POL 211 Christianity and American Politics
Since the founding of the colonies Americans have to some degree or another integrated their religion and politics. In recent decades, disagreements over the relationship between American politics and Christianity have inspired various groups, Christian and secular alike, to rethink the traditional models. This class will read relevant texts related to this issue and travel to Washington, DC, to participate in the National Association of Evangelical’s Christian Student Leadership Conference. Students will listen to social and political leaders discuss key issues and policies that relate to Christian thought and culture. (3 credits)
