Adventists have always walked a fine line between calling attention to important societal issues of the day — such as temperance and poverty — and avoiding any involvement in partisan politics. Following in that tradition, nine highly qualified experts have joined together to share their insights and provide clarity on some of today's most pertinent church and state issues.

Politics and Prophecy, a new book published by Pacific Press, tackles issues such as religious freedom in the workplace and the marriage debate, and delves into the role of religious freedom in prophecy.

"This book is based on the conviction that there is more to modern cultural-war battles than can be understood through mere political analysis or moral discourse, but that a prophetic perspective is essential," says Alan Reinach, contributor to and editor of Politics and Prophecy. Reinach serves as the director for Public Affairs and Religious Liberty at the Pacific Union.

Politics and Prophecy is an in-depth biblical and historical look at religious freedom and what it means today. "It is a timely asset that will help Adventists and other Christians know how to relate to many of today's public issues," says Dale Galusha, president of Pacific Press.

Politics and Prophecy is available at any local Adventist Book Center, or by calling 800-765-6955, as well as online at www.AdventistBookCenter.com.
