The Scandal of Evangelical Politics Availability: Our Price: £9.49 An Analysis of contemporary evangelical political engagement leads Ron Sider to the comment “Christian political activity today is a disaster.” He believes that Christians have failed in all aspects of the political ladder to subject their inherited political perspectives to the lordship of Christ via thoughtful biblical critique. Resulting in a lack of political influence and harm to the gospel witness. Combining biblical principles and sociology will help evangelicals to have the opportunity to promote the well being all, by developing an irenic approach of doing politics in a wise and biblical manner, honouring Christ. Ron Sider provides evangelical Christians with a road map to help Christians develop a systematic political philosophy that is balanced and nonpartisan to guide and sustain political activism.
