Professor Innes has been teaching political theory at King’s since 2005. He came to King’s to integrate faith with politics in an institution that is, he says, “serious about applying the Christian faith to politics and every aspect of life.” He makes that application in his book, Left, Right, and Christ: Evangelical Faith in Politics (2011). His service as a pastor in Iowa for several years before coming to King’s especially prepared him for the faith-based approach. He is still an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. |

Though a theorist and a Francis Bacon scholar, Prof. Innes writes a weekly column at WORLDmag.com on current political issues. His interest in practical politics is apparent also from just peeking into his office. His walls are covered with campaign signs and buttons from the past half-century. He also displays a picture of whoever holds the office of President, regardless of party. “The Lord gives us government for our good.”
