Is the Fallwell era of Christian political engagement over? Russell Moore, in the Wall Street Journal is the latest (and probably most prominent) in a movement of theologically conservative Christian thinkers who argue that the alliance was always uneasy. He says that Christians should not be “mascots” for political factions; we should instead remember that one day there will be a last Congress of the United States and shift our focus away from politics. This is not an argument for accommodation or withdrawal: it is a call for transcending the wisdom of this world.
