Politics and the Story of God

A Saturate Webinar

“As Christians we believe that the Bible tells the true story of the world… It is a story that involves [God’s] chosen people in his journey to participate in his redemptive work. Our answers to questions of public justice and of political action must be found in this story.” So wrote author and professor Dr. Michael Goheen in a 2007 paper called “Seeking the Justice of the Kingdom.”
Dr. Goheen will join his friend and colleague Chris Gonzalez for Saturate’s second “Gospel + Politics” webinar to discuss and answer questions on how Christians must view even politics — like everything else in our lives — through the lens of God’s true story.
