Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government - Paperback

by David Millard Haskell (Author)

This book examines the relationship between Christian moral principles and political governance in Western nations, with particular emphasis on the United States and Canada. Drawing on historical records, theological sources, and social scientific research, the author presents a political framework described as "Traditional Conservatism," defined as the application of Christian norms to public law and civic life. The work critiques competing political ideologies, including progressivism, classical liberalism, and libertarianism, and traces their historical development and social effects. It includes analysis of legal traditions, national identity, immigration, and cultural cohesion, along with theological discussions concerning the relationship between church and state. Historical examples from Western societies are used to illustrate the role of Christian-informed systems of governance. The concluding chapters present practical guidance for political participation and civic organization aimed at influencing public policy.
