This book is a brilliant construction of political ethics at the borderlines of theology and political theory. The book offers a valuable approach to political theology and deftly maps the terrain of the ideological debates between liberal and conservative Christians on the important question of state and society relations in the United States. This is an essential book for Christian social ethics and America's political thought. -- Nimi Wariboko, Boston University Christianity, Politics, and the Predicament of Evil offers a fresh take on an old debate about the nature and purposes of politics given eschatological hope under conditions of sin. Critically rooted in classical theology as well as Protestant social ethics, Burroughs' hybrid Augustinian-Wesleyan approach to soulcraft and statecraft loosens the grip of familiar alternatives in speaking to the concrete challenges of a new generation. -- Eric Gregory, Princeton University
