  • サマリー

  • Summary

    In this conversation, Christina Wallace and Dominick Baruffi explore the intersection of Christianity and political discourse, emphasising the importance of engaging with politics from a biblical perspective. They discuss the nature of politics as a good, the role of governance in Scripture, and the challenges of anti-intellectualism and jargon in contemporary discussions. The conversation highlights the need for Christians to actively participate in political life while maintaining a focus on love and understanding, rather than retreating into isolation or apathy.

    * Jargon can hinder deep thinking and understanding.

    * “Love your neighbour” must be defined in context.

    * Isolation is a tactic of the enemy.
