Abstract
"We live in a time of division. It shows up not just among political parties and ethnic groups and churches but also inside of them. As Christians, we've felt pushed to the outskirts of national public life, yet even there we are divided about how to respond. Some want to strengthen the evangelical voting bloc. Others focus on social-justice causes, and still others would abandon the public square altogether. What do we do when brothers and sisters in Christ sit next to each other in the pews but feel divided and angry? Is there a way forward?"--Page 2 of cover
Description
A nation raging, a church unchanging -- Public square: not neutral, but a battleground of gods -- Heart: not self-exalting, but born again and justified -- Bible: not case law, but a constitution -- Government: not a savior, but a platform builder -- Churches: not lobbying organizations, but embassies of heaven -- Christians: not cultural warriors, but ambassadors -- Justice: not just rights, but right -- Final thoughts: why the battle might get worse, but our political hopes can remain unchanged, untroubled, untouched.
