Download or read book Taking America Back for God written by Andrew L. Whitehead and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do white Protestants in America embrace a president who seems to violate their basic standards of morality? The answer, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry argue, is "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is -- and should be -- a Christian nation. Knowing someone's stance on Christian nationalism, this book shows, tells us more about his or her political beliefs than race, religion, or political party. Drawing on national survey data and interviews with Americans across the political spectrum, Taking America Back for God illustrates the tremendous influence of Christian nationalism on debates about the most contentious issues dominating American public life.

Download or read book Christianity and the Political Order written by HImes, Kenneth R. and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A must-read and indispensable guide for those concerned with the bread-and-butter issues of church-and-state relations. . . .” – Peter C. Phan
“The breadth of historical development, the depth of theological and ethical analysis, and the clarity of thought and expression by Kenneth Himes make Christianity and the Political Order an excellent textbook.” – Charles Curran
Beyond electoral campaigns and government structures, the relationship between the political realm and Christianity has always involved the important questions of how we ought to live together, and how we should organize and govern our common life. As the author notes, politics—and the political choices we make—must be "guided by considerations of national and global justice and peace and, for Christians, by the teachings of Jesus," as interpreted by tradition.
Himes examines the relationship between Christianity and politics from the teachings of the Old and New Testaments through the patristic and medieval eras, and from the age of reform to the age of revolution, and throughout the twentieth century into the third millennium. He takes on questions of the role of the church in politics, responsible voting, concerns of globalization, and issues of human rights and war and peace.
With discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, Christianity and the Political Order is a timely and compelling review of the relationship between Christian faith and the political realm both past and present in a classroom-friendly text.

Book excerpt: We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often religion is largely ignored as a driver of identity formation in the European context, whereas in reality Christian Churches are central players in European identity formation at the national and continental level. Christian Churches in European Integration challenges this tendency, highlighting the position of churches as important identity formers and actors in civil society. Analysing the role of Churches in engaging with two specific EU issues – that of EU treaty reform and ongoing debates about immigration and asylum policy – the author argues that Churches are unique participants in European integration. Establishing a comprehensive view of Christian Churches as having a vital role to play in European integration, this book offers a substantial and provocative contribution both to our understanding of the European Union and the broader question of how religious and state institutions interact with one another.

Download or read book Christianity and Politics written by C. C. Pecknold and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not simply for rhetorical flourish that politicians so regularly invoke God's blessings on the country. It is because the relatively new form of power we call the nation-state arose out of a Western political imagination steeped in Christianity. In this brief guide to the history of Christianity and politics, Pecknold shows how early Christianity reshaped the Western political imagination with its new theological claims about eschatological time, participation, and communion with God and neighbor. The ancient view of the Church as the "mystical body of Christ" is singled out in particular as the author traces shifts in its use and meaning throughout the early, medieval, and modern periods-shifts in how we understand the nature of the person, community and the moral conscience that would give birth to a new relationship between Christianity and politics. While we have many accounts of this narrative from either political or ecclesiastical history, we have few that avoid the artificial separation of the two. This book fills that gap and presents a readable, concise, and thought-provoking introduction to what is at stake in the contentious relationship between Christianity and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this addition to the acclaimed Engaging Culture series, a highly respected author and Christian thinker offers a principled, biblical perspective on engaging political culture as part of one's calling. James Skillen believes that constructive Christian engagement depends on the belief that those made in the image of God are created not only for family life, agriculture, education, science, industry, and the arts but also for building political communities, justly ordered for the common good. He argues that God made us to be royal stewards of public governance from the outset and that the biblical story of God's creation, judgment, and redemption of all things in Jesus Christ has everything to do with politics and government. In this irenic, nonpartisan treatment of an oft-debated topic, Skillen critically assesses current political realities and helps readers view responsibility in the political arena as a crucial dimension of the Christian faith.

Download or read book The Third Temptation written by Austin Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Christ went into the wilderness for forty days, he was tempted by Satan in multiple ways. In the devil's third and final temptation, he offered Christ all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for one momentary compromise of values. Christ denied this temptation, and in so doing, he set an example for Christians of all ages thereafter to follow. The Third Temptation is an exploration of the political theology of the Bible, and especially the implications of Christ's response to the temptation in the wilderness. The book sketches an overarching narrative of a God who wants a relationship of direct authority over His people -- and His self-sacrificial quest to reclaim that power. Believers have an important role to play in advancing God's Kingdom on Earth, but that role cannot be fulfilled through the channels of government. The lesson of The Third Temptation is that the church cannot fulfill the gospel by means of the sword, and the government cannot carry out its God-given tasks by means of the cross. "Austin Rogers is a gifted writer whose magnificent prose, profound insights, rigorous logic and impeccable scholarship assure that The Third Temptation is destined to be a classic." --Lawrence W. Reed, author of "Was Jesus A Socialist?" "In an age when many Christians on both sides of the aisle see political power as the ultimate means to fulfill God's purposes on Earth, Austin's examination of why Jesus refused to accept political power when it was offered to him is an urgent call to reimagine the relationship between God and government and what it truly means to follow in the footsteps of Jesus." --Kevin Miller, director of "J.E.S.U.S.A." and "Hellbound?" "Rogers is exceedingly helpful for disciples to align their approach to politics with the Scriptures and the will of God for our lives." --D. Eric Schansberg, Professor at Indiana University Southeast and author of "Turn Neither to the Right nor to the Left: A Thinking Christian's Guide to Politics and Public Policy" "This is a work not to be ignored, as Christians of every political persuasion will be both challenged and invigorated by Rogers' analysis and policy proposals. No thoughtful reader will remain unchanged after reading this book!" --Doug Stuart, CEO, Libertarian Christian Institute
