In successive chapters, he takes on not only the "middle class identity politics" of the left, but American exceptionalism, the relationship between conservative Christians and the media, and whether Christians should believe that "the capitalist way is God's way." Sometimes witty,often acerbic, this volume is an exhortation to American Christians to take a more reflective, responsible, less partisanrole in the political realm. Given that it is rather light on theology and has little biblical content, it is more a callto Christian citizenship than a work of scholarship--which might, indeed, be what the author, a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, intended in this trenchant meditation.
