Citizenship Without Illusions: review 2

As I indicated recently, three reviews of my new book have already appeared online. Here is the second: Citizenship Without Illusions [a review], by Ben Makuh. Here are a couple of excerpts:

I'm not going to bury the lede: this is a phenomenal little book about Christian political engagement. . . .

Koyzis writes from a Reformed perspective, but without the grating tone of self-assured cockiness that can often take. Instead, it strikes me as the best of what the Reformed perspective can be: rooted in Scripture with an eye toward engagement in the world while recognizing that there are other traditions that think about things in different ways. Koyzis demonstrates an admirable posture of speaking his own convictions but with charity and a willingness to understand those who disagree with him.

It is the rare review that elicits from the author both appreciation and amusement. This one does the job rather well.
