But how do we live as faithful political disciples when politics has become so toxic?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eReimagining Biblical Politics\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● explore Scripture's political vision throughout the biblical text;\u003cbr\u003e● encounter biblical texts or figures--such as Esther, the Torah, Jeremiah, Paul, the midwives of Exodus, and Jesus--as models of faithful political discipleship; and\u003cbr\u003e● learn from stories of courageous political witness throughout church history and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReimagining Biblical Politics\u003c\/i\u003e isn't another rehash of America's current political context or a blueprint for contemporary political practice. Instead, it invites readers from across the political spectrum to rediscover the startling, strange, beautiful, and often-neglected world of biblical politics. Each chapter offers a snapshot of a different biblical text or figure and explores how it offers a vision of political discipleship for today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a foreword by Carmen Joy Imes, this book helps us reimagine how the Bible might transform our political witness and empowers us to practice faithful political discipleship in our churches, neighborhoods, and communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael J.
