Politics and Law
We cannot begin to say anything coherent about the relationship between Christianity and poltics, if we do not have a clear theology of law. Politics is all about designing laws, so God's law must have some relevance.
Therefore, I am surprised how few Christians are interested in even thinking about a theology of law. Most want to pontificate on politics, but they just jump to political solutions with a proof text. Few are interested in serious thinking about the role and source of law.

All laws are built upon theology which explains how life began and my relationship to the world and my creator. From your theology you develop your philosophy, e.g. views on life. From philosophy your develop your politics, because politics follows what the people want and politicians appease the masses. From politics you develop your economics; where politicians legislate to control the economy.
