Current selection (Jan/Feb 2025): N.T. Wright and Michael Bird, Jesus and the Powers: Christian Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies (2024).

Should Christians be involved in politics? In an age of ascending autocracies, in a time of fear and fragmentation, amid carnage and crises, Jesus is king, and Jesus’s kingdom remains the object of the Church’s witness and work. The critical key is to discern the true nature of Christian witness in fractured political environments. Wright & Bird’s recent book is receiving a lot of attention among thoughtful Christians. Wherever you place yourself on the religious and political spectrums, there’s much  to grapple with in this timely book.
