How about, since this is Appeal To The Religious Week, just saying that gutting SS is a pretty poor way to "Honor thy Father and Mother?" dd =================== Here's the website for the Association of Christian Economists. You have no choice on this if you want to be strategic: http://www.gordon.edu/ace/ http://www.gordon.edu/ace/aceNews.html I would recall also the Evangelical who did incredible work on taxation in Alabama. There's also been quite a few good texts that take historical sociology-political economy and use them as tools to analyze Biblical history. They suspend the issues of Christology etc. quite well. Some have even gone so far as to use Eric Hobsbawm's theory of banditry to inform their analyses. Here are three worth a peek [ I have them and they're quite good]: Bandits, Prophets, and Messiahs: Popular Movements in the Time of Jesus; Richard A. Horsley, John S. Hanson Jesus and Empire: The Kingdom of God and the New World Disorder; Richard A. Horsley [a great anti-imperial polemic, btw] Jesus, Justice, and the Reign of God: A Ministry of Liberation: William R. Herzog
