Study

The Bible contains all we need for salvation and sanctification and so how are we to study it to make sense of the political world we inhabit, our political hopes and dreams, and how we live in the 'now' whilst we await the 'not yet' of Christ's coming Kingdom? These resources exist to help you think through these questions and get used to applying the Bible to your politics rather than the other way around.
