All Is Not As It Seems: Random Reflections on Faith, Ethics, and Politics

By Allan R. Bevere

Discussion is part and parcel of daily life. Whether the subject is religion or politics or local happenings, human beings are constantly interacting with each other on matters mundane and momentous.Based on the two necessary convictions that discourse must be civil and that one's views matter, Allan R. Bevere reflects randomly on various issues that concern faith, ethics, and politics. He does so with conviction and with civility, neither of which is mutually exclusive. The hoped for result is lively and passionate discussion set in the context of a mannerly and gracious atmosphere.The sources for these essays come from different places. Some are based directly on biblical texts; others come from the happenstance of current events or are drawn from the faded pages of history. Dr. Bevere offers his reflections on a wide variety of subjects from the nature of a good death to taking time for the trivial, from the lessons of the Battle of Gettysburg to the place of the church in politics.
