This book digs into how churches have used their influence throughout history, from political alliances to economic power plays.

You'll see real-world cases of how regimes, governments, and social movements have shaped church policies—and how the church, in turn, has responded.

It also looks at the ethical side of church involvement in politics and money.

From wealth and fundraising to social justice and legal battles, these chapters give a straight-up look at the complex role religion plays in shaping societies—and how churches strategize in a changing world.
