Different denominations read the Bible in different ways. The position I am stating is a common way to read the Bible in Mainline Protestantsm and Catholicism. And therefore reading Scripture is always under the lens of its historic character and in terms of the general themes that run throughout.
Hence, there are a lot of denominations who read Scripture and see the God of the Old Testament, the Prophets, and Jesus the Christ challenging the political underpinnings of society and see that they should follow that role.
