Politics and Religion: Bringing the Kingdom of God to Earth

When I was an academic, I was exposed to a lot of anti-Christian diatribe. Christians, I was told, are corrupt, selfish, and use their faith as a political weapon. We look at the story of King Josiah in the Bible and how some think that he manipulated parts of Scripture, of our Old Testament, to suit his political purposes. We then consider what would happen, what our planet would be like if all political leaders everywhere truly lived like Christ. We also consider what our obligation is as truly sincere believers.
