But this book is not just a critique, it is a compelling argument for a biblical worldview – all of civic life under the God who is Creator, Legislator, Ruler, and Judge. Using this worldview as his own guiding principle, Swanson describes what a godly government, foreign policy, economic system, and more would look like.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e- Steve Walker, Pastor of Central Valley Presbyterian Church\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Generations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42557311549534,"sku":"UG-00275","price":38.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1171\/9000\/files\/Under_God_1.jpg?v=1773873275","url":"https:\/\/store.generations.org\/products\/under-god","provider":"Generations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
