The 2024 election is fast approaching and many Christians are still left wondering whose policies best represent the Bibleโs teachings. Today, weโre talking to theologian and author of โThe Bible and the Ballot,โ Tremper Longman, to learn how Christians can vote in a way that best reflects biblical values.
