CHRISTIANS & POLITICS BEYOND THE CULTURE WARS

n Christians and Politics beyond the Culture Wars, prominent Christian theologians and philosophers from a variety of theological positions consider the role of Christian principles in American politics. This book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on historical, theological, and theoretical issues and the second part offering practical responses to current moral and social dilemmas.

Contributors include Michael Cromartie, Ronald Sider, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Richard Land, Christine Pohl, and Glen Stassen.

"I know of no collection of essays that better reveals the diversity, hopes, and frustrations of contemporary evangelicals in regard to the current American political situation. This book is a real service to those who want to understand what critics call, without much nuance, 'Christian Conservatism' or (more accusingly) 'the New Religious Right.""
