21 " The libertarian view that the state has no responsibility to care for and empower the poor flies in the face of clear biblical teaching. "
― Ronald J. Sider , Just Politics: A Guide for Christian Engagement
22 " But we dare not adopt our political philosophy uncritically from some non-Christian source. It must emerge from our normative biblical framework and our painstaking, extensive socioeconomic and political analysis. "
23 " To the extent that we can be precise about exactly where we disagree, we can make more progress in overcoming our differences. "
24 " To the extent that we truly believe the promise of Christ's coming victory, the Christian story can again today inspire and energize powerful political movements for justice, peace, life, and freedom. "
25 " Sometimes, for a generation or more, injustice, war, totalitarianism, and social evil of all kinds may advance, rather than retreat. Even then, the assurance of Christ's final victory provides hope that sustains our persistent, faithful struggle for justice even when the political tide is sweeping in the other direction. "
