Book Description
A Public Faith is refreshingly different. Charles Drew has written a challenging book-not about what Christians should think regarding social and political issues-but about how to develop practical biblical convictions. This book gives a much needed call to action without politicizing the church. Charles Drew's balanced approach gives Christians a solid, biblical foundation for making decisions. Drew shows how Christians can make a difference in their world by developing the qualities of servanthood, cooperation, diversity, integrity, and simplicity. He also addresses the controversial area of civil disobedience, and the foundational area of the church's role in the world.
