But it can be difficult to discern who to vote for, which policies to support, and how to respond to the social and cultural trends of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis nonpartisan handbook offers Christians practical guidance for thinking through complicated public issues and faithfully following Jesus as citizens of their countries. The book focuses on enduring Christian commitments that should guide readers in their judgments and encourages legitimate debate among Christians over how to live out core values. The book also includes lists of resources for further reflection in each chapter and \"room for debate\" questions to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiroslav Volf\u003c\/b\u003e (DrTheol, University of Tübingen) is the Henry B.
