Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says About Public Life and Why It Matters

The Bible calls us to live as disciples of Jesus in every area of our lives, including politics. But how do we live as faithful political disciples when politics has become so toxic?

Too often, Scripture's political witness is reduced to a few verses to defend our partisan political team. For some, political neutrality is the gold standard in congregational life. But if God's people refuse to pursue political discipleship, someone—or something—will disciple our politics for us.

Rather than rehashing America's current political context or attempting to offer a blueprint for contemporary political practice, this book invites listeners from across the political spectrum to rediscover the startling, strange, beautiful, and often-neglected world of biblical politics and imagine how the Bible might transform our political witness. Each chapter offers a snapshot of a different biblical text or figure—such as Esther, the Torah, Jeremiah, Paul, and Jesus—and explores how they offer us a vision of political discipleship. To help us imagine how we might move from Scripture to political action, the author includes stories of faithful political discipleship from around the world and throughout church history. Reimagining Biblical Politics empowers us to practice faithful political discipleship in our churches, neighborhoods, and communities.
