Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government

By: Haskell, David Millard

This book examines the relationship between Christian moral principles and political

governance in Western nations, with particular emphasis on the United States and

Canada. Drawing on historical records, theological sources, and social scientific

research, the author presents a political framework described as "Traditional

Conservatism," defined as the application of Christian norms to public law and civic life.

The work critiques competing political ideologies, including progressivism, classical

liberalism, and libertarianism, and traces their historical development and social effects.

It includes analysis of legal traditions, national identity, immigration, and cultural

cohesion, along with theological discussions concerning the relationship between

church and state. Historical examples from Western societies are used to illustrate the

role of Christian-informed systems of governance. The concluding chapters present

practical guidance for political participation and civic organization aimed at influencing

public policy.
