Publisher's Synopsis
"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter - from the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government - from their carelessness and negligence." - Daniel Webster (1782-1852). What does the Bible say about Christian involvement in politics? What happens when Christians don't participate? Is the doctrine of "Separation of Church and State" supported by either the Constitution of the U.S. or the Bible? Are pastors required to be silent in the pulpit over political/social issues by either the State or the Bible? These questions and more will be addressed in this short excerpt from our "You Are What You Think" worldview textbook series. Let's put on our critical-thinking cap and consider what Scripture says rather than relying on the personal opinion of others.
