Chalice Press, Jul 30, 2010 - Religion - 160 pages
Split Ticket takes on one of the most critical issues in the public eye right now: the complicated relationship between religious belief and political engagement. This collection of essays reflects the many different perspectives on this subject, not only on the reductive "liberal-conservative" axis, but also by taking the diversity of American Christianity (and America) into consideration. Each essay concludes with thought-provoking questions.
