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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 10.2 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768934564128,"sku":"9780874863482","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a75cf17fd526d245b694359c3e169fa2.webp?v=1780340219","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/plough-quarterly-no-24-faith-and-politics-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
