| Summary: | This is a book that deserves to be noticed and to be deeply pondered by every type of American evangelical Christian—especially those who engage politics and the public square. It probably will not be met with such a response. The habits of evangelical political engagement will not change easily, not after forty-five years of evangelical left activism and forty years of similar activism on the evangelical right., Similar activism? Yes, absolutely, if D. G. Hart is to be believed. The activism is similar because, says Hart, all (relevant) American evangelicals bring a utopian, biblically based, oddly un-American and certainly unconservative religious vision into the public square. |
