We evangelicals are rightly known for our efforts to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost at home and around the world, to explore boldly new forms of worship and new church structures, and
increasingly to create agencies to care for the needy in our communities and abroad. Our churches are full and our agencies vigorous. But are we ready to follow the call of Scripture to be good citizens? Do we know how to be not simply good citizens, but good Christian citizens?

This book is for people who want to answer the call to be good
Christian citizens but are uncertain what this means in today’s world.
It goes back to basics: to Scripture and key biblical principles relevant
to our lives as Christian citizens. It then applies these principles to
specific public-policy questions that are daily in the news. It does not attempt to give a simple, supposedly “Christian,” answer to every public-policy question—and then make one feel guilty if one does not immediately embrace it. We have had too much of that. Instead, its goal is to help Christians understand basic biblical principles and then use them to live as thoughtful, conscientious citizens.
