Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals
What should Christians do when allegiances to the state clash with personal faith? How can and should Christians relate to presidents and kings, empire and government? In Jesus for President, Shaine Claiborne and Chris Haw, co-founders of a monastic community in Philadelphia, take the reader on an entertaining yet provocative tour of the Bible's social and economic order. They also provide a valuable political context for Christ's life, reminding readers that Jesus did not preach the need to put God back into government—he urged his followers to live by a different set of rules altogether, to hold themselves apart as peculiar people.
