Have religion and politics always been so divisive? Some Christians believe we have a right—more, a responsibility—to involve ourselves in politics. Others shun any mixing of politics and faith, while still others are turned off by both. How should Christians act as citizens? Is there a clear-cut pattern we can follow? And does involvement in politics dilute the good news of the gospel for all people? In his signature, thoughtful style, Yancey tackles headlong a most contentious subject. At a time when labels define the field (red state/blue state, conservative/liberal, Tea Party/moderate), he seeks a common ground where faith and politics intersect, challenging us with five new ways to walk with grace in a world that knows all too little of it.

Yancey was born in Atlanta[3] and grew up in nearby suburbs.[4] When he was one year old, his father, stricken with polio, died after church members suggested he go off life support in faith that God would heal him. This and other negative experiences with a rigid, conservative, fundamentalist church background contributed to Yancey's losing his faith at one point and deeply questioning the established church at other times.[5][6] After high school he attended Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, where he met his wife, Janet.[7] He went on to earn graduate degrees in communications and English from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago.
