Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Religion plays a significant role in every US<br> presidential election – and this year is no exception. The candidates on either<br> side of the aisle, and the religious leaders who back them, claim to know where<br> Jesus stands on various issues, or what the Bible says about the hottest<br> political topics. But do they?<br> <br> <br> In his latest book, ‘How Would Jesus<br> Vote?’, Professor Darrell Bock that the Bible challenges simplistic conclusions<br> to complex issues, and encourages people to engage in respectful, passionate<br> and peaceful dialogue instead.<br> <br> <br> “Something is valuable not because it’s in<br> Scripture, but it’s in Scripture because it has something valuable to say,” he<br> says.<br> <br> <br> In this episode of Life & Faith,<br> Professor Bock tackles some of the most contentious political topics of today –<br> immigration, welfare, race, and more – and examines them through the lens of<br> the Bible. <br> <br> <br> <br> ---<br> <br> <br> BUY ‘How Would Jesus Vote?’: <a href="http://amzn.to/29QLx2v">http://amzn.to/29QLx2v</a><br> <br> <br> SUBSCRIBE to ‘Life & Faith’: <a href="http://bit.ly/lifeandfaithpodcast">http://bit.ly/lifeandfaithpodcast</a> <br>
