{"product_id":"political-gospel-public-witness-in-a-politically-crazy-world-9781087755175","title":"Political Gospel: Public Witness in a Politically Crazy World","description":"Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we either \u003ci\u003eprivatize\u003c\/i\u003e our faith or make it \u003ci\u003epartisan\u003c\/i\u003e. We think religion and politics should be separate and never intermingle, or we align so tightly with a political party that we conflate the gospel with a human agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePolitical Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is political--Jesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a supercharged political climate, \u003ci\u003ePolitical Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. Should we submit to governing authorities or subvert them? Are we to view them as agents of the dark forces or entities that promote order? In these pages, we'll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we'll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Schreiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;H Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.58w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781087755175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Schreiner \u003c\/b\u003e(PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is associate professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri.
