DESCRIPTION
AN EVANGELICAL CALL TO CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
Numerous streams have sprouted from the fountainhead of the Church since it was instituted in Matthew 16:18 when Christ poured His benediction onto Peter. From her Catholic origins to the revolution of the Protestant posterity, there has also been numerous tributaries multiplying within the Protestant fold.
Amongst them is the contemporary force historians named as Evangelicalism. It has been a term often misunderstood and misapplied in many contexts of the Church and the world at large, intermingled with the sister stream of Fundamentalism. It is conservative, fundamental and politically aggressive.
However, unlike its predecessors in the like of Roman Catholicism and classical Protestantism; the evangelicals have no philosophical window to see themselves and undergird their actions and beliefs. Many a time their political agendas have lacked clarity, consistency and Christlikeness. There is no theology of citizenship, so to speak, for the Evangelicals.
Classical Protestantism has a rich well of traditions to draw from...Catholicism has its history of papal reflections and directions. But the current evangelical movement is a smorgasbord, a formless inconsistency.
This book is written to address the crisis. It will help conscientious Christians carefully develop a biblical framework that guides their political involvement. Edited with the knowledge of a wise counsel of thinkers and scholars, this work combines the nuances of political philosophy, Scripture, tradition and a relentless study of the contemporary mind.
It is a challenge to create a better world. A better future...for all of us.
