In this article, Mark Amstutz examines and assesses the political role of Christian churches in South Africa during the era of apartheid. Based on the South African experience, he illuminates dangers and possibilities in developing a faithful church witness in politics. Mr. Amstutz is Professor of Political Science at Wheaton College.
