Description

Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies The world is facing unprecedented challenges, from financial crises to pandemics, and from increasing injustices to democratic chaos. How can Christians engage with the turbulent politics of our times while remaining true to the teaching and example of Jesus? Tom Wright and Michael F. Bird offer a compelling case for Christians to embody a counter-cultural witness that upholds the biblical ideals of justice, mercy, and truth. In Jesus and the Powers, Wright and Bird present a vision for Christians as agents of God's Kingdom, standing against tyrannical forces and working to cultivate flourishing liberal democracies that promote the freedom, dignity, and well-being of all people. This book challenges believers to re-examine their role in the world and to find ways to live out their faith in the midst of complex and often conflicting political realities. By exploring the transformative message of Jesus and the apostles, Wright and Bird provide a rich and insightful framework for Christian political engagement. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand how to navigate the challenges of our times with faith and integrity.
