In a deeply divided nation, we've seen everyone argue over who to vote for, what policies are righteous, and how to move forward. Christians are just as caught up in the polarized politics of our day.But there has to be a better way. We are called to be informed and active citizens, but what does that mean? It has to mean more than angry memes thrown at others on social media.In his new book, political scientist David T. Koyzis asks,“How can Christians live as citizens of God's kingdom while also fulfilling their responsibilities as citizens of political communities?”Can Christians participate in the public square without getting sucked into the idolatries that come with political parties? Isn't it better to avoid politics than risk ethical compromise or division among believers?We had the honor of interviewing David on the day his new book, Citizenship Without Illusions: A Christian Guide to Political Engagement (InterVarsity Press, 2024), was released.Scroll down to learn about David T.

Episode Type: Listen to Learn In this Listen to Learn discussion on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with David Koyzis. David holds a PhD in government and international studies from the University of Notre Dame, taught undergraduate political science for thirty years, and is the author of two books and multiple chapters and articles. In a prior episode of the podcast, David and I discussed his book, Political Visions & Illusions: A Survey and Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies (affiliate) where he synthesizes the ideologies (idolatries) of liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, democratism, socialism into a larger meta-story. In this conversation, we're discussing geographic sovereignty. To whom does the land belong? This is the root question that came to my mind when Russia fully invaded Ukraine in 2022. Also, with Kuwait in the '90s, and Taiwan now, we have situations with conflicting claims of geography and populaces. In the United States, we have differences in the ownership of American land between settlers and natives, and past conflicts about whether the states are obligated to remain in the union or whether America can break off from Great Britain. This conversation is geared towards helping us make sense of and navigate these conflicts.

Episode Type: Book Discussion In this book discussion on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with David Koyzis, author of Political Visions & Illusions: A Survey and Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies. David holds a PhD in government and international studies from the University of Notre Dame and taught undergraduate political science for thirty years. David argues in his book that what we believe about politics matters. In a unique and overarching way, David synthesizes the ideologies, and what he also calls the idolatries of liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, democratism, and socialism into a larger meta-story. He explains these ideologies' points of view, where they aim to provide a redemptive human story, and how their redemptive story fails to recognize the deeper problem and achieve their political ambitions. The book is a fabulous framework for navigating politics while also transcending the emotional pull that comes with political crises or deeply rooted political belief-based discussions. We're often driven by these ideologies without recognizing how they're fueling our point of view and behavior.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. David Koyzis, a Global Scholar for Global Scholars Canada and author of Political Visions and Illusions: A Survey and Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies.Meet Dr. Koyzis: David T. Koyzis taught politics for thirty years at Redeemer University College. He is the author of the award-winning Political Visions and Illusions (also translated into Portuguese and shortly to be translated into Spanish as well) and We Answer to Another: Authority, Office, and the Image of God.Resources:Political Visions and Illusions by David KoyzisCreation Regained by Albert WoltersWhy Liberalism Failed by Patrick DeneenThe Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl TruemanA conversation with Dr. Carl Trueman on the modern self and the sexual revolution

How have the various political ideologies become idolatries? We have David Koyzis on to guide us through the strengths and weaknesses of each of them - Liberalism, Conservatism, Nationalism, Democracy, and Socialism. This is a crash-course in political science during the election season from one of our generation’s best thinkers on the subject. David T. Koyzis earned his Ph.D. in government and international studies from the University of Notre Dame. He has taught undergraduate political science for thirty years. The new second edition of his highly acclaimed book, Political Visions & Illusions: A Survey & Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies came out last year, published by InterVarsity Press.  It is the very best book Bob’s ever read about politics from a Christian worldview. This is a book with a broad international and historical perspective, so it is not bogged down with the punditry that infects so many books. It is not only an equal-opportunity critique but is also a book of hope -- that we can move beyond the ideologies that divide us in our civil and public life.  Thanks for listening!
