Evangelical Politics: Three Generations

Below is a link to a conversation that took place about a month ago at the National Pastors Convention in San Diego. Chuck Colson, Greg Boyd and Shane Claiborne all participated in a dialogue about faith and politics from the Evangelical perspective. Each member of the pannel has recently written a book on the subject: Chuck Colson - God and Government, Greg Boyd - The Myth of a Christian Nation, and Shane Claiborne - Jesus for President.

This conversation is very engaging and very thought provoking. I highly recommend the longer version found about a scrolls length down on the website. There is also a video download available for those who like to watch their speakers and see facial expressions. Being that I'm a bit obsessed with the topic of faith and politics I've listened or watched all three (the 60 minute version, the 90 minute version and the 90 minute video version).

In a previous post I recommended Shane's Jesus for President. At this time let me recommend The Myth of a Christian Nation by Greg Boyd. This book has rocked my understanding of faith and caused me to ask some serious questions about what it means to be a follower of Jesus in America. I bought the book for my dad for Christmas, so it goes without saying that I strongly recommend it. I plan on reading Colson's God and Government this summer, so a review will come later.

Grace and peace and tons of questions to you who are brave enough to think critically about your faith and how it affects your thoughts on politics.
