What the Reviewers are Saying

Skillen leads the reader on a tour of the present landscape of Christianity.… This book draws the reader into the current debate by providing some basic conceptual tools, some fundamental questions, and the benefit of the author’s knowledge… those who seek a Christian political perspective informed by political science will be greatly enriched.
Gregory Bezilla, Dept. of Political Science, Columbia University

Skillen provides the scorecard one might need for identifying the players presenting competing "Christian" political options today. He also offers valuable critiques and suggests an alternative worth contemplating.
George M. Marsden, Professor of History, Duke University

The Scattered Voice is a book that could easily command significant market as a text for the many courses in religion and politics . . . it is a fine critical study, judicious and sophisticated.
W.C. McWilliams, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers

With a practiced eye, James Skillen dissects contending views of Christians struggling to "render unto Caesar." His own balanced synthesis brings together these disparate strands into a truly meaningful tapestry.
Bruce MacLaury, President, the Brookings Institution

Excellent - required reading for anyone interested in the interaction of faith and politics today.
Ronald J. Sider, Professor, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary

An excellent overall picture of current Christian political thought and involvement.
