"This very timely volume will be a great resource for those
interested in the relationship between Christianity and questions
of civic responsibility, power, and governance. The sophisticated
treatment of a range of historical and contemporary Christian
traditions is particularly vital today, when a Christian approach
to politics is too often reduced to a single issue or a
bumper-sticker slogan. The various essays, each written by a
scholar who identifies with
the tradition under study, are informative, nuanced, and critically
engaging."--Darren Walhof, Associate Professor of Political
Science, Grand Valley State University
"A concise, engaging volume...Highly recommended."--Choice
