In an era of political upheaval, a book that strengthens core Christian convictions through the power of the Gospel.
When Bishop of Washington Mariann Edgar Budde called on newly inaugurated President Donald Trump to have mercy during a January 2025 prayer service, the radical political implications of core Gospel work―preaching the Good News, caring for the poor and immigrant, healing the sick, and telling the truth―were laid bare.
What she asked was not unusual in the long history of God’s people. But it took on a radical edge due to the change in political context. The context may have changed, but the work stays the same.
Following Bishop Budde’s lead, this book features essays from theologians, ethicists, liturgists, and pastors who will consider one basic Christian commitment―“Love Thy Neighbor” or “Judge not, lest you be judged,” for example―in light of this political moment. Together, they explore the power of the Gospel for our times and provide resources to Christian leaders and the faith communities they serve.
To encourage reflection and dialogue, each essay concludes with three discussion questions that can be used in a variety of faith-based settings, from adult formation groups to book clubs.
