Note:"American evangelicals are often assumed to be a monolithic political force absolutely unified in their priorities. This collection of Christianity Today articles originally published between 1956 and 2016 tells a different story. Evangelical engagement with politics has been more complex than is often remembered. Dual Citizens reflects the full spectrum of evangelical thought over the past six decades. In Dual Citizens, Timothy D. Padgett has collected more than 90 articles tracing how American evangelicals have viewed their responsibilities as citizens of both the United States and the kingdom of God. These essential articles provide insight into our current political context, preserving the wisdom of the past for the benefit of the future".--Cover.
