God and Government 3 - Christians and the Political Order: Accommodation?

There are essentially four views regarding the proper way Christians should think about their interaction with the political order: separation, accommodation, bifurcation, and transformation.

In our first lesson, we discussed the principle of separation and showed that it rests on a faulty understanding of Scripture. In this lesson we discuss the principle of accommodation. This could also be called the way of adaptation or compromise. This is a perennial temptation for the people of God, to adapt the faith to the norms of their own culture.
