Kutsko -- Notes. 520 8 $a Politicians and pundits regularly invoke the Bible in social and political debates on a host of controversial social and political issues, including: abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, the death penalty, separation of church and state, family values, climate change, income distribution, teaching evolution in schools, taxation, school prayer, aid for the poor, and immigration. But is the Bible often used out of context in these major debates? This book includes essays by fourteen biblical scholars who examine the use of the Bible in political debates, uncovering the original historical contexts and meanings of the biblical verses that are commonly cited. The contributors take a non-confessional approach, rooted in non-partisan scholarship, to show how specific texts have at times been distorted in order to support particular views. At the same time, they show how the Bible can sometimes make for unsettling reading in the modern day. The key questions remain: What does the Bible really say? Should the Bible be used to form public policy? 650 0 $a Bible and politics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007010037 650 0 $a Politics in the Bible. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85104476 650 7 $a Bible and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744447 650 7 $a Politics in the Bible. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069974 700 1 $a Flannery, Frances, $e editor of compilation. $e editor of compilation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2008045621 700 1 $a Werline, Rodney Alan, $d 1961- $e editor of compilation. $e editor of compilation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97101860 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011737.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E10F96E8026711E89DEE1C1997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
