by H. Stephen Shoemaker

Description
A guide to wrestling with religion's role in public issues Since September 11 religion has been explicitly connected to most of the major events taking place in the national and international arenas. Seeking to make sense of developments in the world around them, Christians too often find that "help" in how to apply their faith to public issues only comes from those with the loudest agendas. How can thinking Christians seek authentic answers to such questions as America's rightful place in show more world affairs, or the role of faith in government? Drawing inspiration from Lincoln's description of America as an "almost chosen nation," H. Stephen Shoemaker models a faithful, humble engagement of Christian conviction with the civil affairs.
