How to Deal with Political Ideologies in the Face of the Biblical Worldview

ANN (Adventist News Network) English has posted my interview conducted by Felipe Lemos in English translation: How to Deal with Political Ideologies in the Face of the Biblical Worldview. An excerpt:

Interviewer: What do you think motivated a more recent phenomenon of strong polarized discussions, especially in the environment of digital social networks, about partisan and political aspects?

Koyzis: I think the polarization arises in part because we make different prudential judgments about which political group or party comes closest to seeking public justice. But I think there's more. Even when we claim to belong to Christ, we inevitably become captivated by the stories these ideologies tell us. Our hearts are divided when they should be united in loyalty to the kingdom of God. The only effective way to break through this polarization is to look into our own hearts and determine whether our loyalty to God's kingdom is genuinely sincere or whether we place our faith in something in His creation.
