A nuanced examination of America's legacy of scriptural language is provided in Kaitlyn Schiess' book, The Ballot and the Bible. Christianity Today 2024 Book Award Finalist (Politics and Public Life) examines how Bible verses written thousands of years ago apply to politics today, what we may learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics, and how we may communicate with people whose opinions differ from our own. Schiess examines instances of how Americans have linked the Bible to politics in the past, emphasizing both instances when it was used effectively and times when it was grossly abused. She combines American political history and biblical interpretation to assist readers in reading Scripture faithfully, discussing it with others, and applying it to modern political concerns. Instead of telling readers what to believe about particular hot-button topics, Schiess outlines fundamental biblical themes such as power, allegiance, national identity, and others. Readers will be motivated to engage in political activity on a biblical foundation with compassion and assurance.
