Where are people of faith to turn?</p><p><br></p><p>For most of the last two thousand years Christians have believed that God deals with nations as nations and enters into closer relations with societies that claim him as Lord. This belief in the national covenant, only recently out of fashion, is where Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr. turned when faced with such questions in their own time.</p><p><br></p><p>This anthology explores the theme of national covenant in scripture, history, and contemporary American society as well as the theology and practices of covenant communities.

It will speak to those American Christians, whether evangelical, mainline, or Catholic, who are deeply concerned about the racial divide in our country and want to be active in furthering the justice and reconciliation for which we all hunger."</p><p><br></p><p>- Wilfred M.
