Synopsis Evangelicals at the Ballot Box by : Albert J. Menendez
A closely researched study analyzing the voting patterns of various evangelical denominations and revealing the social and political concerns that motivate them. Political analyst Menendez avoids the common mistake of lumping all groups together into a "religious right" bloc, instead examining a variety of evangelical subcultures including Southern Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, Mennonites, the Dutch Reformed, and Catholics. The analyses prompts speculations on why the Republican party is more receptive to the evangelical position than the Democrats, and the future possibility of religion playing a central role in defining US political issues.

Synopsis The Bible And The Ballot Box by : James L Guth
The 1988 elections abruptly brought the importance of religion in American politics into sharp focus. Two ministers, Pat Robertson and Jesse Jackson, sought their party's presidential nominations by mobilizing key religious constituencies. In addition, a host of other religious groups, from the Catholic bishops to the Jewish community, sought to influence the election outcome. More than ever, religion was a critical factor in the ballots cast by millions of Americans. As the twentieth century draws to a close, it is clear that religion will continue to be a powerful factor in electoral politics. This volume investigates the many ways religion influenced electoral politics in 1988, tracing the links between elites, activists, and voters in the major religious traditions. Special attention is paid to the leaders of Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish organizations; to important sets of activists, such as ministers, party leaders, and campaign contributors; and to the behavior of key voting blocs, including white evangelical and mainline Protestants, black Protestants, Catholics, and Jews.

Synopsis The Voting Christian by : D. C. Innes
The world we have known has been thrown into confusion seemingly overnight. The 2016 presidential election is scrambling our political categories. What a man or woman is has become controversial. The world beyond our borders seems to be flying out of control. With confidence in God's sovereign goodness, yet discouragement over consistent defeats in the culture wars, Christians are perplexed over how to navigate their political options. In this timely work, D.C. Innes, a professor of politics at The King's College and an ordained minister, addresses issues from immigration and global security to the police wars and the continuing fallout of the sexual revolution. His academic and pastoral experience position him to provide rare insight for wise choices at the polling place and for living a faithful Christian life in a world increasingly hostile to the Christian faith. With the most important election of our lifetime only months away, you must get your hands on this book as soon as possible and devour it.

Synopsis Faith in the Voting Booth by : Leith Anderson
Faith in the Voting Booth by National Association of Evangelicals leaders Leith Anderson and Galen Carey will help you clarify your own positions in light of your faith before you enter the voting booth. Anderson and Carey show that biblical wisdom is surprisingly relevant to today’s complex political issues. Each voting decision should be thoughtfully and prayerfully approached. This book does not tell you how to vote. Instead it will help you resist clever campaign slogans and television ads designed to make you angry or afraid. Faith in the Voting Booth provides general principles to guide you in 2016 and for years to come. As informed faith leaders, Anderson and Carey not only identify the issues but also help you reflect biblically on how to vote. It is a book that will keep people of faith up to date and ready to vote with confidence and wisdom.

Synopsis Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer by : Douglas W Phillips
He was only five years old when a local barnstormer offered to take young Bill Brown for a flight in a biplane in exchange for one of his mother's home-cooked meals. That day birthed a life-long fascination with aviation. By twenty-one, Brown had earned his own wings and found himself as a flying P-51 Mustang fighter pilot performing daring raids from battlefields like Iwo Jima. Ultimately he was shot down during a combat mission over Japan, but would live to become a dynamic servant of the Cross. Featured in the film, "The League of Grateful Sons," Bill Brown is now the subject of a thrilling story of combat, faith, and fatherhood told through the eyes of granddaughter Kelly Brown. In ''Coming In on a Wing and a Prayer,'' a beautiful, pictorially rich book, Kelly recounts the life of her flyboy grandfather as a letter to generations yet to be born.

Synopsis American Babylon by : Philip S. Gorski
Why did 81 percent of white evangelicals vote for Donald Trump in 2016? And what does this tell us about the relationship between Christianity and democracy in the United States? American Babylon places our present political moment against a deep historical backdrop. In Part I the author traces the development of democratic institutions from Ancient Greece through to the American Revolution and of Christian political theology from Augustine to Falwell. Part II charts the decline of democratic governance within American churches; explains the capture of evangelical Christianity by the Republican Party; and denounces the fateful embrace between white Christian nationalists and right-wing populists that culminated in Trump’s victory. An accessible and timely book, American Babylon is essential reading for those concerned with the vexed relationship of religion and politics in the United States, including students and scholars in the fields of divinity, history, political science, religious studies, and sociology.
