After exploring how the political theology of this movement has structured Evangelical thought and action in global affairs, the book examines how Evangelicals have approached global poverty, relations with Israel, and a variety of other foreign policy initiatives. In view of the increasing political advocacy of Evangelical groups, the book concludes by offering recommendations for strengthening Evangelical global engagement.Religion and international relationsUnited StatesEvangelicalismPolitical aspectsUnited StatesChristianity and politicsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsReligious aspectsReligion and international relationsEvangelicalismPolitical aspectsChristianity and politics261.7Amstutz Mark R675575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818985103321Evangelicals and American foreign policy4120838UNINA
