What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have applied the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was done well and times it was egregiously misused. Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to their lives-and to contemporary political issues. Rather than prescribing what readers should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. Readers will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Bible and politics|zUnited States. 650 0 Religion and politics|zUnited States. 650 0 Political participation|zUnited States. 650 0 Electronic books. 710 2 hoopla digital. 914 MWT15497729
