Faithful Politics Meets Political Science: Dr. Koyzis on Ideologies and Integrity

This episode of Faithful Politics features an insightful conversation with Dr. David Koyzis, a scholar affiliated with Global Scholars Canada and author of "Political Visions and Illusions" and "Citizenship Without Illusions." Koyzis discusses his background in political science, his journey from a politically conscious upbringing in the U.S. to a distinguished career in Canada, and the interplay between faith and politics. The episode explores significant themes such as the influence of life experiences on one's political ideology, the challenges of dual citizenship between one's earthly nation and the kingdom of God, and how believers can navigate political engagement without veering into idolatry. The discussion also covers Koyzis' take on proportional representation as a potential solution to issues within the American political system, and how faith can be a guide in political and personal life.
