The real issue of the election was not how to count the Florida votes. That game had been played many times before in major cities where the outcome of close elections had to be secured. No, the real issue was played out in the Supreme Court of Florida and of the United States. It is […]

Blinded By Might
Here is an interesting look back at the Moral Majority days in which both of these men were involved. With no malice toward those in charge, it is their opinion that direct involvement in politics by Evangelicals and Fundamentalists basically failed. For all of the work for more than a decade, that work was overturned […]
Salt & Light
This is a compilation of debate articles between the religious political right and left beginning in the mid 1950’s and continuing through the 1980’s. Representative of the right are writers like Carl F.H. Henry, founding editor of Christianity Today, and Jerry Falwell, while the left is represented by such writers as Jim Wallis, founding editor […]
The Election In The Mirror
Christianity could be transformed into a cultural religion. Instead of attending to otherworldly concepts such as individual salvation and everlasting life, the church would focus upon this world. Moral pronouncements, social involvement, and political activism would become the work of the church. Such ‘cultural Protestantism,’ to use H. Richard Niebuhr’s term, came to dominate 19th-century Protestantism […]
Has Democracy Had Its Day?
As I read this diminutive book, I wondered what caused Richard Land (SBC Christian Life Commission) to call Carl Henry “the twentieth century’s greatest evangelical theologian” and then to declare this book “to be one of the most important things ever written by Dr. Henry.” The book has some interesting points concerning democracy as Henry […]
Why the Left is not Right
This book is subtitled “The Religious Left: Who They Are and What They Believe.” It is a critique of liberal political action taken by left-wing evangelicals including socialist and communist connections within the WCC and NCC. I was pleasantly surprised that Nash takes the conservative stance he does while criticizing fellow evangelicals. Of special interest […]
Hitler’s Cross
I have long thought that the most interesting study of atheism in this century is that of German Fascism during the Nazi regime. It is important because today’s atheism in America is repeating many of the same principles and yet, like Hitler, is calling everyone else, and primarily Christians, fascists or bigots. Lutzer writes to […]
To Renew America
I took a chance on buying a book by a politician and was not disappointed. Gingrich’s grasp of national things as well as his knowledge of American history is refreshing. He is surprisingly progressive and almost idealistic with his ideas of America’s future. His views on moral issues are very positive!
The Things That Matter Most
I have always appreciated Cal Thomas for being in the main stream media and yet speaking out for his obvious faith in Christ. In this book he even gets Rush Limbaugh to admit the same in the foreword. The slant of this book is unique. As he puts it, ‘‘This is a book that recalls […]
Modern Fascism
I have thought for a long time that the fall of the Roman Empire is not as important to modern America as is Nazi Germany. Think of that great nation with a Christian Reformation heritage. It only took the right kind of man at the right time to produce Nazi Germany. I made a list […]
