I would suggest anyone interested in this issue read Francis Schaeffer’s “A Christian Manifesto”. The book analyzes this issue extensively.

While Schaeffer was helpful, he had his issues as well. Because he was not fully engaged with biblical law as the basis for a just society, he bounced between the extreme views of capitulation and resistance.

Unfortunately, Schaeffer left behind an unfinished legacy. He knew where the answer was, but he was unable, within the confines of his own methodology and his premillennial eschatology, to see it through. It’s a shame that Schaeffer will best be remembered for his advocation of Christian resistance and not Christian reconstruction.
