    Francis Beckwith is back with another book. He has written Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft.

    I’ve not yet had a chance to read it, but this may be the book people have been asking me for as a follow-up to The End of Secularism.

    I made the negative case against secularism and here Beckwith makes the positive case for a Christian politics. Amazingly, the books are priced within a penny of each other on Amazon. Bundle us up!

    In seriousness, I am really looking forward to reading this book. I profited immensely from being Francis Beckwith’s graduate student years ago and have been somewhat awestruck by a number of his previous works. Any Christian involved in politics as a citizen, candidate, critic, or office-holder would benefit from reading him. Certainly, the quality of our discourse would improve as a result.

      Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft.

      Dr. Beckwith is Catholic, obviously regards himself as Christian and Catholicism too, and I would love to read his book!

      Dr. Beckwith, will you send me a complimentary copy?

      A shameless beggar,
