Herron weaves together the conceptual framework of political theology with the folkways of local and state politics in Tennessee. This book, while simple, renewed a complex desire in me for politics to be about the common good in our shared life together, even as we try to bear witness to a certain vision of the good. Worth the quick read that it is.

Toxic, vapid centrism at its worst. It's easy to assume a "if this, then that" perspective when one's entire worldview is informed only by a most unimaginative neo-liberal politic. Large swaths of the political system are entirely ignored in this book.

Good read! Made a well argued case why politics matters and why Christians ought to be in the thick of it. A good counter-companion to Wayne Grudem's "Politics According to the Bible." ;)
