In the interests of the upcoming election, I'm going to do something I don't normally do on this blog, I'm going to address four issues head on regarding the church and politics. I am not going to provide editorial comment, just resources for you to go to and work out in your own mind the relationship between religion, social justice and politics. I'd love to read your comments and get some dialog going on this very important and relevant subject.
Works That Advocate a Strong Christian Influence in Social Justice Issues:
Red Letter Christians - a citizen's guide to faith and politics by Tony Campolo
The Great Awakening - reviving faith & politics in a post-religious right America by Jim Wallis
The Scandal of Evangelical Politics - why are Christians missing the chance to really change the world by Ronald Sider
