Yet Christians have hadtheir differences as to how human government and the church should bring about a just social order. Although Christians share many deep and significant theological convictions, differences that threaten to divide them have often surrounded the matterof how the church collectively and Christians individually ought to engage the public square. What is the mission of the church? What is the purpose of human government? How ought they to be related to each other? How should social injustice be redressed?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five noted contributors to this Spectrum volume answer these questions from within their distinctive Christian theological traditions, as well as responding to the other four positions.
