<![CDATA[The rise of money politics transactions in every election event causes the Christian's ethical confusion, between involving oneself as a form of political responsibility or withdraw as an ascetic endeavour. This study aims to examine the issue of money politics from the point of view of Christian ethics by basing it on the thoughts of Norman L. Geisler regarding the ethics of graded absolutism and the concept of leader qualifications according to Exodus 18:21. The research method used was a hermeneutic study.
