. Both men come from a conservative Presbyterian tradition; but this excellent discussion is applicable to all biblical Christians. There is frequent mention of the American founding. Baird discusses once again what theology teaches about how we should approach politics:
What if our understanding of Christianity and politics is fundamentally flawed?
King of Kings is the result of needing to rethink political theology in recent years. In it, James Baird presents a bold and compelling case for a radical proposition: that government must promote Christianity as the only true religion.
Drawing from Scripture, the Reformed confessions, and the insights of the American Founders, this concise but powerful primer offers a clear and urgent call to Christians.
I really enjoyed the book, Fred. It shatters many misconceptions within the church. Here’s hoping it makes a difference!
