Synopsis
Al Saunders addresses scholarly challenges to the historical reality and purpose of Jesus' ministry, passion, and resurrection, and major issues confronting Christian faith today in the "public square." Providing a background in scripture, church history, theology, ethics, and political philosophy, he calls for an impelling sense of moral obligation to confront false idolatries and a current decline of American culture.
