"Skillen has made an important contribution to the growing body of serious evangelical political thought. This book is a masterful articulation of a profoundly Christian political philosophy-one developed in a sophisticated conversation with a broad range of the most important shapers of Western culture."
-Ronald J. Sider, Palmer Seminary, Eastern University
"The Good of Politics offers needed wisdom for an age tempted to despair about the possibility of anything good coming from politics. Skillen draws deeply from biblical sources and major streams of the Christian tradition in the service of a distinctively positive vision of civic responsibility for our common life. This accessible text by one of the most engaged Protestant political thinkers of his generation should find an important place in colleges, seminaries, and churches."
