Hopeful Realism : Evangelical Natural Law and Democratic Politics
Outline : During a time when Political Conversations are marked by deep polarization and difficult decision-making, what resources do evangelicals have to think faithfully about public life! Political theorists Jesse Covington, Bryan T. McGraw, and Micah Watson point to the natural law as a crucial resource for Christian political thought, a rich tradition too often neglected by evangelicals. Grounded in the hope and realism of Scripture, their evangelical natural law theory is steeped in moral conviction and oriented toward practical political decision-making in democratic politics. This book shows how an evangelical natural law framework is relevant to all dimensions of political life, with case studies speaking specifically into debates about the economy, marriage, war, and religious liberty. Hopeful Realism is a generous guide for evangelicals concerned with bringing their theological commitments to bear on their political judgments. With their volume that brings together robust theory with practical cases, Covington, McGraw, and Watson show how evangelicals can participate as evangelicals in a pluralistic, often polarized democracy.
