I'm reading The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power is Destroying the Church by Greg Boyd. The book does a great job contrasting the Kingdom of God to the kingdoms of this world, and it lays out the negative effects of politicizing our Christian faith. It was written around the 2004 election but is very timely to read in this 2012 presidential election year!
"The kingdom of God is not a Christian version of the kingdom of the world. It is, rather, a holy alternative to all versions of the kingdom of the world."
