Book excerpt: "While appearing to support conflict, the Bible has been fundamental to the entire constitution of international order. Not only human security and peacekeeping, but foreign aid, environmental stewardship, and other such key issues have all been rooted in the biblical ideas of justice. These have shaped the early articulation of international order, of the 'just and durable peace' envisioned after World War II, having a decisive influence on the constitution of the United Nations and its approach to peace and diplomacy. The purpose of this publication is therefore to highlight the role that the Bible can play in international affairs and governance." --

Download or read book Democracy and the Ten Commandments written by Robert Kimball Shinkoskey and published by . This book was released on 1916 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation For 2,000 years Western culture has leaned heavily on the Ten Commandments for guidance in religion, ethics, and morality. The author, drawing upon modern Biblical science, demonstrates that those laws were designed for an entirely different purpose--to provide alternatives to repressive policies Israel reeled under in Egypt. The Decalogue is a political document designed to limit government intrusion into private lives. Its precepts deal with matters like political parties and intellectual freedom, central banking and taxation, occupational choice, free economy, humane working conditions, local government, right to life and international relations, land possession and inheritance, equal justice and education, and citizenship and public health. The author's interpretation necessitates a wholesale repositioning of Biblical religion. The Bible is not a book about religious worship, but is rather a book about citizen-empowered local democracy. This essay suggests a way out of the woods for an American democracy that has lost its way in a headlong veer toward heavy-handed central government. ""Robert Shinkoskey is on a mission to rescue from privatized piety what Orthodox Jewish theologian Pinchas Lapide calls the 'theopolitical dynamite' in the biblical poetic narratives. Like any classic, the Bible's epic moral vision has perpetual relevance, and Shinkoskey applies it directly to contemporary national and international politics.""--Daniel C. Maguire, Professor, Marquette University; Author, Christianity Without God: Moving Beyond the Dogmas and Retrieving the Epic Moral Narrative Robert Kimball Shinkoskey is the author of books in theology (Do My Prophets No Harm), Near East history (Biblical Captivity), the American presidency (The American Kings), and now ancient constitutional law. He is a graduate of Stanford University, a long-time state government worker in Utah, and a promoter of employee wellness programs.

Book excerpt: A 'kingdom' is a group of people ruled by one person, the 'king', who makes all the laws himself without their votes or approval. The concept is anathema to contemporary democracy and its confidence in government by the people, the naive assumption that majorities will always get it right. History does not encourage optimism. There have been more bad kings than good, even in God's chosen people Israel. Behind our world's problems, which baffle our finest politicians and philosophers, lies a fundamental, racial and fatal error of having chosen the wrong king. Born into his kingdom, he has deceived us into thinking we can each of us be our own kingdom, inevitably clashing with each other, as individuals or nations. The only solution is to find the right king and become his loyal citizens. One day all other kingdoms will be shaken to pieces but this will remain, for ever. Only then will the conflict, in which every one of us is involved, be resolved.

Book excerpt: From the expulsion of Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the drama of the Scopes Trial, Don McEvoy takes us on an exciting journey through the history of America's struggle to find a solution to the question of the interaction between religion and the development of public policy. Three centuries of debate come alive through a series of letters to citizens of the 21st century from the participants in these historic events. The letters may be fictional, but they are authentic restatements of the ideas and arguments of proponents on both sides of every disagreement. The claims, assertions and allegations are as current as today's newspaper and next year's session of the Supreme Court. Is America a Christian nation? Is the "separation of Church and State" in the Constitution? Can a nation exist without recognition of the Sovereignty of God? Should tax money be used to support social programs and charities of religious institutions? Is the employment of Chaplains a violation of the First Amendment? Who decides what is taught in the public schools? Roger Williams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Horace Mann, William Jennings Bryan, Horace Greeley, Clarence Darrow and 37 other American leaders, both liberal and conservative, secular and religious, are right inside the pages of this book waiting to share their ideas with you.

