| Summary: | How, if at all, should Christians be involved in the public square? What role should faith play in the formation of public policies and programs? How can believers engage political debates and simultaneously honor the nation's commitment to the free exercise of religion?

He believes that the Bible is the indispensable foundation for Christian public engagement because, through the scriptural narrative, we discover who God is, who we are, and how we are called to live together in community. |
