Politics

This book addresses such fundamental issues through the eyes of Scripture and against the backdrop of North America’s dual heritage of Christianity and humanism. Government, politics, and the Bible do not seem like a good mix. But as this book aims to show, the Bible has much wisdom to teach us about the place and role of government and its citizens.

A speech given at the ARPA’s 2014 God and Government Conference in Ottawa, Ontario.

A speech held in the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario, on March 27, 2012 on a biblical view of multiculturalism.

Is the western liberal ideal of peoples of different cultures living peaceably together attainable?

There is much talk about human dignity and dying with dignity. What are the issues at stake?

A speech underlining our need to be actively involved in the political affairs of our country.

Recorded during the 2015 CRTS Conference.
Dr. Van Dam begins by asking whether we have a political and social task. This question is answered in the affirmative based on the biblical evidence. How are we to realize this responsibility? Is the recent two-kingdom approach an option? Finally, what sort of expectations can we have as we go about exercising our Christian witness as anointed pilgrim servants of the King, Jesus Christ?
