Arguing that Americans make political choices in terms of a general
notion of right and wrong, yet lack a sound, objective foundation
for such values, evangelical scholar Stephen Mott formulates a
Christian political theory that supplies such norms. Drawing on
theological and biblical sources, Mott thoroughly develops the
biblical and theological foundations for politics and political
evaluation. Mott proposes that political philosophies should be
evaluated in light of Christian theological and ethical
values--specifically the understanding of power, human nature, the
nature of group life, justice and love, government, and time. He
then applies this critical framework in an evaluation of political
ideologies, including traditional conservatism, liberalism,
democracy, laissez-faire conservatism, Marxist socialism, and
democratic socialism. He gives special attention to their classical
exponents and ideas. Asserting that political visions ultimately
depend on cultural values that themselves require vigorous
religious faith in a particular society, Mott's study offers a
valuable introduction to Christian political thought as well as an
illuminating look at the connection between politics and religion.
