Isaac, I think this is a really good point and one that I’ve thought about too. I think our faith really emphasizes that all humans are created in the image of God and that should really affect our worldview. Even just understanding and acknowledging that fact allows us to point out a lot of the foreign policy failures of the past and identify areas that we can improve going forward.

I think it can also help us talk across differences in a way that we might not otherwise be able to do if we didn’t believe in the image-bearer nature of humans.
