    “Whether you read that as a literal fall or not?”…? There’s no such thing as a Christian who believes Adam didn’t “fall short of the glory of God” in the garden.

      The goal of the authors was not really to define who is a Christian and who is not.

      @@vinceendris regardless, if a book is compatible with a theology that does not recognize the fall, it’s outside the Christian tradition.
      I’m not sure if your summary just didn’t have time to cover it, but a book written on the relationship between Christians and government that does not reference the cultural mandate, the Noahic covenant, common grace, the Great Commission, or Peters instructions in his epistles on civility just doesn’t even scratch the surface of the topic.
      Lastly, and this needs to be separated from the list above, how can this sort of book not even mention God’s law? I’m not a Theonomist and believe Christian Nationalism is misguided at best, dangerous at worst, and yet even I believe there can be no metric for what is good and what is evil than God’s law. That has to be the metric, because it’s objective, not subjective like the notion of love.
