"Faith and Politics" is an initiative of a group of Evangelical scholars and experts from various disciplines aiming to help Christians become more socio-politically engaged in transforming our nation based on sound biblical-theological teachings. We will therefore address in our webinars and book project key election-related issues and important long-term concerns of our nation. The webinars will
run on a Thursday at 6pm, during the Isip-Isak time slot, starting February 24 and is highlighted by the Prayer for the Nation on May 5, with biblical reflections and prayers from our theologians and church leaders. The webinars will conclude in the month of June. The webinar series is a collaborative work among the authors, editors, ISACC, PCEC Justice, Peace and Reconciliation Commission (JPARCOM) and Langham Publishing in the UK. Langham will publish the book the main ideas of which will be presented in the webinars. There will also be responses to the presentations by theologians and church leaders from other traditions. To maximize its reach, churches and faith-based organizations are being invited to partner with us in disseminating the webinars to their constituencies. As conceived, the book will introduce readers to key topics related to the intersection of faith and politics in the Philippine context. It highlights how key evangelical thinkers in our country explain the relevance of our faith tradition in addressing important concerns in the political sphere. Most evangelical seminaries and Bible schools in the Philippines and in Asia overwhelmingly use Western textbooks currently. Hence, this book can be a valuable contribution to the conversations on theology-and-politics in this country and Asia as a whole."
