Frame, Randall L.
In today's polarized political climate, it's difficult to take a moderate stance. How Right Is the Right? takes a balanced look at today's political issues and agendas. It critiques the Christian Right, focusing on both its contributions and its weaknesses, especially in light of the impact it has had on the mission of the church. The authors ask questions such as:
Where have the lines between spiritual agendas and political agendas become blurred?
What options are there for those who are uncomfortable with the extreme views of either the Christian Right or the traditional liberals?
How do we support the causes we believe in without buying into the agendas of ideologues who stir up controversy to win votes?
Is there a way for evangelical moderates to find a voice in the political
dialogue that is both biblical and ethical?
Moving beyond mere frustration with current political agendas, How Right Is the Right? offers "The Ten Commandments of Moderate Political Behavior and applies these principles to many of the most important and divisive issues of our times, including abortion, homosexuality, and church-state relations.
If you are dissatisfied with the current state of American politics, How Right is the Right? is a moderate "voice in the wilderness" offering biblically based principles to guide the political debate and to steer us through this uneasy time of political and social upheaval.
