Quote from Beckwith's "Politics for Christians"

I'm reading Francis J. Beckwith's "Politics for Christians." Found this quote by Beckwith on page 89:


"... So, can a Christian vote for a non-Christian? Absolutely. In fact, in some cases a Christian's conscience may require he support a non-Christian candidate if that candidate is the best-situated person who is most likely to advance the public good."

  1. Sometimes one needs to vote for a non Christian in order to get out of a bad situation. This might be the case in some state government offices in thee next election.
