Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough.

Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we eitherprivatizeour faith or make itpartisan. 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.

InPolitical Gospel, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is politicalJesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box.

In a supercharged political climate,Political Gospelexplores 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, well see that Christians live in a paradox, and well see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.
