Being Christian in an Almost Chosen Nation: Thinking About Faith and Politics Author: H. Stephen Shoemaker Retail Price: $17.00 Our Price: $14.99 Save: 2.01 (11.82%) Availability: In Stock        A guide to wrestling with religion's role in public issues Since September 11 religion has been explicitly connected to most of the major events taking place in the national and international arenas. Seeking to make sense of developments in the world around them, Christians too often find that 'help' in how to apply their faith to public issues only comes from those with the loudest agendas. How can thinking Christians seek authentic answers to such questions as America's rightful place in world affairs, or the role of faith in government? Drawing inspiration from Lincoln's description of America as an 'almost chosen nation,' H. Stephen Shoemaker models a faithful, humble engagement of Christian conviction with the civil affairs. Dr. H. Stephen Shoemaker is Senior Minister at Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the author of several books, including God Stories: New Narratives from Sacred Texts, Strength in Weakness: A Lyrical Re-presentation of II Corinthians, and Finding Jesus In His Prayers.
