A Glossary of Terms for the Multipolar World - 4PT in Biblical Perspective

It is not necessary to carefully read through all of the Glossary articles (see the menu below). This section is lengthy and you have one of two choices.

  1. If you find yourself familiar with most of these terms, you might want to just skim through or skip ahead to the Our Purpose. If you want to get right into the meat of the book, you can refer back to the Glossary anytime. I have grouped these terms under subject headings rather than in alphabetical order. However, these terms are listed again in an alphabetical index at the end of the book so you can refer back here again.
  2. Some people may find this Glossary interesting as a stand-alone chapter. It serves as a road map to the rest of the book. The purpose is to show how many of these theories, movements, political organizations and concepts are all related. An intuitive person will be able to draw some conclusions by “connecting the dots.” You will be able to better predict where the line of argument of this book is headed.

Introduction - The Fourth Political Theory in Biblical Perspective

This book presents a vision for the future of the United States of America as a Christian civilization. When I speak of the history of America, I include the United States as the federal union that came into being with the Constitution in 1787, but also the earlier settlements instituted by compacts, charters, orders and state constitutions. Christian nationalists bolster America’s unique political system by using the quotations of various Christian founders. Make no mistake about it – America is a Christian nation.8 This is undeniable, but it is neither because our political founders were professing Christians, nor because our Declaration of Independence repeatedly refers to the God of the Bible, nor because there is a treasure trove of quotations from our Founding Fathers who extolled Christianity. Although all this is true, this is not what made America a Christian nation.

Preface - The Fourth Political Theory in Biblical Perspective

Three great modernist political theories emerged in the last 300 years of Western history – Liberalism in the 1700s, communism in the 1800s, and fascism in the 1900s. Fascism was destroyed by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1945, two nations that represented and led the Liberal and communist worlds. Communism died of old age in 1991. Liberalism committed suicide by 2022.

In response, many would-be reformers of our day speak of recovering a “Christian nation.” I see that as a positive development, as long as we define what we mean.

Why the Forever War Must Finally End

How do we describe the current shift in American and geopolitics?

The problem with terms is that they mean different things in different contexts. In Russia, the communists are right wing. In America, they are on the extreme left. Libertarianism is extreme right wing, but extreme left wing at the same time. Those terms are meaningless because they shift over place and time. The most helpful paradigm is that the political realignment is no longer horizontal — left vs. right — but vertical — populace vs. the elites. That is now a worldwide phenomenon by the way.

I’m excited about Trump’s foreign policy. He’s right more than 50 percent of the time, but he was forced to compromise with the neocons in his first term. The plus is that he was ALWAYS against foreign wars. He was against Iraq and Afghanistan when most Republicans believed we were fighting an existential threat in radical Islam. Most Republicans in Washington still believe that, but a few are waking up.

The Fourth Political Theory in Biblical Perspective

Imagine if you lived in Western Europe 500 years ago and someone told you that an explorer had just circumnavigated the world. There were now newly discovered vast continents to the West and East and huge civilizations that had never encountered each other before. What if they tried to explain the coming changes in world trade, world reserve currencies, joint-stock investment capitalism, global banking systems, the Internet? What about the Protestant Reformation, Enlightenment science, constitutional government, Liberal democratic republics? You might have scratched your head and thought you were talking to a crazy person.

Things we take as mundane reality today would have been thought of as wonders just a few years ago. Few people today understand that we are on the cusp of a monumental shift in worldview, politics, and civilizational culture that is at least as great as the changes we saw in the West beginning in the 1500s. Of course, change happens all the time, but most live as though the world we see is the only one possible. Innovations on the level described above are inconceivable. These coming tectonic quakes will shift civilizational politics. These changes are coming as fast as they began to come 500 years ago.

Are you ready, Christian, to weather the earth-shaking changes? Are you ready to lead?

This book came about because I read three books that helped me form a more cohesive worldview on geopolitics.
