American Government in Christian Perspective

by William R. Bowen, George T. Thompson, Michael R. Lowman

One semester course. A conservative, Christian perspective makes this government course unique. Students need the firm foundation this text provides to become informed, responsible citizens and voters in today’s world.

American Government opens with an inspiring look at the blessings we enjoy and the symbols we hold dear as American citizens. At the core of the text is a fascinating study of the Constitution, the government it established, and the rights and privileges it guarantees the American people. After studying the Constitution and the national government, students learn about federalism and government at the state and local levels. The text concludes with a chapter on the opportunities and responsibilities of American citizens to get involved in their unique political system.

Note: State and Local Government is designed to accompany American Government as a study outline for students to fill in with information about their own state, county, and locality.

it had a pretty good christian perspective and overall fine government course but besides that it seemed to have a weird bias against things like the EPA and OSHA for wasting business' time and money by setting too many regulations. like it spent a long time complaining about regulations that are meant to protect workers and the environment.. lol...........

I used this book for both of my children during their senior year in school for their government class. It is a very easy read and excels in explaining the inner workings of the American government. The Teacher guide is exceptionally helpful.

Protestant perspective throughout, which is key to understanding the United States. I am giving this an extra star because it provides a good overall basis for how the government operates here.
