But What About God?: Encountering God at the Intersection of American Politics, Religion, and Culture
Synopsis
This book seeks to define biblical Christianity apart from it syncretistic integration with American politics, religion, and culture.
Whereas this topic has been explored ad nauseam, with emphases on political, historical, and racial aspects,
this tome, though it references cultural issues prevalent throughout American history, attempts to highlight the biblical perspective.
The four essays: A Christian Nation, American Christianity, Relationships, and Truth, are self-contained. The reader can start with any essay of his or her choosing and receive a somewhat comprehensive treatment of that subject matter, from a biblical and slightly historical perspective. Each essay also has its own footnotes and bibliography.
A statement made my someone during the editing process, "It's been a while since I've read a religious essay
that I genuinely enjoyed (I actually have a minor in world religions)."
Another observation was, "The material is quite dense, which makes for slower going, but it's an enjoyable and very educational read."
Although these may not be acceptable as bona fide reviews, they should influence the prospective reader as to how to approach the material.
It is hoped that, for the believer, your faith will be enhanced and for the nonbeliever, it sheds some light on areas where there are questions.
