God, Caesar, and Idols Rick D. Boyer

Once "one nation under God," America today is desperately sick. And the Church seems to have no answers.

How can a nation so "churched" be so untouched by the Gospel? Why has "the Glory departed," leaving a nation racked by political hatred, drug addiction, and shattered families? God, Caesar, and Idols asks these questions and calls the Church to seek God's Word for answers.

Too many Christians no longer make political choices on the basis of eternal truth, but instead make them on the basis of purely financial considerations. It's time for the Church to break its addiction to humanistic, government schooling and instead "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

This book challenges the Church to reject "cheap grace" and the easy temptation to be "tolerant" of society's rebellion. We must again honor the authority of God's Word and embrace the life-altering power available when we reject our cultural idols and proclaim "the whole counsel of God" without compromise.

Armed with careful scriptural exegesis and supported by the words of great Christians from church history, God, Caesar, and Idols encourages the American Church to again "contend for the faith" in today's culture-whatever the cost.
