Event: Reimagining Biblical Politics

Christians are called to live as disciples of Jesus in every area of life, including our public and political lives. But how do we do this when politics can seem so complicated and even toxic? In his new book Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says about Public Life and Why It Matters, Michael J. Rhodes explores the startling, strange, beautiful, and often-neglected world of biblical politics. While Rhodes argues that the Bible’s political witness is united in its claim that God reigns, Scripture also paints a strikingly diverse picture of the various ways God’s people live out their allegiance to God both as an outpost of God’s kingdom and in their interactions with nations, places, cultures, and contexts that do not acknowledge God’s reign and way.

This KLC webinar will include a short presentation by Rhodes on key themes from the book, as well as responses to portions of the book from M. Daniel Carroll R., Dennis R. Edwards, Ellen F. Davis, and Kaitlyn Schiess, and a significant time for audience Q&A. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to explore how Scripture can help us reimagine political discipleship.
