Brian Benestad -- Reformed (Transformationist view, Integrationist) James K. A. Smith -- Black Church (Prophetic view) Bruce Fields. Each author addresses his tradition's theological distinctives, the role of government, the place of individual Christian participation in government and politics, and how churches should (or should not) address political questions. Responses by each contributor to opposing views will highlight key areas of difference and disagreement. Thorough and even-handed, Five Views on the Church and Politics will enable readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the most significant Christian views on political engagement and to draw their own, informed conclusions.  aTheology, Doctrinal  aChristianity and politics4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14704/14.jpgyCover Image
