Synopsis
A thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and politics, Exiles asks: What if we considered ourselves "exiles in Babylon" and turned to Scripture, not political parties, to shape our most passionate values? <p/> Politics are dividing our churches like never before. New York Times-bestselling author Dr. Preston M. Sprinkle reminds us that the first-century church was not an apolitical gathering, where Christians left their Roman politics at the door. It also wasn't a place where Christians mounted a Roman flag next to--or above--a Christian one. Church was a place where God's plan for governing the world was revealed, where one could witness what it means to follow the Creator's design for human flourishing. <p/> In this timely book, Preston explores why:
- Israel's exile to Babylon profoundly shaped the political identity of God's people--and still does today.
- Christians should see themselves as foreigners in the country where they live.
- The gospel of Jesus' kingdom was politically subversive.
- The church today should view its political identity as fundamentally separate from the empire.
Total allegiance to a political party dilutes the church's witness. Discover a more biblical, powerful way to live in a secular world. Discover what it means to live in exile.
