Summary: Vintage Colson - Makes You Think and Not Just Feel!
Comment: Like Colson's other books, Kingdoms in Conflict challenges you to think deeply about what and why you believe.
The title focuses on the precarious balance Christians experience between heavy involvement and no involvement in politics. Colson's thesis seems to be that Christians need to maintain a balance - being in the world while not being of the world and Christians must be a light to the world and salt of the earth.
Colson uses the examples of Christian involvement (and lack of) in resisting Hitler, Marcos, and other brutal figures in history to illustrate the importance of Christians being involved in the political process without being consumed by the power that goes with politics.
Read and be encouraged to be rightly involved in politics while remembering that ultimately we are citizens of another kingdom to come that will last forever!

Summary: Elaborates on Truth
Comment: Colson takes a topic that has been discussed by Christians ever since the disciples questioned Jesus about it when He was in Galilee with them, i.e., the role of God's kingdom and that of man's. Colson contends that the kingdom of God is within a person. It is not an external means of control exercised by political power. In the Epilogue he cites Winston Churchill's last words, "there is no hope." But Colson counters that statement by explaining that spiritual things are not based on the circumstances of this present world.
On the other side of the coin, however, Colson presents specific examples throughout history where Christian have actively been involved in politics and government because of their belief in the eternal, unseen kingdom of God within. Having an awareness of things eternal, while contributing in this life is the balance he is seeking to describe.

Summary: One of the best Christian books I have read
Comment: This book helped formulate my theology concerning political affairs. Colson talks of the need for Christians to engage with the World but not to be a part of the world and deals with the different attempts by the state in various ways to deal with the Church across the globe, from banning prayers in assmebly in the US, to the persecution of the Churches in Eatsern Europe during the Cold War
