Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

As American political thought polarizes into mutually exclusive viewpoints on the role of religion in politics, Marshall (Their Blood Cries Out: The Untold Story of Persecution Against Christians in the Modern World) attempts to help both sides understand the Christian concept of politics. Drawing on scriptural scholarship as well as modern thinking in both Catholic and Protestant churches, the author shows the relevance of religion in the political arena. Believers, he says, must adapt their concepts to the modern world, and secularists must respect the insights that faith-based values can provide without reflexively condemning or dismissing them. A senior fellow at the Center for Religious Freedom in Washington, DC, Marshall is not merely rehashing Christian positions on issues, nor is he advocating theocracy. Readers will find food for thought no matter where they stand on the issues, as he insightfully addresses such subjects as church and state, religious freedom, democracy, and rights. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

3.0 out of 5 stars Raises doubts about the value of Pieper's prudence teachings, March 13, 2004
In this book, Paul Marshall sets out to apply Christian principles to American legal issues, allegedly in accordance with the teachings of Josef Pieper.

For perhaps related reasons, Marshall talks about Christianity's jurisprudential implications only on a superficial level.

Would Pieper have approved of this superficial approach? Maybe. Nevertheless, I feel it expresses too little spirituality to achieve Marshall's main purpose. I suppose that Marshall, in the shadow of US legal/cultural institutions, is afraid that sharing profound ideas about Scripture may alienate his reactionary audience. But anyway, I appreciate GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION for what it is: a non-spiritual rough sketch of an intriguing philosophy of law.
