"Society is most often reformed by spiritual influence from within, not legislated spirituality. Against this backdrop, Charles Colson develops a clear and challenging approach to political action. By first establishing both the true loyalties of the believer and the God-given responsibilities of government, Colson demonstrates the importance of participation. But as a people with dual citizenship, Christians must carefully weigh the implications of *the separation of church and state, * imposing Christian values on non-Christians,* political power and corruption, and *party loyalty vs. concern for public interest. To help your group examine its role in government, this discussion guide was designed to expose both the biblical guidelines for, and snares of political involvement. As you work through these issues together, you''ll be confronted with the need for a righteous influence in the public arena. And you may just decide to contribute that influence through your involvement".-back cover
