Book Synopsis Republican Theology by : Benjamin T. Lynerd
Book excerpt: Since the founding, American evangelicals have espoused a civil religion that sees limited government as a condition for a thriving church. This "republican theology," however, also accentuates the church's capacity to elevate civic virtue. How evangelicals navigate these sometimes contradictory imperatives forms the subtext of their participation in American politics.
