Bill Edgar identified four things (at least that I can find) as being unique Christian contributions to politics. Earlier Bill wrote: “Do we bring anything to this discussion that unbelievers do not? Yes. We bring two things: a correct view of man as noble, fallen, and some of them redeemed in Christ, and the knowledge [...]

The Mixed Blessing of Liberalism
Posted in Corporate Confession on March 25, 2007 | 16 Comments »
In the discussion thread of my last post Caleb purposefully tried to confuse me by quoting from Voegelin whose prose and terms would make gnostics proud for the sort of inner-knowledge one needs to decipher them. (I am joking, mainly. I do find Voegelin very taxing to read.) But Caleb also asked what sort of [...]
Christianity Politically Useless?
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith on March 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Bill Edgar In Chapter 1 of his book, Hart states a thesis: “My argument is that the basic teachings of Christianity are virtually useless for resolving America’s political disputes.” (p. 11) Christianity “is an essentially otherworldly faith.” (p. 16) The teachings of Christianity, however, are quite germane to resolving the issue that has roiled American [...]
Our man DGH in The American Conservative

These days our man Darryl Hart is ubiquitous. Here he is at The American Conservative with an article Leftward Christian Soldiers. DGH at his best (actually he is at his best when he is talking about the Church but that is another blog)!
Christianity Apolitical?
Posted in Corporate Confession, Hart's Secular Faith on March 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »
HHarrington In the preface Hart writes, “I start from the premise that Christianity is an apolitical faith…” I appreciate the publisher’s supply the book for review and wish to hear Hart out. Accordingly I have read it carefully, cover to cover. However, had I not so promised, that stated premise whould likely led me to [...]
The Crunchy Con on Church and Culture

Rod Dreher has an interesting post on Seperation of church and culture featuring discussion of Ken Myers and Mars Hill.
New Oxford Review of A Secular Faith
Posted in Conservatism, Hart's Secular Faith on March 23, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The Newman-ite New Oxford Review has reviewed A Secular Faith. Worth reading as I think the word “C”atholic can be read “c”atholic (or even replaced with Covenanter).
A Hole in the Wall?
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith on March 21, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Darryl’s introduction seems like an odd place to begin for a conservative. His defense of the “seperation of church and state” seems so late 20th Century. I guess that Darryl is just being true to his Jeffersonian tendencies. After all, it was Jefferson who gave us the wall of seperation metaphor. I appreciate Jefferson’s localism [...]
Throwing Down the Gauntlet
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith on March 19, 2007 | 26 Comments »
When I entered seminary in 1979, American evangelicals were still fighting over inerrancy. But then Ronald Reagan happened. The GOP figured a way to capitalize on the God vote, and evangelicals gave up the Battle for the Bible to fight the culture wars. As A Secular Faith argues in the introduction, the surge of believers [...]
A Secular Faith… Welcome to the Discussion
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith on March 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Welcome to De Regno Christi’s discussion of D. G. Hart’s new book A Secular Faith: Why Christianity Favors the Separation of Church and State. A special thanks should be offered to publisher Ivan Dee for making review books available to our contributors. Also, thanks to Darryl Hart for his willingness to use the DRC blog [...]
