Church & State, Faith & Politics
Sean Michael Lucas has a fine series of posts on his blog. I generally agree with his views on the relationship between church and state as entities, and on faith and politics in the life of the individual believer. There is good reason for the separation between church and state (neither a wall nor a marriage, in my view), and also for the Christian's faith to inform his politics.
Lucas' series consists of three posts. The first reviews Randall Balmer's book Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory. The second reviews Darryl Hart's A Secular Faith. Both books discuss the question of the role of the Christian Church in American politics. The third post interacts with both books and presents Lucas' take on the issues.
On a fascinating and thought-provoking topic, these posts are well worth reading.
