We live in an increasingly hostile political climate, and even within the church we can find the signs of political division. Yet the truth of the matter is that political dialogue has been around for millennia-even in the epic tales of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses-and the social and political issues during the time of Jesus's public ministry are not that different from those we are encountering presently. Pulpit Friction looks at the challenges facing the church today as it seeks to strike a balance between its prophetic call and the political and social issues causing so much turmoil in our world. Author Ken Kinton offers both biblical and historical insights in an attempt to help Christians and the secular world live more harmoniously. In order for the church to have a meaningful impact on our nation's political process, it needs to contribute to the political integrity of the process. By learning more about the church's role in shaping political discourse, we as Christians can together become agents of positive change.
