The Future of Faith in American Politics: The Public Witness of the Evangelical Center
Product Description
▼▲In The Future of American Politics, David Gushee argues convincingly that there is in U.S. politics an "evangelical center" of voters who do not identify with the politics and religion of either the right or the left. Although evangelical Christians are portrayed by the media as conservatives, Gushee claims that the evangelical movement includes nearly even numbers of voters on the right, in the center, and on the left of the political spectrum. He provides portraits of the major figures in each of the three camps, outlines the core convictions of the adherents, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each group's positions. He suggests that the evangelical center is poised for growth; this book could be its manifesto.

Editorial Reviews
▼▲Simply stated, this is the best book I've read on the relationship between evangelical Christianity and American politics; a feast for the mind and heart.
-- The Common LoonDr. David Gushee has made an immense contribution to the world of Evangelical politics with the publication of his most recent book, The Future of Faith in American Politics: The Public Witness of the Evangelical Center. Gushee not only provides an in-depth look at the current Evangelical political spectrum, but he also clearly articulates a vision for an emerging "Evangelical Center," a moderate approach to politics that more fully embraces the whole of biblical counsel, not merely a partisan outlook on political life.
-- Faithful PoliticsFew available works do a better job of delineating the political fault lines in contemporary American evangelicalism.... [T]here is little doubt that [Gushee] takes his readers on a well-intentioned, informative, and thoughtful ride.
-- Politics and Religion... this book is a must-read for evangelical believers who genuinely seek to be a public witness as they apply their faith to politics.
