#18 UNDERSTANDING CHURCH, STATE, AND POLITICS + Dr. Mark Clark Biblically Speaking
-
- Christianity
Dr. Mark Clark is a renowned professor of political science specializing in national security studies, who found his Christian faith during his tenure in the Marine Corps, leading him to develop a keen interest in international politics and conflicts. Dr. Clark perceives Daniel as an exemplary figure that represents an ideal Christian, particularly in terms of respecting authority and maintaining righteousness amidst adversity. His studies of Daniel and his attributes, such as a strong work ethic and incorruptibility, have substantially influenced Dr. Clark's approach towards politics and conflict resolution. This study has also been instrumental in teaching him how to navigate complex situations in his career. Furthermore, his understanding and interpretation of other biblical figures such as John the Baptist, Abraham, and the apostles have underlined the value of learning from biblical examples to guide one's actions in contemporary political and societal contexts.
Mark T. Clark, Ph. D., is an Emeritus Professor of Political Science and National Security Studies at California State University, San Bernardino. In addition to his career, Clark has co-hosted the TBN series Reasons to Believe, co-authored Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men (2002) with Hugh Ross and Ken Samples, and is a member of the Scholar Community at Reasons to Believe. Clark served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1973 to 1977.