Download or read book Democracy Killed Jesus written by Ken Dill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians today feel that America is turning its back on God. Recent social issues have continually moved in the direction opposite of traditional Christian values. Most blame these developments on their leaders, hoping that if only the right person is elected this movement away from God will cease and we will return to the fundamental values from which this country has been founded. However, the problem is not with any of our leaders. The problem lies with the very form of government in which this country is founded: democracy. America is not a Christian country and it never was one, simply because of the government system that runs it. Democracy despite its near universal praise in the the western world by both secular and Christian parties is an institution that is fundamentally incompatible with the tenants of Christianity. An idea originally developed by the pagan Greeks, democracy at its core promotes ideas antithetical to the Christian values of humbleness, obedience and piety. The purpose of this work is to shed light on the ways democracy is not sanctioned by the Bible and how it ultimately promotes behavior that is not proscribed by God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book dedicates itself to the rise and fall of the democratic way of the country we call the U.S.A., the research on its beginning, and the way that I think it will fall by the wayside. It closely resembles the teachings of the Bible, as we believe how the world is and how it will end. This is an anthology on the society of governments as I interpret it. First, it represents a wide range of alternative versionsright, left, middle, and unorthodox. Second, it includes a sampling of key thinkers in the differing logical traditions, old and new alike. Third, this anthology of society modernizes the prose of thinkers long dead. Fourth, and finally, it expresses my political thinking of what is going to happen. I feel a powerful nostalgia for the time when democracy existed without any remorse. Such nostalgia, in fact, will continue to fuel competition and conflict until the end of time. Perhaps the very prospect of nostalgia and boredom will end history, and will serve to get history started once again the right way. I attempt to cover the broad canvas of contemporary political societies of liberalism, conservatism, or any other ism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christ and the Common Life Luke Bretherton provides an introduction to historical and contemporary theological reflection on politics and opens up a compelling vision for a Christian commitment to democracy. In dialogue with Scripture and various traditions, Bretherton examines the dynamic relationship between who we are in relation to God and who we are as moral and political animals. He addresses fundamental political questions about poverty and injustice, forming a common life with strangers, and handling power constructively. And through his analysis of debates concerning, among other things, race, class, economics, the environment, and interfaith relations, he develops an innovative political theology of democracy as a way through which Christians can speak and act faithfully within our current context. Read as a whole, or as stand-alone chapters, the book guides readers through the political landscape and identifies the primary vocabulary, ideas, and schools of thought that shape Christian reflection on politics in the West. Ideal for the classroom, Christ and the Common Life equips students to understand politics and its positive and negative role in fostering neighbor love.

Download or read book The Beginning of Politics written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Samuel is universally acknowledged as one of the supreme achievements of biblical literature. Yet the book's anonymous author was more than an inspired storyteller. The author was also an uncannily astute observer of political life and the moral compromises and contradictions that the struggle for power inevitably entails. The Beginning of Politics mines the story of Israel's first two kings to unearth a natural history of power, providing a forceful new reading of what is arguably the first and greatest work of Western political thought. Moshe Halbertal and Stephen Holmes show how the beautifully crafted narratives of Saul and David cut to the core of politics, exploring themes that resonate wherever political power is at stake. Through stories such as Saul's madness, David's murder of Uriah, the rape of Tamar, and the rebellion of Absalom, the book's author deepens our understanding not only of the necessity of sovereign rule but also of its costs--to the people it is intended to protect and to those who wield it. What emerges from the meticulous analysis of these narratives includes such themes as the corrosive grip of power on those who hold and compete for power; the ways in which political violence unleashed by the sovereign on his own subjects is rooted in the paranoia of the isolated ruler and the deniability fostered by hierarchical action through proxies; and the intensity with which the tragic conflict between political loyalty and family loyalty explodes when the ruler's bloodline is made into the guarantor of the all-important continuity of sovereign power.--
