But Christians report to a different king.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis issue starts with a provocation. \u003c\/b\u003eIn his opening letter, editor Peter Mommsen suggests Christians are too excited about the wrong politics: \"Questions of public justice should matter deeply to Christians. We dare not be indifferent about securing healthcare for all and ending interventionist wars; we must seek to reduce abortions and strengthen families. When an election comes, we should pray and then, perhaps, lend our support to a candidate we judge may, on balance, advance social righteousness. But if the early Christians and the Anabaptists are right, this isn't the politics that matters most. And so, as a matter of faithfulness, we should question how much it deserves of our passion and time. Our allegiance belongs elsewhere.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn contrast to an election campaign, \u003c\/b\u003ethis politics may feel grittier and less glamorous. This issue of Plough Quarterly explores what this alternate vision of faithful Christian witness in the political sphere might look like. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou'll find articles on: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat two leading political theorists of left and right agree on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat persecution taught Anabaptists about politics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bruderhof's interactions with the state\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolstoy's case against making war more humane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow some Christians read Romans 13 under fascism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornel West, Robert P.
