Reviews

[Luke · Rating 5 out of 5]

A compilation of speeches, interviews and writings, and conclusively and evidently, Enoch once again sets out a well informed and logical argument, separates politics from Christianity and indeed deals with some of the more adventurous questions on Christianity too with success. Very good. Certainly is only of interest to Christians and those with interest in Enoch, but I suppose due to being Christian and having much interest in Enoch aids my enjoyment. Not a doorstopper either and does not tire you or indeed bore you with superfluous comments - like much writing, really, it's not the reserve of politicians to blabber...

[Sheldon Press] (1973). Second Impression. HB/DJ. 135 Pages.

16 fascinating essays, interviews and speeches exploring the tense and ambiguous relationship between Christianity and statesmanship.

“There is no neat division and distinction between the religious duty and the civic duty… the religious duty is 100%… over and over again asserted by Christ… it is so painful to hear it… the deliberate impracticability… We are made to live in the face of an impossible demand all the time.”

(Matthew 19.16).
