Excerpt from text: Evangelicals and American Foreign Policy is concise, clear and honest. It ably distills a complex topic and contributes to the underdeveloped effort to unite Evangelical theology with political science. This is an excellent book for students and scholars seeking a reliable and readable guide, and it is a helpful text for Evangelicals seeking to engage their own tradition. The work itself is Janus-faced: it seeks to correct outsiders’ misconceptions about Evangelicals and to challenge believers ‘to engage public policy concerns without losing their focus on religious matters' (4). Unfortunately, the final product proves more effective at describing than building a positive conceptual program, an outcome underscoring Evangelicalism's fundamentally thin intellectual foundations.
