"Politics affects everyone everywhere. Yet most people do not know how to communicate or think methodically (much less unemotionally) about the issues at hand. What we need is for our thinking to be grounded in the basic framework of order, freedom, justice, and equality."

Part 8 of our worldview study delves into "Political Thought: A Student's Guide" by Dr. Hunter Baker. This helpful guide will help you learn how to fruitfully consider and discuss politics and gain a greater capacity for evaluating political proposals and the claims that go with them.

Hunter Baker (PhD, Baylor University; JD, University of Houston) is associate dean of arts and sciences at Union University and has written for a wide variety of publications, including "Christianity Today" and the "Journal of Law and Religion." Baker is also the winner of the 2011 Michael Novak Award, an award given for outstanding scholarly research concerning the relationship between religion, economic freedom, and the free and virtuous society.

Join the conversation as we see how the Christian intellectual tradition shapes our political thought. As always, bring your questions! I will be taking questions and calls after the teaching.
