The Mighty and the Almighty: How Political Leaders Do God - Hardcover
by Nick Spencer (Author)
It is striking how many global political leaders are Christian believers and how far their faith shapes and is shaped by their politics. This collection documents the Christian background of these leaders, how it has informed their political values and agenda, their priorities, and their rhetoric; and what all this says about Christianity and contemporary political power. Politicians featured include: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, and Stephen Harper.
