An era has ended. The political movement that most
galvanized evangelicals for more than a quarter-century,
the Religious Right, is fading away. What lies ahead is
unclear. Into this uncertainty, former White House
insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner call evangelicals
toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is
better both for the church and the country, a kind that
cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that
avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Right
and the Religious Left. A product of the authors' own
wrestling with the complicated relationship between religion
and politics, City of Man assesses the past, surveys the
present, and deals with questions central to evangelicals'
future political role, including: * How can religious
people exercise influence while maintaining their
integrity? * What tone should they be known
for? * How should they think about the role and
purpose of government? * Which causes and issues,
both at home and abroad, ought to be a part of their
agenda? Incisive, bold, and marked equally by
pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner's book charts a
new political future not just for civic-minded Christians
and "values voters," but for the nation as a whole.
