Seiple says that an interest in foreign affairs is mandated by what evangelicals believe. "Christians began to understand globalization when a Nazareth carpenter said 'Go ye into all the world," he told CT. "That was the start of globalization, and there has been no let-up in the last 2,000 years. It is global engagement with a world that God continues to love and it is a natural place for us to be: in the difficult areas."

Todd Hertz is online assistant editor for Christianity Today.
