I think this looks like an interesting book. It discusses how religious beliefs intercept political beliefs. It's subtitled "Why the right gets it wrong and the left doesn't get it." I think that sums it up pretty well. Anyway, I think it looks like a good book. Especailly for people who think that Christian == Republican.
You can read the first chapter here.
This is a paragraph written about it from this site.
"God's Politics offers a clarion call to make both our religious communities and our government more accountable to key values of the prophetic religious tradition - that is, make them pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-environment, pro-equality, pro-consistent ethic of life (beyond single issue voting), and pro-family (without making scapegoats of single mothers or gays and lesbians). These are the values of love and justice, reconciliation, and community that Jesus taught and that are at the core of what many of us believe, Christian or not."
