As anyone knows who has listened to my preaching over the years, I have always, incessantly,  equally critiqued the positions of the Left and the Right, not one more than the other. To claim that I am mainly a proponent of one side or the other is amply refuted by looking at 1/6 https://twitter.com/timkellernyc/status/1322179959625056259

at my books and sermons. 

But I deny that this is middle-of-the-road centrism. The gospel critiques all ideologies, & all the main political platforms since the Enlightenment have been dominated by reductionism and idols. (See David Koyzis, Political Visions and Illusions.) 2/6

Those who deny this are unaware of the genealogy of their own political thought. (See Alasdair MacIntyre, After Virtue and Whose Justice? Which Rationality?) 

Ideologies force “ethical package deals” on Christians. (See James Mumford, Vexed: Ethics Beyond Political Tribes.) 3/6

Biblically, Christians ought to be equally and energetically concerned about  guarding the life of the unborn, about racial injustice, about the plight of the poor, and about promoting sexual morality and the health of the family. We should not have to choose among these. We 4/6

should not have to play down about some of them in order to promote others. But across the West, the dominant political parties call its members to do just that. 

Nevertheless, since Christians can & must work for the good of society as our biblically informed consciences direct

us, they will often have to work in or support others in the dominant political parties. But because of the ideological nature of politics & the “package deals” we must not identify Christian faith closely with any of them nor insist there is only one truly Christian way to vote.
