Jesus for President
Politics for Ordinary Radicals
By Chris Haw, Shane Claiborne | Publisher: Zondervan
About the book
Do the church and politics ever go together?
Jesus for President is a radical manifesto--more urgent today than ever--to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people \"set apart\" from this world.
This collaboration between Shane Claiborne's writing and stories, Chris Haw's reflections and research, and Chico Fajardo-Heflin's 4-color art and design creates lyrical theology that poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message.
This one-of-a-kind book includes:
- Messages drawn from biblical theologians
- Lessons from church history
- Examples from modern-day saints and ordinary radicals
- A poetic and illustrative perspective of faith
This book is perfect for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and represent the kingdom of God.
Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar. A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of \"Should I vote or not?\" and \"Which candidate?\" by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance.
