In America's political lexicon, republicanism and democracy have become synonymous. On the contrary, they are different. Very different. Paul Gentry explores the relationship of each ideology with Christianity and with America's founding and progress. Gentry examines the role republicanism played in shaping America's social and political institutions, and contrasts it to the impact democracy has had on them. In recent history, American Christians have expressed alarm at public policy that seems tailored to the abridgement of their freedom to worship and to the harassment of their church. In the wake of recent high court decisions impacting the freedom of American Christians to worship unmolested by the state, the author posits that democracy is the reason for this assault on the faith, and that, through most of America's history, this form of government has lain at the heart of the sociopolitical division and unrest in the United states, including the division and complacency within the church. In Their Harried Faith, Gentry calls America's faithful to national awareness, as has been their tradition since the eve of their Revolution, the one era in which Americans truly were liberated from an oppressive state.
