Product Description
The world we have known has fragmented and fallen into confusion and bitter partisan rancor. Trust in our major institutions of government, public safety, media, education, and even science has shattered. With confidence in God’s sovereign goodness, yet discouraged over the sustained assaults on the country’s moral and spiritual foundations and on religious liberties, Christians are perplexed over how to navigate their political options. In The Christian Citizen, David C. Innes addresses issues from immigration and global security to the police wars and the continuing fallout of the sexual revolution. His academic and pastoral experience position him to provide rare insight for citizens making wise political judgments and living faithful Christian lives in a world increasingly hostile to the Christian life and healthy human community.
