The Good and Faithful Servant


Book Description

A "26 week course of study and conversation for small groups on the variety of subjects that Christians interested in politics must consider as they contemplate their lives as citizens in a free society" was written for mainstream and evangelical Catholics and Protestants by "a center-right evangelical with deep roots in the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian traditions," who is also a nationally syndicated conservative radio show host. The author states his view that a vote in 2008 for Barack Obama would have been "simply impossible for most faithful Christians to cast--if they have studied the issues and their obligations as a citizen of this world and of the kingdom.' Many of his weekly lessons deal with the author's interpretation of President Obama's political positions. Scripture references are from the New King James version of the Bible
