Beyond Good Intentions: A Biblical View of Politics

Beyond Good Intentions brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to the question of how Christianity and politics interrelate. Author Doug Bandow believes the key lies in the correct use of the Bible in addressing public policy issues. Too often Christians either ignore or misapply the Bible in the political arena. Beyond Good Intentions is a much-needed corrective which takes the Bible seriously yet avoids proof-texting and questionable interpretive methods.

DOUG BANDOW is a former Presidential Policy Analyst. He is a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, a Washington think tank, and a nationally syndicated columnist with Copley News Service.
