Acerca de esta escucha

An urgent call for Christians everywhere to explore the nature of the kingdom amid the political upheaval of our day.

Should Christians be politically withdrawn, avoiding participation in politics to maintain their prophetic voice and to keep from being used as political pawns? Or should Christians be actively involved, seeking to utilize political systems to control the levers of power?

In Jesus and the Powers, N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird call Christians everywhere to discern the nature of Christian witness in fractured political environments. In an age of ascending autocracies, in a time of fear and fragmentation, amid carnage and crises, Jesus is king, and Jesus’s kingdom remains the object of the church's witness and work.

Part political theology, part biblical overview, and part church history, this book argues that building for Jesus's kingdom requires confronting empire in all its forms. This approach should orient Christians toward a form of political engagement that contributes to free democratic societies and vigorously opposes political schemes based on autocracy and nationalism. Throughout, Wright and Bird reflect on the relevance of this kingdom-oriented approach to current events, including the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the China-Taiwan tension, political turmoil in the USA, UK, and Australia, and the problem of Christian nationalism.

Definitely worth a read/listen!.


I especially like that the authors noted that neither have lived under a totalitarian government, or other authoritarian government. And how they explained that how they lived or suffered under such a government that some of the reviews may be different.

I also enjoy the inclusion of quotations from people who were outside of the traditional western viewpoint. I would’ve loved to have actually heard more of these.

Arise, arise oh sleeper…. Time to speak truth to power

An excellent discussion of the true building of the kingdom and by doing so a mirror and warning to the temptations of the powers of this world. Less history repeat itself consider this a warning of the consequences of falling under its spell.

A call to action for the Christian

An in-depth study as well as a call to action for Christians to approach politics and current events in light of the crucified and risen King, who reigns over all nations. The authors build a strong case for an approach to government that is theologically & politically thoughtful. Their words will challenge anyone seeking to follow Jesus in the 21st century. This approach is also a practical one for those whose aim is to seek to first God’s upside-down, already-but-not-yet Kingdom, no matter which temporary borders happen to surround you.
