Between a rock and a hard place

SUBJECT: "The author shares his struggles of being a Christian while involved in politics. He is former governor and senator from the State of Oregon. Impelled to find direction for his life, Senator Hatfield combed Old and New Testaments as well as early church history for what they had to say of the Christian's relation to the state: the priorities of allegiance, 'just' wars, civil disobedience, hunger and poverty, environmental stewardship. He explains the theological roots of his thought and action."
