While I did not agree with every conclusion drawn, I very much
appreciated Mr. Monsma's approach. His appeal to think biblically when
approaching politics really challenges many of the common views held
among American evangelicals (such as the erroneous "christian nation"
view). In particular, I love how he points out that the right tends to
care very much about the unborn, while neglecting those very children
after they are born, and the left does the opposite. I also liked his
explanation on church and state separation. He points out that if we are
advocating our own rights at the expense of the rights of others, we
are not acting in accordance with Scripture, and that, I believe, is the
best contribution I've heard to the discussion in a very long time.
