Wayne Grudem and the Quest for a “Biblical” Political Science – Part 1

(Initial HT: A Boomer in the Pew)  For the last several years, Wayne Grudem — Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary and the well-known author of, among other things, the…oh, I don’t know…perhaps 50+ lbs tome Systematic Theology — has been using the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual conference (and, more recently, his Christian Essentials class at Scottsdale Bible Church) to test-drive his thoughts in the area of political science.  Earlier in 2009, in the fourth part of an interview with Sovereign Grace Ministries’ C.J. Mahaney, Grudem admitted that if he had not gone into ministry, there was “no question” that he would have become a lawyer and entered the political realm.
